Theme-Related WritingDo either of the following two writing tasks.

Write a letter of encouragement (ofabout 150 words) to one of your high school friends who failed in the collegeentrance examination. Tell him or her about your new understanding of theneed to remain optimistic.2) The writers of the two texts in this unit convey to us the message that weneed to look at the positive side ofanything that comes to us and that weneed to take an optimistic and positive attitude toward life. Write an essay (ofabout 150 words) to share your ideas with your classmates. The followinghints may be of some help:a. What is meant by “thinking positively”?b.

I’ve just read an article about how pessimistic and optimistic thoughts can affect our behaviour and I’m now sending you a copy, hoping that it will help you step out of the shadows.Naturally, failing the college entrance examination can be very depressing, yet if you continue to dwell on the past, you will never be able to pick yourself up and focus on what is more important for now and the future. Life is full of trials and anyone may suffer setbacks. We must take an optimistic attitude towards the things we have to deal with. Optimism and positive thinking are powerful forces. Good things do come true if we picture them often. Please do have confidence in your potential. Just work hard and prepare for another chance.You will make it.Yours,Janet(152 words)▆Sample Essay for T ask 2:Thinking positively means allowing your mindto be filled with optimistic feelings, and alwayshoping for the best though still aware of thedifficulties that might be involved.The human mind is powerful; thoughts ofoptimism and pessimism can be a self-fulfillingprophecy. Though it might seem impossible tosome, positive thinking and success actually havea cause-and-result relationship. The reason isthat a person with positive thinking will alwaysbroadcast goodwill and confidence and that kindof radiating attitude will take a hold on everybody.Gradually, people’s attitude will shift towards moretrust and respect. This not only opens up mo reopportunities for the individual, but it also feedsback emotionally, and the cycle continues.Though the shaping of a positive or negativepersonality often happens subconsciously, it ispossible to control such processes consciously. Aperson can try visualizing favourable situations,whether it is remembering a contest won as achild or imagining getting that job offer so longsought after. Over timecircumstances will changeaccordingly. (169 words)。

It was generally assumed that animals could simply not feel emotions such as happiness, sadness, jealousy, anger, or grief. It wasn't that the intensity of these emotions was more limited than in humans; the general consensus was that such emotions were literally absent in all other animals.However, such thinking has recently been called into question as more and more researchers are uncovering evidence that suggests animals do indeed feel emotions. In some cases, these emotions are very obvious! Dog owners have known this for a long time. If a dog does something bad and is reprimanded by its owner, it will often hang its head low and exhibit "puppy-dog eyes." The dog knows it has been naughty and this is, in effect, its exhibition of sadness and sorrow.Another relatively clear example of animals' emotional behaviour is when they show aggression. In some cases, it doesn't take very much for animals to become irritated and angry. Dogs, wolves, lions, tigers, birds—nearly every animal has been observed in an agitated state and acting out against the cause of its frustration. In fact, animal researchers have even witnessed animals in the wild waging war and exacting revenge.Biologists have reported on countless other examples of animals' emotional behaviour. For example, some animals grieve over deceased family members, some dream and have nightmares, some display pride in the work demanded of them, some exhibit friendship and cooperation, and many show love. Examples of compassion and self-indulged enjoyment are also not uncommon.Based on the biological and scientific evidence, it seems beyond doubt that animals are capable of feeling and showing a wide range of emotions. Human do not have a monopoly on such feelings, and it's time for more people to understand that we're all part of one big emotional family.41. According to the article, which of the following was a general assumption made throughoutmuch of history?A. People feel a wide range of emotions.B. Animals feel a wide range of emotions.C. People feel a limited range of emotions.D. Animals are incapable of feeling emotions.42. This style of writing would best be described as _______.A. expositoryB. argumentativeC. narrativeD. descriptive43. Which of the following would make the best title for this article?A. The Limited Emotional Lives of AnimalsB. A Monopoly on Emotional BehaviorC. Emotions are UniversalD. Animals are People Too44. What is meant by "puppy-dog eyes" (Para 2)?A. Eyes that are full of emotion.B. Eyes that show no emotion.C. Eyes that belong to a puppy.D. Eyes that look like a puppy's.45. Which of the following does the author NOT present in order to support the topic?A. Popular opinion.B. Personal opinion.C. Scientific evidence.D. Biological research.。

Pre-reading questions for discussionDiscuss and answer the following questions.1.What ,in your opinion,are the disadvantages of growing older?2. What do you think are the virtues of being young?3.Most people are afraid of death and therefore afraid of getting older,but are there any virtues of old age that you can observe and appreciate?Step II. An Integrated Analysis of Text 1The Virtues of Growing Older.Structural analysis of the text1. The passage can be divided into three parts.Part One: (Paragraph 1-2 ) this is the introductory paragraphIt tells that our society worships youth and being young is often pleasant ,but being older has distinct advantages.Part Two: (Paragraph 3-5) It describes the virtues of growing older in details:We no longer feel anxious about what others will think ;We have already made many of critical decisions;The greatest benefit of being older is knowing who i am.Part Three:(Paragraph 6)this is a conclusion paragraphThe writer winds up her discussion with a reference to her parents’ contentments in the last paragraph.Step III. Comprehension questionsAnalysis of Paragraghs1-21)Why do people want to hide their gray hair and delay the effect of aging? They worship youth and are afraid of growing older, so they try every means to look young.2)What does the writer mean when she says “it is un-American to say so”?She means these questions seem contrary to the values commonly held by most American people. And the American people would do anything possible to delay aging.3)Does the writer deny the virtues of being young?No, she does not. The writer admits the virtues of being young, but what she really wants to talk about is those advantages of growing older, which are discussed in the subsequent paragraphs. So the last sentence of the second paragraph is both thematic and transitionalParagraph 3AnalysisThe writer, in this paragraph, offers the first advantage of growing older -not being obsessed with one’s appearance. It can be noticed that the technique of contrast is used to project the difference between adolescents and people in their forties:“When my brother Dave and I were teens…”“When Dave and I were young…”“Now, however, Dave and I are beyond such adolescent agonies.”“Now my clothes are attractive yet easy to wear.”“We no longer feel anxious…”These contrasts are focused on two aspects: the shape of their bodies and clothes. With her own experience, the writer drives home her point that adolescents “feel anxious about what others will think”, while older people are happy “as long as we feel good about how we look”.The following question could be asked:1)What is the change in people’s attitude towards their appearance from the writer’s own experience?Old people no longer feel anxious about what others will think. As long as they feel good about what they look, they are happy.Paragraph 4AnalysisThe second advantage is discussed in this paragraph -people in their forties are less uncertain than adolescents. The last sentence pinpoints the writer’s view: what truly worries the young people is not the problem of age, but the unknowns in the future.The following question could be asked:Is it accurate to say that older people are totally free from uncertainty?No, because they still have important choices to make. However, they have already made their major ones, while the young people will meet theirs at every turn. Paragraph 5AnalysisThis paragraph presents the third and the greatest benefit of growing older: the knowledge about yourself (the self-identity). It is implied that lack of this knowledge can bring about a kind of adolescent insanity (in contrast with the sanity of forty-year-olds) expressed in parallel structures “It means…”, “Being young means…”The following questions could be asked:1)What is the meaning of “…wishing you were never born the next”?It is related with first half of the sentence and the complete one should be “feeling happy with yourself one day and wishing you were never born the next day (because you feel so miserable)”.2)How to explain the phrase “keep a running score of everything they didwrong raising me”?It means “constantly reminding yourself of all the unhappy things that your parents did to you in the process of raising you”. Here “score” means “record”Language points.Paragraph 6After sharing her own experience in contrast to adolescents’ problems with the reader, in this paragraph the writer turns to the issue similar to the one mentioned in the first paragraph: the validity of American values on the aging problem. The writer cites her parents’ example to back her view, thus echoing the theme -distinct advantages of growing older makes a better phase of life.Step IV Language points:1.convince v.1)convince sb / yourself (of sth) to make sb/yourself believe that sth is truee.g. you’ll need to convince them of your enthusiasm fo r the job.I’d convinced myself (that) I was right.2) to persuade sb to do sthe.g. I’ve been trying to convince him to see a doctor.2.…glaldly sign with the devil just to be young again: Literally, the phrase “signwith the devil” means “to sign a contract with the devil, so that the devil would help you become young again”.

It was generally assumed that animals could simply not feel emotions such as happiness, sadness, jealousy, anger, or grief. It wasn't that the intensity of these emotions was more limited than in humans; thegeneral consensus was that such emotions were literally absent in all otheranimals.However, such thinking has recently been called into question as more and more researchers are uncovering evidence that suggests animals do indeed feel emotions.In some cases, these emotions are very obvious! Dog owners have known this for along time. If a dog does something bad and is reprimanded by its owner, it willoften hang its head low and exhibit "puppy-dog eyes." The dog knows it has been naughty and this is, in effect, its exhibition of sadness and sorrow.Another relatively clear example of animals' emotional behaviour is when they show aggression. In some cases, it doesn't take very much for animals to become irritated and angry. Dogs, wolves, lions, tigers, birds—nearly every animal hasbeen observed in an agitated state and acting out against the cause of its frustration. In fact, animal researchers have even witnessed animals in the wild waging war and exacting revenge.Biologists have reported on countless other examples of animals' emotional behaviour. For example, some animals grieve over deceased family members, somedream and have nightmares, some display pride in the work demanded of them, some exhibit friendship and cooperation, and many show love. Examples of compassion andself-indulged enjoyment are also not uncommon.Based on the biological and scientific evidence, it seems beyond doubt that animals are capable of feeling and showing a wide range of emotions. Human do nothave a monopoly on such feelings, and it's time for more people to understand thatwe're all part of one big emotional family.41. According to the article, which of the following was a general assumptionmade throughout much of historyA. People feel a wide range of emotions.B. Animals feel a wide range of emotions.C. People feel a limited range of emotions.D. Animals are incapable of feeling emotions.42.

The Limited Emotional Lives of AnimalsB. A Monopoly on Emotional BehaviorC. Emotions are UniversalD. Animals are People Too44. What is meant by "puppy-dog eyes" (Para 2)A.

What can people with sight problems see? Being blind does not always mean living in total darkness. Fortynine percent of the blind people and eighty percent of the partially sighted people can recognize a friend at one arm’s length. Other people will be affected by eye diseases in different ways: some will have no central vision or no vision to the sides; others may see a patchwork of blank and defined areas; or everything may be seen as a vague blur. Glaucoma (青光眼) can result in tunnel vision, where all side vision is lost and only central vision remains. Diabetic (糖尿病) retinopathy (视网膜眼疾) can cause blurred and patchy vision. Macular degeneration can lead to the loss of central vision while side vision remains. It should be remembered that people are affected by eye diseases in different ways. You should not assume that you know what someone can see simply because you know what eye diseases they have.

He believed in simple living close to nature and in the freedom of the individual. Although he was impressed with the power and beauty of the new steam trains, he worried about the possible effects of rapid transportation on people's live. He was also afraid that modem machines would become the masters rather than the servants of people. In addition, he opposed a strong government because it might interfere with people's freedom.Thoreau tried to live in agreement with his ideas. As a protest against slavery, he actually went to prison rather than pay taxes to a government that allowed it. In his book Civil Disobedience he wrote about the principle of peacefully resisting what a person judges to be immoral acts of government. His most famous book Walden explains many of his ideas. It also tells about his daily life in a simple cabin which he himself had built near a pond in the woods. He had left the convenience and pleasures of his city home to live alone in natural surroundings. There he lived frugally, providing most of his needs from what he found around him.For many years the ideas of Thoreau were known to scholars and to thinkers but not to the general public. However, in the middle years of this century he became the inspiration of many young people dissatisfied with the machine age and with modem ways of life. These people were impressed with his opposition to powerful government, and with his courage in living according to his beliefs. They also welcomed his appreciation of nature and of simple living. Thus Thoreau has now become the guide and ideal of many young Americans a century after his death.1. Which of the following would be a best title for this passage? ______.A. Thoreau, a Thinker against Pleasures in LifeB. Thoreau, a Violent Fighter against GovernmentC. Thoreau Enjoys More Popularity Than EverD. Thoreau, a Thinker Who Has Influenced Modern America2.

It was hard for her to make new friends but she finally had three when she joined the Babysitters Club to take care of little children whose parents were busy. Claudia, Kristy, and Mary were in her class at school and also the other members of the club. The girls met at five o'clock on Fridays and waited for the phone to ring. So far they had been busy, in spite of the fact that they couldn't stay out late and were under 13.Suddenly, the girls' world was invaded by a second group calling themselves the Babysitters Agency. They were older and the group also included a few boys. The Babysitters Club tried to think of ways to compete with the older group. They could clean and work for less money, however, they knew it would be difficult to compete. The shock was even greater than they had expected when most of their best customers started to call the new group. They seemed to get only a few jobs.To try a new policy, Kristy recruited a few older kids who told the club they didn't want to share their money with the other group. The club found out only too quickly that these older girls joined only as spies and didn't show up for their job assignments. Thus, more parents were unhappy with the club.Finally, the girls realized that the kids in the other group were not babysitters. They watched television, talked on the phone, and invited boyfriends to the house where they were sitting. When thechildren of the families started to complain, and a near accident almost occurred, the club went to the parents to tell them what was happening.1. Stacy had some trouble ______.A. making new friends at firstB. studying at her new schoolC. joining the Babysitter ClubD. looking after children for others2. The girls of the Babysitters Club ______.A. met on Friday evenings for discussionB. probably did their part-time job on weekendsC. were not allowed to go out at nightD. made phone calls on Fridays3.

Some older kids left the Babysitters Agency to join the Babysitters Club because ______.A. they did not want to give the agency some of the money they madeB. they were not happy thereC. they wanted to destroy the dubD. the club was recruiting new members5. According to the passage, after the girls learned what was happening, they went to tell the parents of ______.A, the boys of the agency B. the older girls who joined the clubC. the childrenD. the girls' boyfriends(3)A new plan for getting children to and from school is being started by the education authorities in part of Eastern England. This could end the worries of many parents fearful for their children's safety on the roads.Until now the County Council have only been able to provide bus services for children living more than three miles from their school, or sometimes less if special reasons existed.The new plan is to be tried out this term for children living at Milton who attend lmpington school. The children live just within the three-mile limit and the Council said in the past it would not undertake to provide free transport to the school. But now they have agreed to organize a bus service from Milton to Impington and back, a plan which has the support of the school's headmaster.Between 50 and 60 parents have said they would like their children to take part in. Final calculations have still to be carried out, but a Council official has said the cost to parents should be less than $30 a term.They have been able to arrange the service at a low- cost because there is already an agreement with the bus company for a bus to take children who live further away to Impington. The same bus would now just make an extra journey to pick up the Milton children. The official said they would get in touch with other groups of parents who in the past had asked if transport could be provided for their children, to see if they would like to take part in the new plan.1. The children the Council ran buses for in the past were those ______.A. who could not walk longB. whose parents were worried about themC. who had no one to accompany them to schoolD. who had to travel a long way2.

Agreement to pay for the new bus service has been obtained from ______.A. the school's headmasterB. the education departmentC. the bus companyD. the parents5. The parents the Council is now going to contact are those ______.A. who had not yet answered lettersB. who did not want to payC. whose children stayed away from schoolD. who had asked about transport before(4)For some minutes, all was quiet in the street. Then, from across the street, someone came walking. It looked like a man of middle height, dressed in a big raincoat, a soft hat and rubber-soled boots or shoes, and making little sound while walking; at most a soft, sliding sound. No one was in sight. It was a street with two rows of about fifty small houses, and there were three lamps on either side. The lamp nearest the child's house could be seen clearly, but the others were almost hidden by the smoky air. A car passed the end of the street and its lights showed faintly, but clearly enough to show the smooth skin of a women’s face. The car disappeared as the woman, wrapped up in her coat, reached the doorway of the child' s house.She put a key in the lock quickly, pushed the door open and stepped inside, then dosed the door without looking around. She began to breathe hard.She leaned against the door for a moment, then straightened up as if with an effort, and walked towards the door of the front room, the passage leading to the kitchen, and the narrow staircase. She hesitated outside the door, then went up the stairs, quickly but with hardly a sound. There was enough light from the narrow hall to show tile four doors leading off a small landing. She pushed each door open in turn and shone a torch inside, and the light fell upon beds, walls, furniture, a bathroom hand-basin, a mirror which flashed brightness back; but this was not what the woman was looking for. She turned away and went downstairs, and hesitated again at the foot of the stairs, then turned towards the kitchen. Clearly there was nothing there, or in the small wash-room, that she wanted. Two rooms remained; the front room and a smaller one next to it. She opened the front room door. After a moment, she saw the child's bed and the child.1.The lights of the car passing the end of the street showed that ______.A. a woman was driving the carB. a man and a woman were walking up the streetC. someone was standing by a street lampD. a woman was walking by herself up the street2. When the woman had closed the front door, she ______.A. looked round quicklyB. rested before movingC. started breathing againD. walked straight towards the front room3. The woman went upstairs ______.A. in complete silenceB. after looking inside the kitchenC. after hesitating for a momentD. as quickly as she could4. When she was upstairs, the woman ______.A. saw that there was a wash-basin in each roomB. found a torch inside one of the roomsC. noticed a mirror which she was looking forD. opened four different doors5. Once she was in the house, the woman behaved as if what she was looking for ______.A. might be in the kitchenB. would be easily seen by the light from the hallC. was more likely to be upstairsD. would look frightening to a childⅤ.Translation1.这个中美洲国家为保护其热带雨林的生态多样性,已制定出世界上最为雄心勃勃的规划之一。
