into english, using the words and expressions in the box below.▇ answers for reference:a gold medal is a tribute to the athletic talent, determination and courage of an olympicchampion. then how do the athletes make themselves fortunate enough to be so highly honored? the champions who have mounted the winners’ stand can offer an answer based on their own experiences. first, in the course of training, they visualize themselves as champions. once their dreams of becoming champions take shape, they will cling to them courageously. what’s more, top performers are driven to bring out their best. they discipline themselves and squeeze in every possible minute to practice every day. despite their relentless efforts, they may sometimes fail to win or narrowly miss a gold medal, yet they believe in themselves and never lose heart. they are ready to take on the most psychologically and technically challenging tasks or competitions. in reality, all champions have experienced lots of hardships on their way to the vital break of their lifetime. so we won’t and can’t say that a champion is lucky. after all, luck only strikes those prepared to capitalize on it.theme-related writing1. write an essay about your favorite sports team. the following hints may be of some help.1) what is your favorite sports team?2) why do you like it so much?3) do you always support the team?▇ sample essay 1:my favorite sport team: the chinese women’s volleyball teamin quite a few sports, chinese women athletes outshine men athletes. as a girl, i always feel proud of our women table tennis players, badminton players, women divers and gymnasts. but my greatest enthusiasm always goes to the chinese women’s volleyball t eam, who, though it has undergone some ups and downs, always presents a positive, inspiring image to the public.i’ve never missed any major tv coverage of the chinese women’s team. i can’t help getting excited watching the girls shine in court, with their amazing spikes and blocks, and their never-ceasing courage and faith in winning the match. there are times when they lose the game, sometimes with embarrassing result like 0:3; there are years when they suffer a lot of injuries and new players do not match up to the veterans, yet, one must admit that the chinese girls have been practising very hard all the way.recent years have witnessed a difficult period for the team as russian, american, cuban, and brazilian teams have been rising in ranking and winning championships, but i still have faith in our team and give them my support. i wish them good luck in the coming olympics.(196 words)2. write an essay entitled “the meaning of winning a prize”. you may base your writing on what you have learnt from the two texts. the following hints may be of some help.1) what is a prize?2) what does a prize bring about?3) what is the fundamental meaning of wining prizes?▇ sample essay 2:in today’s society, competitions, contests and games are held virtually every day and everywhere. these activities put the participants into two categories: winners and losers. as symbols of public recognition, prizes are awarded to those who mount the winners’ stand.a prize brings about fame, prestige and good fortune. winners are constantly in the spotlight and attract admiring attention. their friends and colleagues come to congratulate them and their families take pride in them. more often than not, prizes simultaneously bring wealth to the winners as in the case of an olympic gold medal or a nobel prize. therefore, winners harvest both a good reputation and material rewards.however, this is not the essential meaning of wining a prize. winners are worthy of respect, admiration and good fortune because they embody some outstanding qualities that are worthy of a prize: perseverance, diligence and optimism. an athlete undergoes years of training and takes hundreds of highly demanding challenges before he steps onto that podium; a writer becomes popular overnight after he has spent years writing relentlessly in poverty and anonymity. what’s more, optimism in the face of adversity also contributes a lotto their success. they believe in themselves and have great passion for what they are engaged in. they endeavor to dotheir best,enjoying the process of fighting well. therefore, the fundamental meaning of winning a prize does not merely lie in the rewarding fame or wealth, but in the process of presenting the best part of oneself.(249 words)【篇二:新世纪大学英语3 cloze及答案】t 1what is genuine friendship? some c_______(1)views may help us

the day we were supposed to meet. i was on my beat then. walking up to the appointed place which had been turned into a hardware store, i saw a man standing there with an unlighted cigar in his mouth. before i could speak, he told me that he was waiting for a friend by the name of jimmy wells. when he struck a match to light his cigar, i saw a pale face with keen eyes and a scar. i recognized him immediately. it was bob, and it was also the face of the man wanted by the chicago police. for a moment i felt like telling him to escape right away. after all, we had been friends for so many years and he had traveled all the way to see me! but then my sense of duty told me the right thing to do. i said good-bye to him and continued my patrol, his last words still ringing in my ear: “i’ll wait

Step II Listen: Why should we learn English: Dialogue1: Listen to the dialogue once and answer the questions.1. How important is English in Yi Ling’s opinion?English gives her more access to knowledge and job opportunities.2. What type of career is Yi Ling thinking of?To be a businessman, an engineer, or a scientist.Direction: Listen to the dialogue again and check your understanding.ScriptJohn: Do you think English is very important to you, Yi Ling?Yi Ling: Definitely!John: In what way?Yi Ling: The biggest thing is that it gives me more access to knowledge. So many materials and resources are in English these days.John: Tell me more about it?Yi Ling: With English we can use more computer software, get more information onthe Internet, enjoy foreign movies and TV shows. You see, it makes a big difference. John: What about job opportunities? Can you get a better career if you are good at English here in China?Yi Ling: Definitely. And a better career means a better salary.John: What type of career are you thinking of?Yi Ling: I’m not sure yet. Maybe a businessman, maybe an engineer, or who knows?

Authority-oriented learners : Having teachers explain everything and writing everything down in the notebook.Concrete learners: Playing games, looking at pictures and talking in pairs, etc. ScriptAll right, class. Today we're going to be looking at different language learning styles. You may be surprised to find that there are different ways of going about learning languages, none of which is necessarily better than the others. Researchers have identified four basic learner "types" -- the communicative learner, the analytical learner, the authority-oriented learner and the concrete learner. Communicative learners like to learn by watching and listening to native speakers. At home, they 'like to learn by watching TV and videos. They like to learn new words by hearing them. In class, they like to learn by having conversations. Now, concrete learners like to learn by playing games, by looking at pictures and videos in class, by talking in pairs, and by listening to cassettes at home and school. Now, authority-oriented learners, on the other hand, like the teacher to explain everything. They like to write everything down in their notebook, and they like to have a textbook. They like to learn new words by seeing them. And finally, we have analytical learners. These learners like to learn by studying grammar. At home, they like to learn by studying English books, and they like to study by themselves. They like to find their own mistakes. Now, of course, it's unusual for a person to be exclusively one "type" rather than another. Most of us are mixtures of styles. What type of learner do you think you are?Step IV Discussion: What are the effective ways of learning a foreign language. Tips:+ keen interest+ confidence+ aggressiveness in study+ strong motive to communicate and express self-feeling+ participation in class-teaching+ trial and error procedure+ unique style of self-studyReferences:1.

Part Ⅲ(para.4) -----The uselessness of teaching method based on the behaviorist theory.Part Ⅳ (para.5-6)-----The useful way of learning a language.Step III. Scan the text and detect the detail information of the text.1) Part ITrue or False1. In order to catch the attention of potential learners, advertisements usually exaggerate the fast pace and great ease of learning English. T2. To be able to read the original works by great writers can be a motivation for people to learn the language of those great writers. T3. People don’t believe what advertisements say about language learning at all. F4. Each individual teacher may have his or her unique way of teaching a language. T Sentence rearrangement1. No doubt this is true to a certain extent, but it is not very helpful to students.2. But it is difficult for anyone to explain in simple language why one method is better than another, and it is no use pretending that anyone has discovered a perfect way of teaching English in every possible situation.3. It is natural for students to be attracted to methods that will teach them as quickly and efficiently and cheaply as possible.4. Some experts even argue that there are as many good methods of teaching a language as there are good teachers, because every teacher is an individual with his own personality.Key: 3-2-4-1Questions and answerQ 1 What do advertisements for English learning always claim?It is easy to learn English; it doesn’t take much time; it doesn’t take much effort.Q 2 Why do those advertisements also refer to famous writers like William Shakespeare or Charles Dickens?Both they were great writers and are considered ad great masters of the English language. The advertisers intend to use the two British writers to encourage students to join them in learning English so that they will be able to enjoy works by these great writers in the original.Q 3 Wh at is the writer’s response to such advertisements?It’s impossible to learn English well in a short time; many people must believe these ads.SkimmingQ 4 Does the author feel satisfied with the fact that every teacher has his or her own way of teaching English?No. The author recognizes the fact but does not feel happy about it because he thinks simply pointing out the fact does not help students much.If it were as easy to learn English as they say, I would have to look for another job, because very few qualified teachers would be needed.Q 5 What is the author’s profession?He must be an English teacher whose job is to train qualified English teachers.Q 6 What is meant by “every teacher is an individual with his own personality”?It means that different teachers have different personalities and, therefore, a teacher may have his or her own way of teaching English.Q 7 If you all feel that your teacher’s way of teaching is good and acceptable, does it mean that everyone in your class can learn English well enough?No. The reason is simple. Each student is an individual with his or her own personality. That is why the teach should attend to / satisfy / meet the individual needs of his or her students.No doubt this is true to a certain extent, but it is not very helpful to students.Q 8 What can we learn from the expression “This is true to a certain extent, but …”? We can see the author doesn’t totally agree with the previous statement.Q 9 Then, what, in the author’s opinion, is helpful to students?Students should have some good methods in learning English.2) Part IITrue or falseThe only way to learn a language well is to go and live in a country where it is spoken. FQuestions and answerQ 1 What are the two extremes concerning the beliefs of language learning?On one hand, some believe that the only way to learn a foreign language is to spend a great deal of time in the target country; on the other hand, some learners claim that they can master a foreign language just by self-study with only the help ofdictionaries.Q 2 Could you give some examples to show that “it is wrong to assume that each word in English has a precise equivalent in another language and vice versa”?One example is that the English word “aunt”may refer to 姑母,姨母,舅母,婶母,伯母,etc. Another case in point is that in Chinese we have “mantou”(馒头)which has no precise equivalent in English, though we can paraphrase it as “steamed bread”.3) Part IIITrue or falseLearning a language is just like how a parrot imitates a human being. FQuestions and answerWhat would teachers who believe in behaviorist psychology encourage students to do in the language learning context? Behaviorists believe that language learning is a kind of habit formation and they assume that people learn things very much like parrots and chimpanzees. So teacherswho believe in behaviorist psychology would ask students to repeat phrases and do mechanical exercises by imitation.4) (Part IV)Questions and answerQ 1 What is the author’s opinion about lea rning a new language?The author believes that no one can learn a new language well enough unless he or she is interested in it. He also thinks that the way of learning to speak and write in another language is probably similar to the way of learning one’s mother tongue.Q 2 What does the writer emphasize towards the end of this essay?He emphasizes the importance of group work in learning a new language.Q 3 Why does the writer repeat the word “real” in the last sentence?He wants to emphasize the idea th at language learning should be based on “real situations” in “real life” and the language we learn should be “real language”.5)Summary of the textDirection: Complete the following passage with words chosen from this unit.

They are not only dwellers in nature; but also transformers of it. With the development of society and its economy; people tend to become less dependent on nature directly; but indirectly their dependence grows.Human beings are connected with nature by “blood” ties. No one can live outside nature. However; the previous dynamic balance between man and nature has shown signs of breaking down. Problems such as the population explosion; ecological imbalance and the shortage of natural resources have become major factors keeping human society from being further developed.Professor Spirkin holds that the only choice for human beings is the wise organization of production and care for Mother Nature.Theme-Related Writing▆ Write an essay of no less than 150 words on the topic “My Understanding of Environmental Protection”. Your writing should cover the following points:1 the relationship between man and the environment2 the urgency of environmental protection3 ways to protect the environment▆ Sample essayMy Understanding of Environmental ProtectionMan and the environment are closely related. Man relies on the environment for water; food and shelter. A harmonious relationship between man and the environment is essential for human survival on the earth.However; man and the environment have never been on such bad terms as they are now. As society develops; man’s transformation of nature has severely polluted his living environment. Deforestation leads to changes in rainfall patterns; causing devastating floods; droughts and sandstorms. The discharge of chemical pollutants endangers our health and the lives of other beings. And mass production has resulted in the shortage of irreplaceable natural resources such as coal and oil. If we take no immediate and effective steps to protect our environment; human beings may be the next species to become extinct.We should do our best to protect our environment by planting moretrees; taking care of wildlife; reducing industrial wastes; using renewable energy; and imposing heavy fines on environmentally-unfriendly activities; so as to preserve the environment for future generations.167 wordsUnit TwoMan and TechnologyEnhance Your Language AwarenessWords in Action▆ Working with Words and Expressions1.In the box below are some of the words you have learned in this unit.Complete the following sentences with them.

It not only enables us to keep in touch with each other almost anytime and anywhere but also helps us solve problems or do business efficiently. In emergencies; a mobile phone can even be a life-saver. Besides; its multi-functions add ease and color to our lives. With a mobile phone; we can receive mail; read news; listen to music; play games; and take pictures.Yet; the mobile phone has its disadvantages; too. Most of us have experienced the nuisance of unwanted or wrong calls. We are inconvenienced by calls on occasions when we least expect one. Besides; the technology infrastructure to support mobile communication has consumed valuable natural resources and caused significant environmental problems. It is reported that electromagnetic radiation waves from the phone may result in health problems.Despite its negative side; the advantages of the mobile phone outweigh its disadvantages.

In most cases; fame can also help them gain wealth. But; after all; very few people can really become famous while most people; including most artists; are unlikely to become famous.It is true that some failure for some people at certain times in their lives does motivate them to strive even harder so as to achieve final success. For example; Thomas Edison; the famous American inventor; had tried hundreds of materials before he finally found the suitable fuse for the electric bulb. However; unfortunately; for most people failure is the end of their struggle.Therefore; in my opinion; success is one thing and fame is another. As long as you have tried your best; you’re already successful whether you are famous or not.Theme-Related WritingWrite a composition of no less than 150 words on the topic “Fame —Good or Evil ”. Your paper should cover the following points:1 the advantages of being famous2 the disadvantages of being famous3 your attitude towards fameSample essay:Fame — Good or EvilFame has always been pursued by many people for the advantages it brings about. Fame can assure one of a high social status; high regard; great admiration; etc. Fame can also bring one wealth as a celebrity has more chances to earn big money. Besides; the applause and flowers from fans may boost one’s self-confidence and increase one’s sense offulfillment.However; fame can ruin one’s life; too. It deprives one of his privacy. As a public figure; he is often chased by fans and journalists; and his private life never escapes the media’s attention or public curiosity. Fame also places one under great pressure. He has to work in line with public expectations and thus becomes the slave of his own success.So fame is a double-edged sword. I don’t seek fame and I don’t envy those who are famous. I highly appreciate what the American poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow says about fame: “The talent of success is nothing more than doing well whatever you do without a thought of fame.”第四章答案Enhance Your Language AwarenessWords in Action▇Working with Words and Expressions1 In the boxes below are some of the words you have learned in this unit.

In addition; he should have initiative and creativity. Having initiative means the worker should be ready to grasp every opportunity to display his outstanding ability.In addition; a worker should make clear the nature and significance of the work he does; be responsible for whatever he is doing and plunge himself into the work with vigorous enthusiasm. If he can do so; he will find a job no longer a burden but an indispensable part of his life.

新世纪⼤学英语(第⼆版)综合教程第4册Unit7Electronic Teaching PortfolioBook FourUnit Seven: Reading and ReflectionPart I Get StartedSection A Discussion▇Sit in pairs or groups and discuss the following questions.1Why do you think we need to read?2What do you prefer to read — poems, novels or plays?3What role do you think literary works play in our lives?▆Answers for reference:1Hints:●Reading broadens our horizons.●Reading enriches our knowledge.●Reading puts us in contact with the best minds of human history.●Reading enriches our experience.●Reading empowers us with knowledge.●Reading improves our character and taste.●Reading is a good pastime.2Some hints:a)Different people read literature for different reasons and purposes because of their differentbackgrounds, tastes, experiences and educational background.b)Those who prefer reading novels may think novels are more interesting and easier to read probablybecause novels usually have plots. They can take readers to other places and times, real or imaginary, allowing them to meet people and experience life in many different ways. A good novel makes readers think, laugh, cry or wonder.3Reference:Literary works play an important role in our life. They can broaden our horizons. They help us experience a kind of life which we cannot have in real life. They help us see the things which we tend to ignore in our daily life. They can also help us escape from reality.Section B Quotes▇Study the following quotes about reading and reflection and discuss in pairs what you can learn from them.Francis Bacon⊙Some books are to be tasted; others to be swallowed; and some few to be chewed and digested.— Francis Bacon Interpretation:There are different ways of reading books. To taste a book, one can read it in a state of relaxation. To swallow a book one can glide his eyes across the lines of a book. To chew or digest a book one should read it actively. And when he has finished reading a book, the pages are filled with his notes. Only when good books are chewed and digested can they have a lasting influence on one’s life.About Francis Bacon (1561-1626): an English politician, philosopher, and writer. Francis Bacon graduated from Trinity College, Cambridge. He was the founder of English materialist philosophy, as well as of modern science in England. He is especially famous for his Essays, in which his practical wisdom is shown through his reflections and comments on rather abstract subjects.Benjamin Franklin◎Reading makes a full man, meditation a profound man, discourse a clear man.— Benjamin FranklinInterpretation:Reading broadens our horizons, molds our temperament and enlightens our minds. Reading provides us with the possibility of opening ourselves up to the world, which helps us to become learned and knowledgeable persons. Thinking deeply helpsus gain an insight into human life. Having scholarly conversations with others helps us become wiser.About Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790): a US politician, writer, and scientist. He was involved in writing two historically significant documents, the Declaration of Independence (《独⽴宣⾔》) and the Constitution of the United States (《美国宪法》). He is famous for proving that lightning is a form of electricity by doing a scientific test in which he flew a kite during a storm, and he invented the lightning conductor. He is also well known for his literary works such as Poor Richard’s Almanac (《穷理查德年鉴》1732-1757;亦译作《格⾔历书》、《穷理查历书》) and Autobiography (《⾃传》1790).Denis Parsons Burkitt◎It is better to read a little and ponder a lot than to read a lot and ponder a little.— Denis Parsons BurkittInterpretation:What really counts is not how many books we have read but whether we spend time thinking over what we have read. So we should read selectively and reflectively.About Denis Parsons Burkitt (1911–1993): an accomplished British surgeon. His major contribution to medical science was the description, distribution, and ultimately, the etiology (病因学;病源论) of apediatric (⼩⼉科的) cancer that bears his name Burkitt’s lymphoma (伯基特⽒淋巴瘤).Louisa May Alcott◎Good books, like good friends, are few and chosen; the more select, the more enjoyable.— Louisa May AlcottInterpretation:Books and friends should be few but good. We should be highly selective in reading books, and our greatest pleasure in reading comes from the best books.About Louisa May Alcott (1832–1888): an American novelist best known as author of the novel Little Women (《⼩妇⼈》). Section C Watching and Discussion▇Watch the following video clip “Reading Really Matters” and do the tasks that follow.Introduction of the video:Dana Gioia, Chairman of the National Endowment for the Arts, is talking about arts education.First he mentions a problem in the United States: People are reading less and employers are facing a serious problem that their new employees can’t read and can’t write.According to Dana Gioia, those people who read do exercise more and do more volunteering charity work.Then he comes to talk about how reading actually matters to a person.1 Now fill in the note form according to what you hear.Topic: Reading Awakens Something inside the Reader1) reading increases your sense of your own personal destiny.2) reading makes the lives of other people more real to you.In summary, reading makes you understand that other people have an inner life as complicated as your own.Reading builds a society with not only imaginative capability, intellectual capability, but compassion, and humanity.2Discuss the following questions.Do you agree that Chinese people are reading less?Do you think modern technology has influenced the way people read?Open.▇Script:Americans are reading less. Because they read less, they read less well. Because they read less well, they do less well in the educational system. We are in the process in the United States of producing the first generation in our history that’s less well-educated than their parents. Now, I mean, to me, this is, you know a…an abandonment of the whole American misroutes of self improvement. Because they do less well in school, they do less well in the job market and economically. The number one problems for new employers in the United States: new employees can’t read, new employees can’t write. And in fact, for those people who can’t even read above the basic level, 55% of those people end up unemployed.And even on a further level, they overwhelmingly are like, you know, are more likely to end up in the criminal justice system. Only 3% of the people in U.S. prisons read at a proficiency level. Because they read less well, you know, because in a sense they don’t develop these things, they are a lso less likely to be engaged in personal positive behavior however you wanna measure it.We can measure it many different ways. You would not think it, but it is overwhelmingly demonstrable: that people that read exercise more; people that read join, play sports more. They belong to civic organizations more. They do volunteering charity work nearly 4 times the level of non-readers.Well, when I saw these data, I said, well, wait. We have to be measuring something else. W e’re measuring income, and we’re measuring education. If you take the poorest people in the United States who read, they do volunteering charity work at twice the level of people who don’t read. So what does it say to us? It says something we know, each of us knows this: when you read, when you’re engaged in the arts, it awakens something inside of you. That does two things: the first is that it increases your sense of your own personal destiny. But, secondly, it makes the lives of other people more real to you. It creates a heightened sense of yourself as an individual, but it also brings you, maybe, especially when you’re reading novels or imagin ing the literature in which you follow the stories, the lives of the people in the dailiness of their existence, socially, economically. Maybe understanding, a man understanding how a woman thinks, and a man understanding how a man thinks, a person understanding how somebody from a different country, from a different race thinks and feels. This imaginative exercises, this meditative exercise, makes you understand that other people have an inner life as complicated as your own. And so, if you have a society, in which tens of millions of people guided by pleasure no less, undertake these types of contemplations and meditations, you have a society which builds… not only it’s imaginative capability, it’s intellectual capability, b ut it’s compassion, and it’s humanity.Part II Listen and RespondSection B Task One: Focusing on the Main Ideas▇Choose the best answer to each of the following questions according to the information contained in the listening passage. 1What does the speaker mean by efficient reading or reading efficiently?A)Reading a book for pleasure.B)Writing between lines while reading.C)Remembering the author’s thoughts.D)Scanning a book for facts.2What is the advantage of marking up a book according to the speaker?A)Marking up a book helps readers take in the brilliant ideas in the book.B)Marking up a book enables readers to know what they read.C)Marking up a book makes readers feel like the owner of the book.D)Marking up a book makes readers conscious of the fact that they are reading actively.3What is the true sense of owning a book?A)Marking it through active reading.B)Purchasing it with one’s own money.C)Writing one’s name on it.D)Understanding every word in it.4How do people read books for pleasure?A)They read them consciously.B)They read them in a state of relaxation.C)They read them passively.D)They read them actively.5How do people know they have read actively when they finish reading a book?A)They establish a relationship with the author.B)They gain possession of the book.C)The pages are full of their notes.D)Their spoken language has been improved.▇Key:1) B 2) D 3) A 4) B 5) CSection C Task Two: Zooming In on the Details▇Listen to the recording again and fill in each of the blanks according to what you have heard.Why is mar king up a book indispensable to reading it?

I want to persuade you to do something equally important in the course of your reading, that is: ―write between the lines‖. Unless you do, you are not likely to do the most efficient kind of reading. I contend that marking up a book is an act of love.There are two ways in which one can own a book. The first is the property right you establish by paying for it, just as you pay for clothes and furniture. But this act of purchase is only the prelude to possession. Full ownership comes only when you have made it a part of yourself, and the best way to make yourself a part of it is by writing in it.Why is mar king up a book indispensable to reading? First, it keeps you awake. And I don’t mean merely conscious; I meanwide awake. In the second place, reading, if it is active, is thinking, and thinking tends to express itself in words, spoken or written. The marked book is usually the thought-through book. Finally, writing helps you remember the thoughts you had, or the thoughts the author expressed.If reading i s to accomplish anything more than passing time, it must be active. You can’t let your eyes glide across the lines of a book and come up with an understanding of what you have read. The books you read for pleasure can be read in a state of relaxation and nothing is lost. But a great book, rich in ideas and beauty, a book that raises and tries to answer fundamental questions, demands the most active reading. When you’ve finished reading a book, and the pages are filled with your notes, you know that you read actively.Part III Read and ExploreText ASection A Discovering the Main IdeasExercise 1 Answer the following questions with the information contained in Text A.1What is the difference between the lives of those who read and those who do not?2Can reading newspapers be categorized as reading? Why or why not?3What is the art of reading according to the author?4What does the author think of ―the taste for reading‖?5Can people benefit from reading the same books at different ages? Why or why not?▇Answers for reference:1According to the author, those who do not read are just like prisoners confined to their immediate world in respect to time and space. Their life falls into a set of routines and they see only what happens in their immediate neighbourhood with few friends and acquaintances to communicate with. In contrast, those who read have the privilege to escape temporarily from the present world and enter a different country ora different age as soon as they pick up a book. Good books put them in touch with the best minds inhistory and they are always carried away into a world of thought and reflection. Books broaden their horizons and their life is never a set of dull routines.2According to the author, reading newspapers does not belong to the category of reading because the average reader of a newspaper is mainly concerned with getting reports about events and happenings without contemplative value. The best reading does not merely offer a report of events, but is able to lead readers into a contemplative mood.3According to the author, only reading with the object of enriching one’s charm and flavor can be called an art. The charm here is not related to one’s physical appearance, but one’s inner aura of elegance which canonly be acquired through reading. And flavor here refers to the flavor in speech, and its cultivation entirely depends on one’s way of reading.4The author thinks that taste is the key to all reading and is individual and selective. Each person has his own taste in the kinds of books he enjoys reading. Forcing one to read books that he dislikes will achieve no positive results.5Yes. People can benefit from reading the same book at different ages and get different flavors out of it.According to the author, people at different ages should read different kinds of books and good books can be read more than once at different ages.Exercise 2 Text A can be divided into four parts with the paragraph number(s) of each part provided as follows. Write down the main idea of each part.Section B In-depth StudyIn the following text, Lin Yutang, the Chinese writer, translator, linguist and inventor, shares with us his insight into reading as an art. He not only addresses such questions as why to read, what to read, and when to read, but also convinces us of the beauty and benefits of reading as an art.The Art of ReadingLin Yutang1 Reading or the enjoyment of books has always been regarded among the charms of a cultured life and is respected and envied by those who rarely give themselves that privilege. This is easy to understand when we compare the difference between the life of a man who does no reading and that of a man who does.2 The man who has not the habit of reading is imprisoned in his immediate world, in respect to time and space. His life falls into a set routine; he is limited to contact and conversation with a few friends and acquaintances, and he sees only what happens in his immediate neighborhood. From this prison there is no escape. But the moment he takes up a book, he immediately enters a different world, and if it is a good book, he is immediately put in touch with one of the best talkers of the world. This talker leads him on and carries him into a different country or a different age, or unburdens to him some of his personal regrets, or discusses with him some special line or aspect of life that the reader knows nothing about. An ancient author puts him in communion with a dead spirit of long ago, and as he reads along, he begins to imagine what that ancient author looked like and what type of person he was. Both Mencius and Ssema Ch’ien have expressed the same idea. Now to be able to live two hours out of twelv e in a different world and take one’s thoughts off the claims of the immediate present is, of course, a privilege to be envied by people shut up in their bodily prison.3 Such a change of environment is really similar to travel in its psychological effect. But there is more to it than this. The reader is always carried away into a world of thought and reflection. Even if it is a book about physical events, there is a difference between seeing such events in person or living through them, and reading about them in books, for then the events always assume the quality of a spectacle and the reader becomes a detached spectator. The best reading is therefore that which leads us into this contemplative mood, and not that which is merely occupied with the report of events. The tremendous amount of time spent on newspapers I regard as not reading at all, for the average readers of papers are mainly concerned with getting reports about events and happenings without contemplative value.4 The best formula for the object of reading, in my opinion, was stated by Huang Shanku, a Sung poet. He said, ―A scholar who hasn’t read anything for three days feels that his talk has no flavor, and his own face becomes hateful to look at.‖ What he means, of course, is that reading g ives a man a certain charm and flavor, which is the entire object of reading, and onlyreading with this object can be called an art. One doesn’t read to ―improve one’s mind,‖ because when one begins to think of improving his mind, all the pleasure of read ing is gone. He is the type of person who says to himself: ―I must read Shakespeare, and I must read Sophocles, and I must read the entire Five Foot Shelf of Dr. Eliot, so I can become an educated man.‖ I’m sure that man will never become educated. He will force himself one evening to read Shakespeare’s Hamlet and come away, as if from a bad dream, with no greater benefit than that he is able to say that he has ―read‖Hamlet. Anyone who reads a book with a sense of obligation does not understand the art of reading.5 Reading for the cultivation of personal charm of appearance and flavor in speech is then, according to Huang, the only admissible kind of reading. This charm of appearance must evidently be interpreted as something other than physical beauty. W hat Huang means by ―hateful to look at‖ is not physical ugliness. As for flavor of speech, it all depends on one’s way of reading. Whether one has ―flavor‖ or not in his talk, depends on his method of reading. If a reader gets the flavor of books, he will show that flavor in his conversations, and if he has flavor in his conversations, he cannot help also having a flavor in his writing.6 Hence I consider flavor or taste as the key to all reading. It necessarily follows that taste is selective and individual, like the taste for food. The most hygienic way of eating is, after all, eating what one likes, for then one is sure of his digestion. In reading as in eating, what is one man’s meat may be another’s poison. A teacher cannot force his pupils to like what he likes in reading, and a parent cannot expect his children to have the same tastes as himself. And if the reader has no taste for what he reads, all the time is wasted.7 There can be, therefore, no books that one absolutely must read. For our intellectual interests grow like a tree or flow like a river. So long as there is proper sap, the tree will grow anyhow, and so long as there is fresh current from the spring, the water will flow. When water strikes a cliff, it just goes around it; when it finds itself in a pleasant low valley, it stops and meanders there a while; when it finds itself in a deep mountain pond, it is content to stay there; when it finds itself traveling over rapids, it hurries forward. Thus, without any effort or determined aim, it is sure of reaching the sea some day. There are no books in this world that everybody must read, but only books that a person must read at a certain time in a given place under given circumstances and at a given period of his life. I rather think that reading, like matrimony, is determined by fate or yinyuan. Even if there is a certain book that every one must read, there is a time for it. When one’s thoughts and experience have not reached a certain point for reading a masterpiece, the masterpiece will leave only a badflavor on his palate. Confucius said, ―When one is fifty, one may read the Book of Changes,‖ which means that one should not read it at forty-five. The extremely mild flavor of Confucius’ own sayings in The Analects and his mature wisdom cannot be appreciated until one becomes mature himself.8 Furthermore, the same reader reading the same book at different periods gets a different flavor out of it. For instance, we enjoy a book more after we have had a personal talk with the author himself, or even after having seen a picture of his face, and one gets again a different flavor sometimes after one has broken off friendship with the author. A person gets a kind of flavor from reading the Book of Changes at forty, and gets another kind of flavor reading it at fifty, after he has seen more changes in life. Therefore, all good books can be read with profit and renewed pleasure a second time.9 Reading, therefore, is an act consisting of two sides, the author and the reader. The net gain comes as much from the reader’s contribution through his own insight and experience as from the author’s own. I regard the discovery of one’s favorite author as the most critical event in one’s intellectual development. There is such a thing as the affinity of spirits, and among the authors of ancient and modern times, one must try to find an author whose spirit is akin with his own. Only in this way can one get any real good out of reading.▇课⽂参考译⽂读书的艺术林语堂1 读书或书籍的享受素来被视为有修养的⽣活上的⼀种雅事,⽽在⼀些不⼤有机会享受这种权利的⼈们看来,这是⼀种值得尊重和妒忌的事。

I should say that I am highly motivated to master English. First of all, learning English is useful, as it is becoming a world language and people from different countries often communicate with one another in English. If I am good at English, it will be much easier for me to communicate with them. Secondly, I like traveling a lot. A good mastery of English will make things much easier for me when traveling around the world. Finally, I like literature a lot. If I am very good at English, I can read great works by Shakespeare and Dickens and many other English writers instead of reading the translated versions. (118 words)Why I hate to learn EnglishI have learned English for about seven years. I should say the more I learn English, the more I hate it. First of all, learning English is boring. I have to memorize many new words or rely on a dictionary to frequently check unknown words. Doing so wastes a lot of my precious time.Secondly, I don't understand why we have to learn a foreign language. I don't want to go abroad and I can always find a job that doesn't need English in China. Finally, I can always read translated versions of the books I want to read. So, if I don't have to learn English, I would rather use the time I spend on English to do things I like. (121 words)。

In addition, he should have initiative and creativity.

The third reason is related to my occupational attitude. I always believe that school teachers all over the world are respected for their profound knowledge and higher social status.

新世纪大学英语1--Unit 7课文详解
Interpersonal skills should be considered very important both at school and at work. Good interpersonal skills enhance relationships with fellow students or colleagues and help build a pleasant environment for all to work in. Conversely, poor interpersonal skills can often lead to coldness and even hostility between one another and may lead to inefficiency in study or at work.
2. Experts tend to resort to the term “generation gap” to explain the conflicts between parents and children. Can this term be applied to the cases mentioned above? Though there might be room for hesitation in the adoption of it when “generation” is taken into account, it is far from wrong to borrow the rest in making an analysis. There are bound to be differences, or gaps, in the opinions of two people that give rise to conflicts, and ways to reduce them are by no means easy to be sought, but it is equally true to say that there is bound to be a solution to every problem. Part of the solution to human conflicts is to avoid misunderstanding. 每当父母和孩子之间发生冲突的时候,专家们往 往会用“代沟”这一术语来解释。那么这个术语能否用于上面提到 的情况呢?当然,如果细究“代”的本义,那么这算不上特别贴切, 但是大可借用该术语的其他涵义来分析问题。两个人的观点之所以 会引起纷争,肯定因为存在分歧,而要设法减少分歧又谈何容易! 但是我们也同样可以说,每个问题肯定都会有办法解决。人际冲突 的部分解决办法是避免误解。

street with a light heart, i was suddenly overtaken by a startling moan. turning around, i discovered the sound was coming from a black mass in a corner. “what?s that?” my heart pounded heavily. i went up and saw a human being, alive but in a dreadful state. he was crouching on the ground with deformed hands and legs, mumbling something. he had obviously lost the normal ability to move and work. a dirty plate was placed in front the miserable-looking man, in which there were some coins and small notes.as my eyes were drifting away from him, his eyes caught mine suddenly. what eyes they were! filled with misery and expectation, they were looking straight at me. he was unable to speak, but i seemed to hear his pleading voice and read his despairing mind. his look seemed to be telling me about his hard life and his longing for help. for a while, i was at a loss what to do. should i drop some coins in the plate like some other passers-by or turn away in indifference? i recalled news reports about men pretending to be beggars, who were actually healthy and able to work. could this be another one of those scams? but the beggar was there, groaning and living. then something seemed to hit me hard. i drew a five-yuan notefrom my pocket, dropped it in his dirty plate and walked away quickly in silence.“no good deed is too small.” maybe we need to bear thissaying in mind.▆sample
