One thinks of successes in medicine in the fight against disease, such as the invention of antibiotics and the promise held out by advances in biogenetic engineering. On a broader scale, one thinks of man's success in harnessing new forms of energy from steam power through oil to nuclear power.Yet, nature has often hit back in unexpected ways to these attempts to tame it. New forms ofAppendix I - 98-disease that are resistant to antibiotics are constantly developing. Burning fossil fuels has led to fears of global warming; while nuclear power has produced dangerous waste that will remain a hazard for generations to come.However, perhaps to talk of man triumphing over nature is the wrong way to look at the matter. We need to find ways to work with nature rather than forever fighting against it.(154 words)Unit 2Text org. Ex. 2 On P381. Smart cars can see, hear, feel, smell, talk, and act;2.

And for those young people who aspire to study abroad or work in foreign-invested enterprises, English has become increasingly important. 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 between Chinese 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.Unit 5VocabularyI.1. 1) In a way 2) in accordance with 3) vacancy 4) in good condition5) transparent 6) rub 7) spicy 8) hitherto 9) with (a) bad grace 10) instinct 11) pawned 12) current 2.1) turned up 2) will stick to 3) brought back 4)go about 5) driving at 6) put …away 7) turning …over 8) took …aback3. 1) has a very weak constitution --- she may not be able to survive the operation.2) was taken aback by the insurance company’s rejection of my compensation claim3) was something of a surprise when we ran into each other in a place like that.4) needs trimming/ to be trimmed ---it’s getting too long.5) are often deceptive4.1) Oddly en ough …went broke …wrinkled … he had gone all to pieces2) definite … is capable of …her vanity3) too mild … sipping … strokeII.

For my own part, I find that appearances are all too often deceptive. For instance, you might be wrong if you judged by appearances only people like Edward Hyde Burton. In appearance, he seemed a man all of a piece. He was a tiny little fellow with white hair and mild blue eyes, gentle and candid. Nevertheless, he turned out to be very cruel. He insulted and fooled Lenny who was down and out and made him commit himself to an insane venture. What was still more surprising was that he was completely indifferent to Lenny’s death.

Today we are under constant pressure to work longer hours, to produce more, and to possess more. Lots of people hold the wrong perception that happiness lies in working hard and earning well/ good money.Many women today feel the same stress to work and get ahead and, at the same time, to nurture their offspring and shoulder the burden of domestic responsibilities.Research shows that workaholism tends to distance us from our immediatefamilies. It forces us to toil longer and longer hours, leaving a minute fraction of our time to be physically and emotionally available to our loved ones. Intimacy among family members is doomed to die in the process.Unit 7Vocabulary:I.1. 1) divined 2) nerves 3) solidarity 4) sacred… mourn 5) coated6) perish 7) hijack 8) grief9) farewell 10) take revenge on 11) revolves 12) denounced 2. 1) drop… off2) applied for 3) went off 4) are gaining on5) bring down 6) blotted out 7) think back on 8) picking at3. 1) brought down the American housing market in 20082) what will happen after his son steps into his shoes?3) not in the mood to go out4) long before the market began to show signs of weakness5) mourn the loss of the tranquil life we had in the countryside 4. 1) in the aftermath of… to blot our… the tragic2) armed… at dust… accomplices… explosives3) in the space of… no illusionII.
