1. What do you think is the greatest threat to the existence of mankind?2. Why are we so concerned about nuclear weapons?On August 9, 1945, the day the atomic bomb was dropped on Nagasaki, Yosuke Yamahata, a photographer serving in the Japanese army, was dispatched to the destroyed city. The hundred or so pictures he took the next day constitute the fullest photographic record of nuclear destruction in existence. Hiroshima, destroyed three days earlier, had largely escaped the camera's lens in the first day after the bombing. It was therefore left to Yamahata to record, methodically — and, as it happens, with a great and simple artistry — the effects on a human population of a nuclear weapon only hours after it had been used. Some of Yamahata's pictures show corpses charred in the peculiar way in which a nuclear fireball chars its victims. They have been burned by light — technically speaking, by the "thermal pulse" —and their bodies are often branded with the patterns of their clothes, whose colors absorb light in different degrees. One photograph shows a horse twisted under the cart it had been pulling. Another shows a heap of something that once had been a human being hanging over a ledge into a ditch. A third shows a girl who has somehow survived unwounded standing in the open mouth of a bomb shelter and smiling an unearthly smile, shocking us with the sight of ordinary life, which otherwise seems to have been left behind for good in the scenes we are witnessing. Stretching into the distance on all sides are fields of rubble dotted with fires, and, in the background, a view of mountains. We can see the mountain because the city is gone. That absence, even more than wreckage, contains the heart of the matter. The true measure of the event lies not in what remains but in all that has disappeared.It took a few seconds for the United States to destroy Nagasaki with the world's second atomic bomb, but it took fifty years for Yamahata's pictures of the event to make the journey back from Nagasaki to the United States. They were shown for the first time in this country in 1995, at the International Center for Photography in New York. Arriving a half-century late, they are still news. The photographs display the fate of a single city, but their meaning is universal,since, in our age of nuclear arms, what happened to Nagasaki can, in a flash, happen to any city in the world. In the photographs, Nagasaki comes into its own. Nagasaki has always been in the shadow of Hiroshima, as if the human imagination had stumbled to exhaustion in the wreckage of the first ruined city without reaching even the outskirts of the second. Yet the bombing of Nagasaki is in certain respects the fitter symbol of the nuclear danger that still hangs over us. It is proof that, having once used nuclear weapons, we can use them again. It introduces the idea of a series — the series that, with tens of thousands of nuclear weapons remaining in existence, continues to threaten everyone. (The unpredictable, open-ended character of the series is suggested by the fact that the second bomb originally was to be dropped on the city of Kokura, which was spared Nagasaki's fate only because bad weather protected it from view.) Each picture therefore seemed not so much an image of something that happened a half-century ago as a window cut into the wall of the photography center showing what soon could easily happen to New York. Wherever the exhibit might travel, moreover, the view of threatened future from these "windows" would be roughly accurate, since, although every intact city is different from every other, all cities that suffer nuclear destruction will look much the same.Yamahata's pictures afford a glimpse of the end of the world. Yet in our day, when the challenge is not just to apprehend the nuclear peril but to seize a God-given opportunity to dispel it once and for all, we seem to need, in addition, some other picture to counterpoise against ruined Nagasaki — one showing not what we would lose through our failure but what we would gain by our success. What might that picture be, though? How do you show the opposite of the end of the world? Should it be Nagasaki, intact and alive, before the bomb was dropped — or perhaps the spared city of Kokura? Should it be a child, or a mother and child, or perhaps the Earth itself? None seems adequate, for how can we give a definite form to that which can assume infinite forms, namely, the lives of all human beings, now and in the future? Imagination, faced with either the end of the world or its continuation, must remain incomplete. Only action can satisfy.Once, the arrival in the world of new generations took care of itself. Now, they can come into existence only if, through an act of faith and collective will, we ensure their right to exist. Performing that act is the greatest of the responsibilities of the generations now alive. The gift of time is the gift of life, forever, if we know how to receive it.。

The Iceberg Principle
Hemingway is famous for his Iceberg Principle, that is, to present the story with simple sentences and dialogues and leave a large space for readers to explore, to reflect. It was just like the iceberg, which had only one-eighth part on the water and seven-eighths part under the water.
The main working corollary of Hemingway’s “iceberg principle” is that the full meaning of the text is not limited to moving the plot forward: there is always a web of association and inference, a submerged reason behind the inclusion (or even the omission) of every detail.

Summary of the Story
The story is about an American couple that spends their holidays in an Italian hotel. It is a __ra_i_n_y_ day and the American woman sees _a__ca_t_i_n_th_e__ra_i_n_, which she wants to protect from the raindrops. When she goes out of the hotel, which is kept by an old __It_a_li_an__ who really seems to do everything to please that woman, and wants to get the cat, it is gone. After returning to the hotel room, she starts a conversation with __h_e_r_h_u_s_b_an_d___, who is __r_e_a_d_in_g__ all the time, telling him how much she wants to have a cat and other things, for instance _h_e_r_o_w_n__si_lv_e_r_to__e_a_t _w_it_h. Her husband seems to be annoyed by that and not interested at all. At the end of the story there is a knock on the door and the maid stands there holding a cat for the American woman in her hands.

You've fine tuned your cover letter. You've completed the application. You've lined up your references. Finally, you've been invited to an interview for a job! Interviewing for jobs can be a daunting (yet exhilarating) prospect. Like anything, you will get better with practice. However, the more practice you have in job interviews usually means you're also racking up the rejections, and no one likes to experience too much rejection.Now that you've landed an interview, what's the best way to impress the hiring official, be invited back for a second interview, and get offered the job? You need to be prepared, and, surprisingly, it's incredibly important to know what not to say during an interview. One slip could mean the difference between a job offer and a rejection. With that in mind, here are the things you should never say during a job interview.How much does the job pay?As a general rule, wages and salaries are not usually discussed during a first interview. Asking about this makes you seem like you only care about money. Even if you are invited to a second or third interview, let the employer bring up the topic of money. Be prepared to tell them how much you're expecting. Give a range of what you'd accept rather than a specific amount. Estimating too high or too low might automatically knock you out of the running. It's important to do your research, though. How much do other employers pay? What's the going rate for the position?What does your company do?If you don't know what the company makes or does, why are you interviewing for them? Do your research. With the unbelievable amount of information available on the Internet and at the local library,there's absolutely no excuse for ignorance. You should walk into the interview knowing a lot about the company.I didn't get along with my old boss because . . .Criticizing a previous employer implies that you may do the same to them when you leave. Instead, explain how you overcame a difference of opinion and how you managed difficult situations. Don't dwell on negative issues, and make your answer short.I don't have any questions for you.Of course you do. Saying you don't have any questions indicates you aren't very interested in the job or don't know much about the company. Do your research and walk into the interview with questions. Try to think of questions that the interviewer won't answer as part of the introduction. For example, ask about expansion plans or future development within the company.I've been going through a rough patch at home . . .Interviewers will probably ask you to share something about yourself. Remember to keep your response pertinent to the job and position. Talk about your education, previous employment, goals, and ambitions. If you mention hobbies or personal interests, keep it short. Do not discuss personal problems.In five years, I want to live on a tropical island.When asked about your future, employers want to know how your goals will benefit their company. Saying anything else will tell them that you aren't ambitious or interested in the job at hand. What do you want to achieve in this job or in this industry?41. Of the following, which is the least likely place you would find this article?A. Business magazine.B. College newspaper.C. Management textbook.D. Online blog.42. Which of the following would make the best title for this article?A. What Not to Say in a Job InterviewB. Landing the Perfect JobC. Acing Your Next Job InterviewD. How to Get a Job Interview43. According to this article, what is an acceptable topic of discussion in a job interview?A. Details of your "dream job".B. Hobbies and personal interests.C. Details of a recent divorce.D. Disagreements you had with a previous employer.44. Based on this information, potential employers are interested in which of the following qualities?A. Apathy.B. Sympathy.C. Honesty.D. Ambition.45.

Unfortunately, we often focus on the popular dramatizations of the story to the exclusion of the message that lies at its heart. The story is now a staple of the Western Christmas tradition, but many people don't fully understand why. A Christmas Carol is a very simple and straightforward presentation of the dangers associated with power and greed. However, the story has a more fundamental (if somewhat clichéd by today's standards) message: seize the day and take advantage of all that life has to offer. The reader is left with the notion that, within all of us, there exist qualities that can be improved to unknowable benefit, and it is our responsibility to make necessary improvements in order to realize those benefits.We see, in Ebenezer Scrooge, an individual almost entirely consumed by greed with little or no worries for the rest of humanity. He is, obviously, an extreme case with whom it is difficult to identify. His days are spent in concentration over his money and how best to underuse it, and his life has been wasted on this cause. He squanders his days while those around him, such as his nephew and Bob Cratchit, attempt to live their lives and make them worthwhile.When Marley visits Scrooge in his bedroom, he explains what will soon happen and why and says, "It is required of every man, that the spirit within him should walk abroad among his fellowmen, and travel far and wide." Marley never did this and is condemned to walk forever in chains after death. Scrooge, also, has never done this, and his visits with the three ghosts are meant to awaken that inside of him which has been dead all his life. Scrooge's journeys with the three ghosts are also meant to make the reader reexamine his or her own life.Scrooge, as well as the reader, also learns that in a self-absorbed existence based on the exclusion of others, we succumb to ignorance. Ignorance of others and the world around us breeds contempt for that which we do not understand and creates an inescapable trap into which we inevitably fall. Scrooge did not understand this and ultimately fell victim to his own vices. We, as both readers and human beings, are todraw from Scrooge's experiences his final lessons from the ghosts and not become victim to the sametraps which befell him.41.

Though uniforms have long been a staple of private schools, they are still a rarity in public schools. This is not merely a debate over the aesthetics of fashion. Rather, this debate lies at the very heart of the politics of fashion.What students choose to wear (and what their parents allow them to wear) to school consistently rouses strong feelings and animated discussion. Much has already been said in defense of and against school uniforms, and I won't belabor the individual points further. There are many valid points on both sides of the argument. Instead, I intend to explain why I personally stand in opposition to school uniforms and highlight the reasons why uniforms would serve very little purpose in our specific school district.For the most part, students in our district are well behaved and don't approach any semblance of extreme behavior or expression. Administrators seem to be more worried about a potential escalation of student expression that so far has shown no indication of materializing. Principals and other district administrators are chasing shadows—they're looking to solve a problem that doesn't exist. Our district has no history of student activism, and there are only a few examples of flagrant violations of the existing dresscode. In short, there is absolutely no precedent to believe that students will choose to begin acting out against authority through fashion statements.School uniforms seem to be an inappropriate response to a nonexistent problem. It is an unnecessary exertion of power by administrators who don't know how to properly exercise authority. Let's take a moment to consider a hypothetical school district that is overwhelmed by student discipline problems. Would the institution of school uniforms be an appropriate response in that case? I would argue in the negative. Uniforms, by themselves, would in no way prevent students from expressing themselves or their views. Improper and unpopular behavior will not be stifled by a school uniform. It may actually make the situation worse, as resentment over the mandatory clothing would likely be great.School uniforms obviously interfere with students' right to self-expression—a right that should be protected in the public school system. In addition, mandating that all students wear identical (and unattractive) outfits enforces the message that conformity is the preferred method to prevent or resolve conflict. This is certainly not an appropriate message for our schools to be sending to children.41. This style of writing would best be described as _______.A. expositoryB. descriptiveC. narrativeD. argumentative42. Of the following, which is the most likely place you would find this article?A. Newspaper editorial.B. Academic journal.C. Fashion blog.D. Education magazine.43. According to the author, which is NOT the reason why school uniforms are a bad idea?A. They are a violation of students' rights.B. There is no justification for their use in the local district.C. They are expensive and many students can't afford them.D. They don't adequately address the problem they are intended to solve.44. In which paragraph does the author use a metaphor to describe school administrators?A. Paragraph 1.B. Paragraph 2.C. Paragraph 3.D. Paragraph 4.45. Based on this passage, it seems likely that the author would never _____ the use of schooluniforms.A. suspendB. dictateC. empowerD. condone新标准大学英语综合教程4 Unit test 4 答案Part I: Vocabulary and StructureSection A: Complete the sentences using the correct words in the box.∙pathetic∙superficial∙indispensable∙overseas∙notify∙deceive∙align∙marital∙compatible∙compile1.Your answer Correct answermarital marital2.Your answer Correct answeroverseas overseas3.Your answer Correct answeralign align4.Your answer Correct answercompile compile5.We can't afford to lose Thomas—Your answer Correct answerindispensable indispensable6.Your answer Correct answersuperficial superficial7.she wants.Your answer Correct answerdeceive deceive8.Your answer Correct answerpathetic pathetic9.Your answer Correct answernotify notify10.change.Your answer Correct answercompatible compatibleSection B: Choose the best way to complete the sentences.11.

There have always been and will always be people who lie, cheat, or steal to get what they want. Dishonesty has many faces. Some of them are obvious, and some are more clandestine. Producing counterfeit products—products that are not the genuine article—is one of the more widespread forms of dishonesty. The practice affects almost every industry in every country of the world.Official currency is not immune to this problem. Indeed, counterfeit banknotes have been a problem for nearly as long as people have used money. Many governments (who print and regulate national currencies) have fought back by creating banknotes that are incredibly difficult to copy. High-tech security features are embedded within the money to identify the note as legal and genuine. Modern banknotes are not merely slips of paper; they are essentially sophisticated pieces of technology!In most countries of the world, the printing and issue of banknotes is handled exclusively by the government or a government-owned bank. In the United Kingdom, however, there are seven retail banks, in addition to the central Bank of England, that are authorized to print their own banknotes. These seven banks are located in, and print currency unique to, Scotland and Northern Ireland.Founded in 1694, the Bank of England is the central bank of the United Kingdom, and it primarily serves England and Wales. For nearly 300 years, the Bank of England has been issuing banknotes, and for nearly 300 years, counterfeit notes have been a problem. In response to this ongoing threat, the following security features have been developed.∙Banknotes are printed on special paper that is highly durable and has a unique feel.∙Raised lettering is used throughout the notes, particularly on the words Bank of England.∙ A metallic thread weaves through every note. It looks like a broken line across the note, but if you hold it up to the light, it appears as a continuous dark line.∙There is a watermark of the Queen that is visible when held up to the light.∙Every note has a 3D hologram design that alternates between the value of the note and an image of Britannia.∙If the note is placed under an ultra-violet light, the number (5, 10, 20, or 50. will appear as bright red and green.∙Microlettering beneath the Queen's portrait is only visible with a magnifying glass.The Bank of England prints notes in denominations of £5, £10, £20, and £50. The above security features are common to all four values. £20 and £50 banknotes have additional features that make them even more difficult to counterfeit.。

综合教程第四册Unit FourI. Background核武器技术是利用原子核裂变或聚变反应（或两者同时发生）瞬间释放出巨大能量造成大规模杀伤破坏效果的武器。
整个武器系统应包括核弹头（战斗部）、运载投掷系统和指挥控制系统。
通常所说的核武器一般是指核弹头。
从第二次世界大战后期核武器产生到今天，核武器一直是大规模杀伤性武器中最引人注目的，因为它具有空前巨大的破坏力：核爆炸可以在瞬间造成巨大的破坏；产生持久的放射性效应；核战争可能引发风暴型大火，甚至可．能导致“核冬天”的来临，进而对人类的生存环境和社会生活乃至整个地球都会造成巨大的危害。
核武器的研制、试验、生产和储存都需要复杂的技术和耗费巨额资金。
因此，核武器是迄今为止人类拥有的各种武器中最特殊的一类。
1996年9月联合国大会通过了《全面禁止核试验条约》，并开放供签署。
目前，除印度、巴基斯坦等少数几个国家外，世界上大多数国家（149个）已经成为条约签署国。
《全面禁止核试验条约》在某种程度上可以防止核武器的扩散和核武器的增长，阻止更多国家掌握核武器技术，同时也对现有核武器国家的核武器保持、发展和安全、可靠性产生较大影响。

英语综合教程4unit4Unit 4: Pop CultureIn today's globalized world, pop culture plays a significant role in our lives. It refers to the popular and mainstream cultural trends and practices that are widely accepted and embraced by the general public. From music and movies to fashion and social media, pop culture influences our values, behaviors, and beliefs. In this unit, we will explore the various aspects of pop culture and its impact on society.One of the most influential elements of pop culture is music. Throughout history, music has been used to reflect the social and political climate of a particular time. Whether it is rock, hip-hop, or pop music, people connect emotionally with the lyrics and melodies. Music has the power to bring individuals from different walks of life together and create a sense of unity and understanding.Another aspect of pop culture is movies. Films have the ability to transport us to different worlds and provide entertainment and escapism. We watch movies to feel joy, sadness, fear, or excitement. Hollywood, in particular, has a significant influence on global cinema, with American movies dominating the international market. The film industry not only creates jobs and generates revenue but also serves as a platform for addressing social issues and spreading awareness.Fashion is another essential component of pop culture. Trends in clothing and accessories change rapidly, driven by celebrities, fashion designers, and influencers. Fashion allows individuals toexpress themselves and communicate their identities to the world. The fashion industry contributes to the global economy and influences the way people dress and present themselves in society.Social media has revolutionized how we communicate and connect with others. Platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok have become popular means of sharing opinions, experiences, and promoting trends. Social media influencers have gained prominence, with millions of followers looking to them for inspiration and guidance. However, the rise of social media has also raised concerns about privacy, cyberbullying, and the authenticity of online relationships.In conclusion, pop culture is ever-evolving and plays a crucial role in shaping our society. From music and movies to fashion and social media, it influences our values, behaviors, and beliefs. As global citizens, it is important to be aware of the impact pop culture has on our lives and to critically analyze the messages it promotes. By doing so, we can make informed choices and actively participate in shaping the culture around us.。

At the same time, a considerable number of overseas Chinese students have returned home in recent years, for they hold an optimistic outlook for the long-term growth of the Chinese economy. The internet has strengthened the links betweenChinese young people and those elsewhere. They follow the latest trend and copy foreign fashions. Some of them don’t seem to care for traditional Chinese virtues, let alone carry them forward, which has given rise to worries that the traditional Chinese culture might one day vanish.

Where pants are too long.Craig: The crotches are down to here, the seat’s down to here, the pants are up to there.Lynn Sherr: Where elevators are filled with giants.Rob: You kind of get cramped. And you know, it’s kind of hard to breathe sometimes.Lynn Sherr: Where driving a car means your feet don’t reach the pedals.David: You have to fumble down here, and some have bars underneath and some have these little electronic things on the side you have to figure out.Lynn Sherr: And where you can’t see the movie screen, let alone find a date to there.lst woman: I don’t care hair color, eye color, skin color-they need to be tall. Sorry.Lynn Sherr: Welcome to the world of short men. Ralph Keyes, 5’7”, wrote a book about height.Ralph Keyes: We just assume anybody we’re looking up to has power…has power over us.Lynn Sherr: We put Chris and Debbie, colleagues here at ABC News, in front of our camera, posing at different heights. Half the shots showed Chris as the tallerof the pair.Chris: The air’s kind of thin up here.Lynn Sherr: In the other half, Debbie was taller. Then we gave the photos to students at Fairleigh Dickinson University, and asked them to tell us a story about whatwas going on. When Chris was taller, the adjectives used to describe himwere mature and respected. When Chris was shorter than Debbie, theycalled him submissive, childish, weak. Andrea McGinty, who runs a datingservice in Chicago, knows all the tricks. We asked her to help us constructan experiment to test just how willing women are to date shorter men. Andwe found three brave volunteers. Stu is the shortest. How tall are you?Stu: I’m 5 foot. And 5’5” with the Afro.Lynn Sherr: Rob is 5’3”. He prefers taller women.Rob: I kind of enjoy it. I mean, I think there are some serious advantages to being a little bit, having a woman who’s a little bit taller.Lynn Sherr: David is getting married this fall.David: She is 5 feet tall.Lynn Sherr: And you are?David: I am 5’6”.Lynn Sherr: Oh, well.David: Giant, right.Lynn Sherr: We recruited other men about the same age as David, Stu, and Rob, but taller.We asked them all to dress in jeans and a sweater, then we did somethingcruel. We put them in lineups, five at a time, behind a two-way mirror. Themen couldn’t see or hear what was going on in the next room. That’s wherewe invited groups of women to look at the men and choose a date. In thiscase, we wanted to see if anyone would pick 5’3” Rob. When Andrea told uswomen like doctors, we gave him an M.D. Their choice?2nd woman: Anderw.3rd woman: I would say, Matt.Lynn Sherr: No, Rob. We piled on some more assets. We said, besides being a doctor, he was also a best–selling author and champion skier who just built his own skihouse.Andrea McGinty: Does that affect your choices?4th woman: He’s still short.Lynn Sherr: Then we gave Rob a promotion. We made him chief of at a prestigious hospital.Andrea McGinty: Who would you pick, Kim?5th woman: Andrew’s probably the closest to who I’d pick.6th woman: I’d pick Matt.7th woman: Jeffrey, the pilot.Lynn Sherr: What would it take? Now, we said Rob was also a gourmet cook who loves children.8th woman: Oh, definitely I would take him in a minute, then. Height, no problem.7th woman: I wouldn’t, because I would think I don’t want short, little kids. I was thinking that!Lynn Sherr: Well, at least someone liked Rob. But if it was this harsh for him at 5’3”, what would it take to get a date for Stu at just 5 feet?ListeningPart 1A.

T oday we welcome Susan Yiga1, a hairstylist who does a lot of work for the film industry. Susan has won numerous awards for her beautiful work.S: Oh, thanks.C: Susan, I love your work. So many movies. So many gorgeous actors.S: Thank you, Chuck. Great to be here.C: Susan is an expert on the history of hairstyles, and today we’re going to focus on men’s hairstyles. Susan, tell us something about how men’s hairstyles changed in the twentieth century.S: Absolutely. But before I do, let’s not forget some of the styles that were in fashion before the twentieth century. Remember that back in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, among the European upper classes, the wig was a fashion must. Everyone wore one.C: Think wigs will ever come back?S: These days, you never know. Do you know why they became so fashionable?C: Not really.S: Well, you see, in the seventeenth century, King Louis XIV of France was going bald –so he had a staff of about forty wig makers working on long curly wigs for him to wear. C: Forty wig makers!S: Yes. And of course it then became the rage for all men to wear long curly wigs – until the nineteenth century. At that time, the style changed, and men stopped wearing wigs by the beginning of the nineteenth century. After that, they generally wore their own hair fair fairly long, and most men wore very long beards or sideburns.C: Which we see in some of the very early photos from that time.S: Right. But by the early twentieth century, that had changed. The norm for men was to wear their hair cut very, very short. And beards were something only grandfathers wore.If a man wore a mustache at all, it was cut very short.C: Until the 1960s and’70s, of course.S: Of course.B. Read the following statements and listen to Part 2 again. Complete the statements, according to the information in the program.1. b2. a3. cScriptPart 2S: By the 1960s, in Europe and throughout the Americas, men began to wear their hair long, and they grew beards and mustaches – pretty much as a protest against decades of what they saw as a very conservative culture.C: I remember that.S: At that time there had been an unwritten fashion code that said any man who didn’t wearhis hair very short – or who had a beard – was a radical.C: That’s hard to believe today.S: But that’s how it was. In the UK and the U.S., rock musicians led the way with hair, and mustaches seeming to get longer each year.C: Men today don’t always realize what an incredible change that was. Isn’t that true?S: Absolutely. How a man wore his hair was a social and political statement. But today,men’s hair fashions are all over the place –which was certainly not true back then.Men can wear their hair either long or short. Anything goes.C: Ponytails. Braids.S: Yup. A short beard or moustache.C: The goatee has been the beard of choice for a number of years now.S: And, of course, the bald look has become very popular now. Who would have thought twenty years ago that men would actually choose to shave off all their hair! No way! C: Any other trends worth looking at?S: Well, we haven’t said anything yet about men dyeing their hair. Over the last decade some men have chosen to dye their hair bright blond, red, yellow –even green or purple.C: Yeah, as a matter of fact, I saw that last time I was in Tokyo.S: That’s right. I’ve heard that in Japan this is a kind of social statement in response to strict school dress codes.C: Well, thank you, Susan, for … ahem … letting your hair down about a very interesting subject.S: Good one, Chuck. Thanks for having me.Teaching suggestionsStep 1Have a volunteer read the statements and answer choices out loud.

When Albert Einstein was a child, he was very shy and timid, and he did not learn to speak until he was 3 years old. Isaac Newton was a posthumous child because his father died before he was born. His mother then married another man and Isaac had to live with his grandmother. His academic performance was very poor when he went to primary school. Because his father died, Mark Twain was forced to earn his own living when he was only 12 years old. His jobs ranged from being an apprentice in a publishing house to a sailor on a boat on the Mississippi.
