In the last few years -- in one-millionth the lifetime of our species on this planet -- we have achieved an extraordinary technological capability which enables us to seek outunimaginably distant civilizations even if they are no more advanced than we. That capability is called radio astronomy and involves single radio telescopes, collections or arrays of radio telescopes, sensitive radio detectors, advanced computers for processing received date, and the imagination and skill of dedicated scientists. Radio astronomy has in the last decade opened a new window on the physical universe. It may also, if we are wise enough to make the effort, cast a profound light on the biologicaluniverse.

The standard research report, regardless of the field or the intended reader, contains four major sections. These sections may be broken down into a variety of subsections, and they may be arranged in a variety of ways, but they regularly make up the core of the report.
Results Section. The third, and perhaps most important, section of the research report is the presentation of the results obtained from the investigation. The basic rule in this section is to give all data relevant to the research question initially asked. Although, of course, one's natural tendency might be to suppress any findings which do not in some way support one's hypothesis, such dishonesty is antithetical to good research reporting in any field. If the experiments undertaken fail to prove anything, if the data was inadequate or contrary to expectations, the report should be honestly written and as complete as possible, just as it would be if the hypothesis were totally proven by the research.

大学英语精读第四册作文参考答案汇总
大学英语精读第四册作文参考答案汇总大学英语精读第三版(上海外语教育出版社董亚芬主编)第四册Book4Unit1~Unit10 作文参考答案Unit 1Kid 1:The pay is too low. We workers will get five dollars each. And both of you will collect hundreds. That isn't fair.Kid 2: Five dollars per hour. Otherwise, we'll quit.Boss 1: Geez, that's too much. What do you take us for?Boss 2: Millionaires, huh?Kid 2: Millionaire or no millionaire, we don't care. What we care about is you ought to pay us reasonably.Boss 1: You know, besides your wages, we have to pay for the gasoline and buy gifts for our neighbors who have helped us a lot as you must have seen. That'll be a lot of money.Kid 3: We don't intend to put you in an awkward position. But we do deserve more. Boss 1: How about, say, one dollar and a half per hour?Kid 3: Three dollars.Boss 2: (shakes his head) No. Kids (almost in chorus) Two dollars, no less. Bosses (nod to each other) Done！Unit 2The modern world gets most of its energy needs from coal, oil and natural gas. These sources have one thing in common: once they have been taken from the depths of the earth, they can never be replaced. Naturally, their reserves tend to be on the decrease. However, as economies develop, the world demand for energy is growing enormously day by day. It is quite obvious, therefore, that we are threatened with the approach of energy crisis. What, then, can we do to prevent energy crisis? The answer lies partly in practicing conservation of resources. Large amounts of energy are being wasted in all sections of the modern society so that the present major energy sources will be used up much sooner than expected. If we heighten our awareness of the urgent need to conserve energy, however, we will be able to make the sources last a lot longer. Of course, conservation is not the perfect solution to the energy problem. Eventually, sources like coal and oil will be exhausted. But there are many other energy sources that can be used in place of them, such as nuclear power, wind energy and solar energy. Scientists are now doing their best to develop new sources of energy, which is our hope for the future. We are convinced that so long as both solutions are applied, energy crisis can be prevented.Unit 3Why Should We Attach Importance to Both Theory and Practice?It is generally accepted that theory is based on practice. Galileo, for example, based his studies of natural laws on experimentation and observation. It was by observationthat he proved the theory that the sun is the center of the solar system. Likewise, Comrade Deng Xiaoping's theory concerning the building of socialism with distinctive Chinese features has been established on the basis of revolutionary practice in China today. Beyond doubt, there can be no scientific theory without practice. It is also certain that theory, in turn, serves practice. For instance, astronomers apply theories about the heavenly bodies to foretell eclipses and suchlike. Another case in point is, again, Comrade Deng Xiaoping's theory, which guides the Chinese people on their way to building a prosperous and powerful socialist society. Practice without theory as its guide is like a ship sailing into a port without a pilot. The consequences can be disastrous. In view of the above, we can safely conclude that it is highly important to combine theory with practice in our work. We must never ignore one in favor of the other.Unit 4How to Win the War against TerrorismFew can doubt the harm terrorism produces. News of death and suffering caused by terrorist attacks on innocent people going about their everyday lives is far too common. What can bring one human to behave with such cruelty towards another? Some terrorists may claim that the injustice their group has suffered is so great that any means are justified. They may argue that those stronger than them have used force against their people and that terror is the only weapon left to the weak. Yet such arguments only lead to the ruin of more innocent lives. Two wrongs do not make a right. What can be done to solve the problem? One tactic must be better protection through increased security, making attacks easier to uncover and prevent. Another is to attack the root cause of terrorism, the sources of injustice that fuel its support. Neither task is easy.Unit 5May 8, 1998Dear Sir,I am writing in response to your advertisement in today's Guangming Daily. I wish very much to be considered for the position referred to. I feel that I am competent to perform the duties outlined in your advertisement, for my education and experience are both in line with the requirements of the job you offer. I am twenty-five years of age, and a graduate of Fudan University with a bachelor's degree in business administration. Since my graduation in 1996, I have held a job as a salesman in a trade company, where my performance is highly appreciated. Now I would like to move on to a position that requires more individual responsibility. Your advertisement indicates to me that the job opening in your company is exactly what I am looking for. It is the kind of challenge I'd like to meet. If you feel that I might be qualified for the post, I should welcome an interview any time at your convenience. Enclosed you will find my résumé and a recent photo of myself.Yours faithfully,Zhang HuapingUnit6How to Improve Your Reading ComprehensionAs our studying is mostly done through reading, it is self-evident that we should endeavour to improve our reading comprehension. The best way you can become a good reader is through practice. You cannot read a few paragraphs just once in a while and become a fluent reader. You need to read constantly. It is advisable to carry something to read with you wherever you go. Whenever you have the chance, take it out and read a paragraph or two. Once you have made reading a habit, your reading is bound to benefit. To improve your reading comprehension, you also need to develop certain reading skills. For example, a poor reader tends to move his eyes from word to word whereas an efficient reader will move his eyes from thought group to thought group. To pick up speed and fluency, therefore, you should learn to read in thought groups. Mastering such reading techniques is the key to effective reading.Unit 7Sam went to the cinema the other night, but he didn't enjoy it. Entering the cinema, Sam thought of taking off his coat. But the cinema turned out to be very cold and he had to keep his coat on. As there wasn't much space between the rows, his legs began to ache shortly after he took his seat. Worse still, he found it difficult to breathe easily. Looking about, he saw a lot of people were smoking. At last the film started. To his annoyance, the person in front was wearing such a big hat that he could hardly see the screen. To top it all, people all around him made a lot of noise, some telling jokes, others laughing loudly, not to mention a child crying out with pleasure. Needless to say, Sam missed most of the dialogue. He couldn't bear to sit out the rest of the film and went out of the cinema into the cold night in a fury.Unit 8Effects of Technological Advance on HumankindTechnology has brought immense benefits to humankind. Take a look around and you'll find examples too numerous to list. Electric appliances like microwave ovens have rendered our home life much easier and more enjoyable. Also, if you wish to travel to another city or country, the airplane will take you there within a matter of hours. What's more important, the use of advanced technology has made possible enormous increases in our food production capacity, enabling the world's fast-growing population to maintain at least an acceptable standard of living. On the other hand, however, technology has created problems that may threaten human existence. A major hazard is pollution. Indisputably, we have little chance to survive while the land, water and atmosphere are seriously polluted. Furthermore, technology can expose mankind to such threats as a nuclear war. Confronted with the two sets of consequences, we must keep a clear head. Personally, it is important to realize that without technological advance there can be no further progress for human civilization. At the same time, because of the associated hazards, the use of technology must be subjected to careful planning and firm social control.Unit 9As early as I was a high school student I decided to dedicate myself to medical science. This important decision in my life had a great deal to do with my uncle's sudden death. It was like this: One day when I came home from school I was shocked to hear my aunt crying with deep grief. Upon inquiry I learned that my uncle, who had been ill with hypertension for years, died of cerebral haemorrhage that very afternoon. While mourning my uncle's passing I recalled that hypertension was also the root cause of my grandfather's death and my father was afflicted with the same illness. Obviously it is mostly a hereditary disease, able to be passed on through the genes of a parent to a child. So there is a chance I may suffer from it too. As time went on, I uncovered more about hypertension. For one thing, at present it is impossible to effect a permanent cure of the disease. For another, it causes thousands upon thousands of deaths every year. It became clear to me that we got to find ways to make the incurable disease curable and save millions of lives. A likely victim of the disease, I made up my mind that one day I would join hands with the scientists in trying to solve this knotty medical problem.Unit10True Happiness and Hard WorkSome people think that health is essential to happiness. Others believe wealth makes them happy. Still others of a strong intellectual turn of mind look upon wisdom as the source of happiness. In a way, they all have a point. However, health, wealth and wisdom are not gifts dropped from the heaven, but rewards of your own efforts. For instance, you have to work very hard in order to earn your share of money. Indeed, it is work that helps make us healthy, wealthy and wise. True happiness, to my mind, comes first and last from hard work. We derive great satisfaction from our work also because work constitutes a contribution to the modernization effort. As masters of our country, we feel duty bound to do our bit for socialist construction and take pride in the fact that our joint efforts are bringing prosperity to our motherland. And then again, we are eager to become more knowledgeable about and efficient in our lines of work.

Book 4-Unit 5Text AThe TelephoneAnwar F. Accawi1.When I was growing up in Magdaluna, a small Lebanese village in theterraced, rocky mountains east of Sidon, time didn't mean much toanybody, except maybe to those whowere dying. In those days, there was no real need for a calendar or awatch to keep track of the hours, days, months, and years. We knewwhat to do and when to do it, just as the Iraqi geese knew when to flynorth, driven by the hot wind that blew in from the desert. The onlytimepiece we had need of then was the sun. It rose and set, and theseasons rolled by and we sowed seed and harvested and ate and playedand married our cousins and had babies who got whooping cough andchickenpox—and those children who survived grew up and marriedtheir cousins and had babies who got whooping cough and chickenpox.We lived and loved and toiled and died without ever needing to knowwhat year it was, or even the timeof day.2.It wasn't that we had no system for keeping track of time and of the importantevents in ourlives. But ours was a natural or, rather, a divine — calendar, because itwas framed by acts of God: earthquakes and droughts and floods andlocusts and pestilences. Simple as our calendar was, it worked just finefor us.3.Take, for example, the birth date of Teta Im Khalil, the oldestwoman in Magdaluna and all the surrounding villages. When Iasked Grandma, "How old is Teta Im Khalil?"4.Grandma had to think for a moment; then she said, "I've been toldthat Teta was born shortly after the big snow that caused the roof onthe mayor's house to cave in."5."And when was that?" I asked.6."Oh, about the time we had the big earthquake that cracked the wall in the eastroom."7.Well, that was enough for me. You couldn't be more accurate than that, now,could you?8.And that's the way it was in our little village for as far back as anybodycould remember. One of the most unusual of the dates was when awhirlwind struck during which fish and oranges fell from the sky.Incredible as it may sound, the story of the fish and oranges was true,because men who would not lie even to save their own souls told andretold that story untilit was incorporated into Magdaluna's calendar.9.The year of the fish-bearing whirlpool was not the last remarkable year.Many others followed in which strange and wonderful things happened.There was, for instance, the yearof the drought, when the heavens were shut for months and the springfrom which the entire village got its drinking water slowed to a trickle.The spring was about a mile from the village, in a ravine that opened atone end into a small, flat clearing covered with fine gray dust and hard,marble-sized goat droppings. In the year of the drought, that littleclearingwas always packed full of noisy kids with big brown eyes and stickyhands, and their mothers —sinewy, overworked young women withcracked, brown heels. The children ran around playing tag or hide-and-seek while the women talked, shooed flies, and awaited their turns to fillup their jars with drinking water to bring home to their napping menand wet babies. There were days when we had to wait from sunup untillate afternoon just to fill a small clay jar with precious, cool water.10.S ometimes, amid the long wait and the heat and the flies and the smellof goat dung, tempers flared, and the younger women, anxious abouttheir babies, argued over whose turnit was to fill up her jar. And sometimes the arguments escalated intofull-blown, knockdown-dragout fights; the women would grab eachother by the hair and curse and scream and spit and call each othernames that made my ears tingle. We little brown boys who went withour mothers to fetch water loved these fights, because we got to see thewomen's legs and their colored panties as they grappled and rolledaround in the dust. Oncein a while, we got lucky and saw much more, because some of thewomen wore nothing at all under their long dresses. God, how I usedto look forward to those fights. I remember the rush, the excitement,the sun dancing on the dust clouds as a dress ripped and a youngwhite breast was revealed, then quickly hidden. In my calendar, thatyear of drought will always be one of the best years of my childhood.11.B ut, in another way, the year of the drought was also one of the worstof my life, because that was the year that Abu Raja, the retired cook,decided it was time Magdaluna got its own telephone. Every civilizedvillage needed a telephone, he said, and Magdaluna was not going toget anywhere until it had one. A telephone would link us with theoutside world. A fewmen—like the retired Turkish-army drill sergeant, and the vineyard keeper —did all they couldto talk Abu Raja out of having a telephone brought to the village. But they were outshoutedand ignored and finally shunned by the other villagers for resisting progress and trying tokeep a good thing from coming to Magdaluna.12. O ne warm day in early fall, many of the villagers were out in theirfields repairing walls or gathering wood for the winter when the shoutwent out that the telephone-company truckhad arrived at Abu Raja's dikkan, or country store. When the truckcame into view, everybody dropped what they were doing and ran toAbu Raja's house to see what was happening.13.I t did not take long for the whole village to assemble at Abu Raja'sdikkan. Some of the rich villagers walked right into the store andstood at the elbows of the two important-lookingmen from the telephone company, who proceeded with utmost gravity, like priests atCommunion, to wire up the telephone. The poorer villagers stoodoutside and listened carefully to the details relayed to them by the not-so-poor people who stood in the doorway and could see inside.14."The bald man is cutting the blue wire," someone said.15."He is sticking the wire into the hole in the bottom of the black box," someoneelse added.16."The telephone man with the mustache is connecting two pieces ofwire. Now he is twisting the ends together," a third voice chimed in.17.B ecause I was small, I wriggled my way through the dense forest oflegs to get a firsthand look at the action. Breathless, I watched asthe men in blue put together a black machinethat supposedly would make it possible to talk with uncles, aunts, andcousins who lived more than two days' ride away.18.I t was shortly after sunset when the man with the mustache announced thatthe telephonewas ready to use. He explained that all Abu Raja had to do was lift thereceiver, turn the crank on the black box a few times, and wait for anoperator to take his call. Abu Raja grabbed the receiver and turned thecrank forcefully. Within moments, he was talking withhis brother in Beirut. He didn't even have to raise his voice or shout to be heard.19.A nd the telephone, as it turned out, was bad news. With its coming, the face ofthe villagebegan to change. One of the fast effects was the shifting of the village'scenter. Before the telephone's arrival, the men of the village used togather regularly at the house of Im Kaleem, a short, middle-aged widowwith jet-black hair and a raspy voice that could be heard all over thevillage, even when she was only whispering. She was a devout Catholicand also the village whore. The men met at her house to argue aboutpolitics and drink coffee and play cards or backgammon. Im Kaleemwas not a true prostitute, however, because she did not charge for herservices —not even for the coffee and tea that she served the men. Shedid not need the money; her son, who was overseas in Africa, sent hermoney regularly. Im Kaleem loved all the men she entertained, and theyloved her, every one of them. In a way, she was married to all the menin the village. Everybody knew it but nobody objected. Actually I suspect the women did not mind their husbands'visits to Im Kaleem. Oh, theywrung their hands and complained to one another about their men'sunfaithfulness, but secretly they were relieved, because Im Kaleem tooksome of the pressure off them and kept the men outof their hair while they attended to their endless chores. Im Kaleem wasalso a kind of confessor and troubleshooter, talking sense to those menwho were having family problems, especially the younger ones.20.B efore the telephone came to Magdaluna, Im Kaleem's house was bustling atjust about anytime of day, especially at night, when the loud voices of the men talking, laughing, and arguing could be heard in the street below —a reassuring, homey sound. Her house was an island of comfort, an oasis for theweary village men, exhausted from having so little to do.21.B ut it wasn't long before many of those men —the younger onesespecially—started spending more of their days and evenings at AbuRaja's dikkan. There, they would eat and drink and talk and playcheckers and backgammon, and then lean their chairs back against thewall —the signal that they were ready to toss back and forth, like a ball,the latest rumors going around the village. And they were alwayslooking up from their games and drinks and talk to glance at the phonein the corner, as if expecting it to ring any minute and bring news thatwould change their lives and deliver them from their aimless existence.In the meantime,they smoked cheap, hand-rolled cigarettes, dug dirt out from undertheir fingernails with big pocketknives, and drank lukewarm sodasthat they called Kacula, Seffen-Ub, and Bebsi.22. T he telephone was also bad news for me personally. It took away mylucrative business —a source of much-needed income. Before, I used tohang around Im Kaleem's courtyard and play marbles with the otherkids, waiting for some man to call down from a window and askme to run to the store for cigarettes or liquor, or to deliver a message to his wife, such aswhat he wanted for supper. There was always something in it for me: aten or even a twenty-five-piaster piece. On a good day, I ran nine or tenof those errands, which assured a steady supply of marbles that Iusually lost to other boys. But as the days went by fewer and fewer mencame to Im Kaleem's, and more and more congregated at Abu Raja's towait bythe telephone. In the evenings, the laughter and noise of the mentrailed off and finally stopped.23.A t Abu Raja's dikkan, the calls did eventually come, as expected, andmen and women started leaving the village the way a hailstorm begins:first one, then two, then bunches.24.T he army took them. Jobs in the cities lured them. And ships andairplanes carried them to such faraway places as Australia and Braziland New Zealand. My friend Kameel, his cousin Habeeb, and theircousins and my cousins all went away to become ditch diggers andmechanics and butcher-shop boys and deli owners who wore dirtyaprons sixteen hours a day, all looking for a better life than the onethey had left behind. Within a year, only the sick, the old, and themaimed were left in the village. Magdaluna became a skeleton of itsformer self, desolate and forsaken, like the tombs, a place to get away from.25.F inally, the telephone took my family away, too. My father got a callfrom an old army buddy who told him that an oil company in southern Lebanon was hiring interpreters and instructors. My father applied for a job and got it, and we moved to Sidon, where I went to aPresbyterian missionary school and graduated in 1962. Three yearslater, having won a scholarship, I left Lebanon for the United States.Like the others who left Magdaluna before me, I am still looking for that better life. (2121 words)。

大学英语精读第一册Unit6：SamAdams,IndustrialEngineer
Unit Six : Sam Adams，Industrial EngineerSan set out to improve efficiency at the shirt factory but, as we find out later in this unit, his plans turned out not quite as he had expected.Sam Adams, Industrial EngineerIf you ask my mother how I happened to become an industrial engineer, she'll tell you that I have always been one.She means that I have always wanted everything to be well organized and neat. When I was still in elementary school, I liked to keep my socks in the upper left-hand drawer of my bureau, my underwear in the upper right drawer, shirts in the middle drawer, and pants, neatly folded, in the bottom drawer.In fact, I was the efficiency expert for the whole family. I used to organize my father's tools, my mother's kitchen utensils, my sister's boyfriends.I needed to be efficient. I wanted to be well organized. For me, there was a place for everything and everything was always in its place. These qualities gave me a good foundation for a career in industrial engineering.Unfortunately, I was also a bit bossy and I wasn't a very good listener. You'll see what I mean when I tell you about the first project I ever did after I finished my bachelor's degree at the university.After graduation I returned home to my small town in Indiana. I didn't have a job yet. Mr. Hobbs, a friend of my father's, owned a small shirt factory in town. Within the past five years it had grown from twenty to eighty workers. Mr. Hobbs was worried that his plant was getting too big and inefficient, so he asked me to come in on a short-term basis as a consultant.I went to the plant and spent about a week looking around and making notes. I was really amazed at what I saw.Most curious of all, there was no quality control whatsoever. No one inspected the final product of the factory. As a result some of the shirts that were put in boxes for shipment were missing one or two buttons, the collar, even a sleeve sometimes! The working conditions were poor. The tables where the workers sat were very high and uncomfortable. Except for a half hour at lunchtime, there were no breaks in the day to relieve the boring work. There was no music. The walls of the workrooms were a dull gray color. I was amazed that the workers hadn't gone on strike.Furthermore, the work flow was irregular. There was one especially absent-minded young man in the assembly line who sewed on buttons. After a while I recognized him as "Big Jim," who used to sit behind me in math class in high school. He was very slow and all the shifts were held up at his position. Workers beyond him in line on his shift had to wait with nothing to do; therefore, a great deal of time and efficiency were lost as Big Jim daydreamed while he worked. All week I wondered why he wasn't fired.After I made observations for a week, Mr. Hobbs asked me for an oral report of my findings. I covered my major points by telling him the following:"If you have a quality control inspection, you will greatly improve your finished product.""If the assembly line is redesigned, a smooth work flow can be achieved and time and energy can be saved.""If you decrease the height of the worktables, the machine operators will work more comfortably.""If the management provides pleasant background music and beautifies the dull setting, the factory will be much more productive.""If the workers have a fifteen-minute coffee break in the morning and afternoon, they will be more efficient.""If excellent work results in frequent pay increases or promotions, the workers will have greater incentive to produce."Mr. Hobbs thanked me for this report and told me he would talk over my suggestions with his brother, the co-owner and manager of the factory. "We're interested in progress here," he said. "We want to keep up with the times."He also gave me a check for $ 100 and a box of shirts with his compliments.NEW WORDSefficiencyn. the state or quality of being efficient 效率industriala. of industry ⼯业的neata. orderly and clean 整洁的elementarya. of or for beginners 初等的，初级的sockn. 短袜drawern. 抽屉bureaun. a chest of drawers for bedroom use ⾐柜n. 内⾐pantsn. trousersexpertn. a person with special knowledge or skill 专家，能⼿kitchenn. room used for cooking 厨房utensiln. any tool or container used in the house, esp. for cooking ⽤具，器⽫qualityn. the degree of goodness which a thing or a person possesses 质量；品质foundationn. 基础careern. profession; way of making a living 职业；⽣涯engineeringn. ⼯程学；管理unfortunatelyad. 不幸的是；遗憾的是bossya. always telling other people what to do and how to do it, like a boss 爱指挥⼈的；专横的projectn. a piece of work; a big plan 项⽬；⽅案bachelorn. a person who had the first university degree 学⼠graduationn. completion of an educational course 毕业graduatevi.short-terma. involving or lasting a short period of time 短期的basis n. 基础；根据consultantn. a person who gives professional or technical advice 顾问consultv.amazevt. fill with great surprise or wonder 使⼤为惊讶，使惊愕curiousa. strange 奇怪的whatsoevera. of any kind, at all 任何的，丝毫的inspectvt. examine 检查shipmentn. the act of wending, carrying or delivering goods 装运。

He didn't even have to raise his voice or shout to be heard.27.28.And the telephone, as it turned out, was bad news. With its coming, the face of the villagebegan to change. One of the fast effects was the shifting of the village's center. Before the telephone's arrival, the men of the village used to gather regularly at the house of Im Kaleem,a short, middle-aged widow with jet-black hair and a raspy voice that could be heard all overthe village, even when she was only whispering. She was a devout Catholic and also the village whore. The men met at her house to argue about politics and drink coffee and play cards or backgammon. Im Kaleem was not a true prostitute, however, because she did not charge for her services—not even for the coffee and tea that she served the men. She did not need the money; her son, who was overseas in Africa, sent her money regularly. Im Kaleem loved all the men she entertained, and they loved her, every one of them. In a way, she was married to all the men in the village. Everybody knew it but nobody objected. Actually I suspect the women did not mind their husbands'visits to Im Kaleem. Oh, they wrung their hands and complained to one another about their men's unfaithfulness, but secretly they were relieved, because Im Kaleem took some of the pressure off them and kept the men out of their hair while they attended to their endless chores. Im Kaleem was also a kind of confessor and troubleshooter, talking sense to those men who were having family problems, especially the younger ones.29.Before the telephone came to Magdaluna, Im Kaleem's house was bustling at just about anytime of day, especially at night, when the loud voices of the men talking, laughing, and arguing could be heard in the street below—a reassuring, homey sound. Her house was an island of comfort, an oasis for the weary village men, exhausted from having so little to do.30.31.But it wasn't long before many of those men—the younger ones especially—startedspending more of their days and evenings at Abu Raja's dikkan. There, they would eat and drink and talk and play checkers and backgammon, and then lean their chairs back against the wall—the signal that they were ready to toss back and forth, like a ball, the latest rumors going around the village. And they were always looking up from their games and drinks and talk to glance at the phone in the corner, as if expecting it to ring any minute and bring news that would change their lives and deliver them from their aimless existence. In the meantime, they smoked cheap, hand-rolled cigarettes, dug dirt out from under their fingernails with big pocketknives, and drank lukewarm sodas that they called Kacula, Seffen-Ub, and Bebsi.32.The telephone was also bad news for me personally. It took away my lucrative business—asource of much-needed income. Before, I used to hang around Im Kaleem's courtyard and play marbles with the other kids, waiting for some man to call down from a window and ask me to run to the store for cigarettes or liquor, or to deliver a message to his wife, such as what he wanted for supper. There was always something in it for me: a ten or even atwenty-five-piaster piece. On a good day, I ran nine or ten of those errands, which assured a steady supply of marbles that I usually lost to other boys. But as the days went by fewer and fewer men came to Im Kaleem's, and more and more congregated at Abu Raja's to wait by the telephone. In the evenings, the laughter and noise of the men trailed off and finally stopped.33.At Abu Raja's dikkan, the calls did eventually come, as expected, and men and womenstarted leaving the village the way a hailstorm begins: first one, then two, then bunches. 34.The army took them. Jobs in the cities lured them. And ships and airplanes carried them tosuch faraway places as Australia and Brazil and New Zealand. My friend Kameel, his cousin Habeeb, and their cousins and my cousins all went away to become ditch diggers and mechanics and butcher-shop boys and deli owners who wore dirty aprons sixteen hours a day, all looking for a better life than the one they had left behind. Within a year, only the sick, the old, and the maimed were left in the village. Magdaluna became a skeleton of its former self, desolate and forsaken, like the tombs, a place to get away from.35.Finally, the telephone took my family away, too. My father got a call from an old army buddywho told him that an oil company in southern Lebanon was hiring interpreters and instructors. My father applied for a job and got it, and we moved to Sidon, where I went to a Presbyterian missionary school and graduated in 1962. Three years later, having won a scholarship, I left Lebanon for the United States. Like the others who left Magdaluna before me, I am still looking for that better life. (2121 words)36.。

（完整版）现代⼤学英语精读Book4Unit6课⽂Book 4-Unit 5Text AThe TelephoneAnwar F. Accawi1.When I was growing up in Magdaluna, a small Lebanese village in theterraced, rocky mountains east of Sidon, time didn't mean much toanybody, except maybe to those whowere dying. In those days, there was no real need for a calendar or awatch to keep track of the hours, days, months, and years. We knewwhat to do and when to do it, just as the Iraqi geese knew when to flynorth, driven by the hot wind that blew in from the desert. The onlytimepiece we had need of then was the sun. It rose and set, and theseasons rolled by and we sowed seed and harvested and ate and playedand married our cousins and had babies who got whooping cough andchickenpox—and those children who survived grew up and marriedtheir cousins and had babies who got whooping cough and chickenpox.We lived and loved and toiled and died without ever needing to knowwhat year it was, or even the timeof day.2.It wasn't that we had no system for keeping track of time and of the importantevents in ourlives. But ours was a natural or, rather, a divine — calendar, because itwas framed by acts of God: earthquakes and droughts and floods andlocusts and pestilences. Simple as our calendar was, it worked just finefor us.3.Take, for example, the birth date of Teta Im Khalil, the oldestwoman in Magdaluna and all the surrounding villages. When Iasked Grandma, "How old is Teta Im Khalil?"4.Grandma had to think for a moment; then she said, "I've been toldthat Teta was born shortly after the big snow that caused the roof onthe mayor's house to cave in."5."And when was that?" I asked.6."Oh, about the time we had the big earthquake that cracked the wall in the eastroom."7.Well, that was enough for me. You couldn't be more accurate than that, now, could you?8.And that's the way it was in our little village for as far back as anybody could remember. One of the most unusual of the dates was when a whirlwind struck during which fish and oranges fell from the sky.Incredible as it may sound, the story of the fish and oranges was true, because men who would not lie even to save their own souls told andretold that story untilit was incorporated into Magdaluna's calendar.9.The year of the fish-bearing whirlpool was not the last remarkable year. Many others followed in which strange and wonderful things happened. There was, for instance, the yearof the drought, when the heavens were shut for months and the springfrom which the entire village got its drinking water slowed to a trickle.The spring was about a mile from the village, in a ravine that opened atone end into a small, flat clearing covered with fine gray dust and hard, marble-sized goat droppings. In the year of the drought, that littleclearingwas always packed full of noisy kids with big brown eyes and sticky hands, and their mothers —sinewy, overworked young women with cracked, brown heels. The children ran around playing tag or hide-and-seek while the women talked, shooed flies, and awaited their turns to fillup their jars with drinking water to bring home to their napping menand wet babies. There were days when we had to wait from sunup untillate afternoon just to fill a small clay jar with precious, cool water.10.S ometimes, amid the long wait and the heat and the flies and the smellof goat dung, tempers flared, and the younger women, anxious abouttheir babies, argued over whose turnit was to fill up her jar. And sometimes the arguments escalated intofull-blown, knockdown-dragout fights; the women would grab eachother by the hair and curse and scream and spit and call each othernames that made my ears tingle. We little brown boys who went withour mothers to fetch water loved these fights, because we got to see the women's legs and their colored panties as they grappled and rolledaround in the dust. Oncein a while, we got lucky and saw much more, because some of thewomen wore nothing at all under their long dresses. God, how I usedto look forward to those fights. I remember the rush, the excitement,the sun dancing on the dust clouds as a dress ripped and a youngwhite breast was revealed, then quickly hidden. In my calendar, thatyear of drought will always be one of the best years of my childhood.11.B ut, in another way, the year of the drought was also one of the worstof my life, because that was the year that Abu Raja, the retired cook,decided it was time Magdaluna got its own telephone. Every civilizedvillage needed a telephone, he said, and Magdaluna was not going toget anywhere until it had one. A telephone would link us with theoutside world. A fewmen—like the retired Turkish-army drill sergeant, and the vineyard keeper —did all they could to talk Abu Raja out of having a telephone brought to the village. But they were outshouted and ignored and finally shunned by the other villagers for resisting progress and trying to keep a good thing from coming to Magdaluna.12. O ne warm day in early fall, many of the villagers were out in theirfields repairing walls or gathering wood for the winter when the shoutwent out that the telephone-company truckhad arrived at Abu Raja's dikkan, or country store. When the truckcame into view, everybody dropped what they were doing and ran toAbu Raja's house to see what was happening.13.I t did not take long for the whole village to assemble at Abu Raja'sdikkan. Some of the rich villagers walked right into the store andstood at the elbows of the two important-lookingmen from the telephone company, who proceeded with utmost gravity, like priests at Communion, to wire up the telephone. The poorer villagers stoodoutside and listened carefully to the details relayed to them by the not-so-poor people who stood in the doorway and could see inside.14."The bald man is cutting the blue wire," someone said.15."He is sticking the wire into the hole in the bottom of the black box," someoneelse added.16."The telephone man with the mustache is connecting two pieces ofwire. Now he is twisting the ends together," a third voice chimed in.17.B ecause I was small, I wriggled my way through the dense forest oflegs to get a firsthand look at the action. Breathless, I watched asthe men in blue put together a black machinethat supposedly would make it possible to talk with uncles, aunts, andcousins who lived more than two days' ride away.18.I t was shortly after sunset when the man with the mustache announced thatthe telephonewas ready to use. He explained that all Abu Raja had to do was lift thereceiver, turn the crank on the black box a few times, and wait for anoperator to take his call. Abu Raja grabbed the receiver and turned thecrank forcefully. Within moments, he was talking withhis brother in Beirut. He didn't even have to raise his voice or shout to be heard.19.A nd the telephone, as it turned out, was bad news. With its coming, the face ofthe villagebegan to change. One of the fast effects was the shifting of the village'scenter. Before the telephone's arrival, the men of the village used togather regularly at the house of Im Kaleem, a short, middle-aged widowwith jet-black hair and a raspy voice that could be heard all over thevillage, even when she was only whispering.

This happened for many complex reasons having to do with (与……有关系)the sexual revolution, the effects of the women’s movement on the family, the dying off（相继死亡）of the generation scarred by the Great Depression （大萧条）of the 1930s, a growing disillusionment with（对……的幻想破灭）the ability of our institutions to deliver the goods, the failure of the economy to live up to（满足）people’s expectations of a steady annual increase in income, a questioning of whether the values of a consumption economy are worth the hard work that pays for all the luxuries, an awareness that energy shortages and environmental hazards call for （需要） a new orientation, and a further evolution of individualism into the quest for less conforming personal life-styles.Simply put（简单地说）, a New Breed of Americans have come to feel that success is not enough to satisfy their yearnings for self-fulfillment. They are reaching out for（伸手要，寻求）something more and for something different.I estimate that, at the present time, the New Breed, those who feel that their aspirations for self-fulfillment can no longer be wholly satisfied through conventional success, constitute a majority of the American people (approximately 52 percent).Not surprisingly, the younger, better educated, and more affluent parts of the population are disproportionately represented in the New Breed,while the older, poorer, less well-educated parts of the population cling more tenaciously to the old value system and to traditional symbols.改错：In recent years unpaid housework has suffered a severe loss in social status. For women today being “just a housewife” is a poor means of maintain (改为maintaining)self-esteem. For women, exclusive confinement to the unpaid work of housekeeper and mother somehow implies being cut(加off) from the full possibilities of self-fulfillment. A paid job has become a badge of membership in the larger society and an almost indispensable symbolic(改为symbol)of self-worth. It is also a practical means of achieving autonomy and independence. The woman with a paid job, how(改为however) poorly paid it may be, feels that she no longer has to the total(改为totally)dependent on the will and whim of a man. No longer is she too(删去) obliged, because she is trapped in a status of total dependency, to stay with a satisfactory(改为an unsatisfactory)marriage. Divorce rates have shot up because divorce is now a practical option for millions of women. They now have, or can acquire the “price of admission”to independence in our society—a pay (改为paid)job. This does not mean that only women are choosing divorce and are solely responsible to (改为for) high divorce rates; many womendo not choose divorce because they are able to find work, and （改为but）find work because they are forced to support themselves after men leave to “fulfill themselves”.翻译：1.起初，我打算先准备生物课的考试，而后再做论文，但后来决定还是将做的顺序倒过来为好。
