Write a short storyabout Stevie from your perspective.Read the following newspaper clipping and write a short essay on the question:Should We Offer Seats to Elderly People on the Bus during Rush Hours? ▆Sample Essay for Task 1:We all knew Stevie was mentally handicapped, so everyone, especially our bosshimself, doubted whether he would be a capable busboy in thetruck-stop restaurantwhere I worked as the head waitress. However, our worries were gradually removedone week later. Smiling and hard-working, Stevie won over all our trucker regulars aswell as us employees.Later we learnt that Stevie badly needed the job because the money he earnedmade it possible for his mother and him to live together; otherwise he would be sentto a group home.

The blogger also argues that it isunfair to offer seats to the elderly since they already enjoy free rides,suggests that during rush hours senior citizens be denied such treatment.Respecting the elderly is also our social convention. It is precisely out of our loveand respect for the elderly that such special benefits as free rides are offered to them.No one can deprive senior citizens of their right to go out by bus at any time they like,and what's more, we should make sure that they get special care when the bus isfully packed with passengers.Caring for the elderly and being taken care of can be a mutually satisfyingexperience for everyone involved.

Based on Text A, write a passage about the different ways different generations handle male-female relationships. The following hints may be of somehelp.1) “our”parents' generation (details mainly found in Para. 8);2) “my”generation (details mainly found in Paras. 3–7);3) the younger generation (details mainly found in Paras. 9–11).2. Study the following data on love and marriage based on a survey with girlstudents. Write a passage on the topic “What do girl students look for in love andlife?”▆Sample Essay One:Male-female relations are indispensable to adults all through their lives. Butdifferent generations handle them differently. Our parents' generation lived in an eraof constraints, restraints, respect, admiration, and plenty of romance. They kept adistance from people of the opposite gender in order to preserve the holiness of loveand relationships.13 / 28My generation, on the other hand, began with countless crushes for the opposite sex just because of their superficial charm. Harmless as they were, the lovewas as brief as soap bubbles. As we grew up, we came to the stage of developing realrelationships, believing that love demanded a lot of give and not so much of take.In short, the younger generation focuses more on physical beauty, closeness andpassion, and they tend to seek what they want from the relationships. The other twogenerations give priority to inner charm, intimacy, emotion and sharing in dealingwith relationships.

The survey soughtanswers to two questions: What do you look for first in a boyfriend? What's the mostimportant thing for a happy life?As to their views about a happy life, nearly seventy percent of the girls attachedthe greatest importance to marriage and family. “Career”was given top priority byjust under 20 percent, while even fewer, around 9 percent, believed that money wasthe key to a happy life.Based on the survey, we may conclude that nowadays, girl students generallyhold a rational attitude towards love and life. Admittedly, the improved materialconditions of life explain why girls take economic status and money rather lightly. Butcontrary to the popular view that girls are more concerned aboutself-developmentin the workplace and social status, they still regard marriage and family life as centralto a happy life.

Before you know it, your fingers will be flying and your online learning adventure will have begun.Read and ExploreTask One Discovering the Main Ideas1 Answer the following questions with the information contained in Text A.1) What disaster did the author encounter earlier in his career?He encountered a student who challenged the curriculum which required a pharmacy student to study literature.2) What are the differences between the certificate that reads Qualified Pill-Grinding Technician and the one that reads Bachelor of Science? The former means that the graduate has completed the training of professional skills in pharmacy while the latter, besides professional training, also involves education in the ideas mankind has generated within its history.3) How did the author communicate the significance of studying the literal arts in college to the pharmacy student?He explained to the student that the time of a person’s life could be divided into three parts: one is for sleep, the second is for work which involves professional skills, and the third part is for life after work in which education in liberal arts —philosophy, arts, music, literature, history, etc. — plays a vital part.4) What is the business of college education according to the author? The business of college education is not merely to train students, but to civilize them with the best human thoughts in history. In other words the author draws a clear distinction between training and education. The former provides one with skills for a job or career while the latter enables one to become a civilized person by coming into contact with the best minds in history.5) How can a person become civilized according to the text?A person has to enter the past and familiarize himself/herself with both the technical and spiritual resources created by mankind, so that he/she could become civilized and play his/her role in civilization.6) What does the author think of the mission undertaken by the faculties of a university? How can they accomplish this mission?The faculties of liberal arts colleges as well as of specialized schools are entrusted with the mission to put students in close contact with the best human minds in history. They should turn themselves into some sort of storehouse of human experience and try their best to communicate that experience to their students, so that their students will become civilized humans instead of savages who only know how to operate machines or push buttons.2 Text A can be divided into three parts with the paragraph number(s) of each part provided as follows. Write down the main idea of each part. Part Paragraph(s) Main IdeaOne 1–7 In response to the challenge posed by a particular student who merely intends to pursue skills at college and takes no interest in literature, the author draws a distinction between professional training and college education. The former can only provide students with professional skills while the latter enables students to become civilized humans. Hence the importance of liberal arts education at college.Two 8–10 College education must enable students to come into contact with the best minds in history, so that they can become civilized and useful human beings instead of new species of savages who only know how to operate machines or push buttons. Three 11 College education must target at enabling students to become both specialists and civilized humans. All college teachers must make themselves some sort of storehouse of human experience and try their best to communicate that experience to their students.Task Two Reading Between the LinesRead the following sentences carefully and discuss in pairs what the author intends to say by the italicised parts.1) Will there be a book in the house? Will there be a painting a reasonably sensitive man can look at without shuddering? (Para. 5)Do you have a cultivated mind to know what books your family should read? And do you know what kind of paintings you should put up on the wall that would not offend a cultured eye?2) “I hope you make a lot of it,” I told him, “because you’re going to be badly stuck for something to do when you’re not signing checks.” (Para. 7)I hope you will make a lot of money, but I’m sure you’ll be at a loss what to do when you are not signing checks. In other words, you can have a lot of money, but you may not live a meaningful and fulfilling life.3) You are on the way to being new species of mechanized savage, the Pushbutton Neanderthal. (Para. 8)Not getting in touch with what the best human minds have thought, you are going to be uncivilized humans or a new type of savages who can only operate machines by pushing buttons.4) Our colleges inevitably graduate a number of such life forms, but it cannot be said that they went to college; rather, the college went through them — without making contact. (Para. 8)A number of our college graduates have indeed turned out to be “new species of mechanized savage”. This only means that they have not received a college education though they have spent some time there, for they have failed to make contact with the best human minds in history.5) If you are too much in a hurry, or too arrogantly proud of your own limitations, to accept as a gift to your humanity some pieces of the minds of Sophocles, of Aristotle, of Chaucer — and right down the scale and down the ages to Yeats, Einstein, . White, and Ogden Nash —then you may be protected by the laws governing manslaughter, and you may be a voting entity, but you are neither a developed human being nor a useful citizen of a democracy. (Para. 10)Even if you are too busy or feel complacent and, therefore, refuse to come into contact with the best human minds within history, you can still be protected by law and enjoy the right to democratic voting. But you can never be considered as an educated, civilized person; nor can you be accepted by society as a useful citizen in a democratic nation.Checking Your VocabularyWord Detective1 Put down the right word from Text B in the space provided according to the given definition.

(means or right of using, reaching, or obtaining: Para. 8)6) Don’t worry about your son’s shyness; it’s just a phase he’s going through.(a stage of development: Para. 10)Checking Your Comprehension1 Answer the following questions with the information contained in Text B.1) On what should the role of education be based in the 21st century? The role of education in the 21st century should be based on the hope for a world that is a better place to live in.2) What are some of the problems in the 21st century that humankind should overcome in order to make the world a better place to live in?We have to overcome the tensions between the global and the local, between tradition and modernity, between long-term and short-term considerations, between the need for competition and the concern for equality of opportunity and between the spiritual and the material so as to make the world a better place to live in.3) In what way can we learn to live together?We can learn to live together by understanding others and their history, traditions and spiritual values, implementing common projects and managing the inevitable conflicts in an intelligent and peaceful way.4) Is the idea of being a multi-subject specialist feasible? Why or why not?No. Because there are so many different types of knowledge; any attempt to know everything would be an illusion.5) What’s the fundamental function of general education?General education provides the passport to lifelong education. It enables people to learn other languages and become familiar with other subjects. It also arouses people’s interest in learning and thus lays the foundation for lifelong education.6) Besides learning to do a job in industrial economies, what other competence do people need to acquire?People also need to acquire the competence to cope with various situations and cooperate with others in teams.7) How can pupils and students acquire the competence to work in teams? To develop team skills, students should be provided with opportunities to involve themselves in work experience while they are still in education.8) What is the aim of “learning to be”? How can the aim be achieved? The aim of “learning to be” is the compl ete fulfillment of man. All people should receive an education that would equip them to develop an independent, critical way of thinking and exercising judgment.9) As far as education is concerned, what society should we build in the 21st century?We should build a learning society based on the acquisition, renewal and use of knowledge.2 Read the following sentences carefully and discuss in pairs what the author intends to say in the following sentences.1) This is precisely the case where education policies are concerned. (Para. 2)The solution to any serious problem involves much consideration, cooperation and negotiation. It is exactly the same with educational policies, which can only be worked out through lots of discussions and negotiations.2) Since knowledge is of multiple nature, any attempt to know everything becomes more and more pointless. (Para. 5)There are so many different kinds of knowledge that it is increasingly meaningless and impossible to train students into specialists in all fields.3) The future of industrial economies hinges on their ability to turn advances in knowledge into innovations that will generate new businesses and new jobs. (Para. 6)The future of industrial economies depends critically on their ability to turn the development in knowledge into creative ideas, new methods or inventions. With creativity, new businesses and new jobs will be created.4) None of the talents which are hidden like buried treasure in every person must be left untapped. (Para. 7)The education one receives, which begins at birth and continues all through one’s life, should help develop and put into full play one’s potentials and talents.Enhance Your Language AwarenessWords in ActionWorking with Words and Expressions1 In the boxes below are some of the words you have learned in this unit.

Warming up 3 I do not know what I may appear to the world; but to myself I seem to have been only like a boy playing on the seashore, and diverting myself in now and then finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shell than ordinary, whilst the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me. Sir Isaac Newton, 17th-century English physicist and mathematician, who discovered the laws of gravity Newton is acclaimed as a great genius who has opened up understanding of nature, but he humbly points out how very little he does actually know especially when compared with all that there is to know. Newton was very religious as well as a great mathematician so he would have been referring to great mysteries as well as understanding of the cosmos.
a 1 Murphy’s Law is _____. (a) a popular belief (b) a scientific law (c) a classical theory (d) a statistical calculation

At the very minimum , you should be able to send and receive email comfortably, search the Internet, and type reasonably fast and accurately .3) Perhaps the best way to find the right online course format is to consider your education needs and learning style .4) Type into the search engines the key words and you can easily get what you want. Before you know it, your fingers will be flying and your online learning adventure will have begun.Read and ExploreTask One Discovering the Main Ideas1 Answer the following questions with the information contained in Text A.1) What disaster did the author encounter earlier in his career?He encountered a student who challenged the curriculum which required a pharmacy student to study literature.2) What are the differences between the certificate that reads Qualified Pill-Grinding Technician and the one that reads Bachelor of Science?The former means that the graduate has completed the training of professional skills in pharmacy while the latter, besides professional training, also involves education in the ideas mankind has generated within its history.3) How did the author communicate the significance of studying the literal arts in college to the pharmacy student?He explained to the student that the time of a person’s life could be divided into three parts: one is for sleep, the second is for work which involves professional skills, and the third part is for life after work in which education in liberal arts — philosophy, arts, music, literature, history, etc. — plays a vital part.4) What is the business of college education according to the author?The business of college education is not merely to train students, but to civilize them with the best human thoughts in history. In other words the author draws a clear distinction between training and education. The former provides one with skills for a job or career while the latter enables one to become a civilized person by coming into contact with the best minds in history.5) How can a person become civilized according to the text?A person has to enter the past and familiarize himself/herself with both the technical and spiritual resources created by mankind, so that he/she could become civilized and play his/her role in civilization.6) What does the author think of the mission undertaken by the faculties of a university? How can they accomplish this mission?The faculties of liberal arts colleges as well as of specialized schools are entrusted with the mission to put students in close contact with the best human minds in history. They should turn themselves into some sort of storehouse of human experience and try their best to communicate that experience to their students, so that their students will become civilized humans instead of savages who only know how to operate machines or push buttons.2 Text A can be divided into three parts with the paragraph number(s) of each part provided as follows. Write down the main idea of each part.Part Paragraph(s) Main IdeaOne 1–7 In response to the challenge posed by a particular student who merely intends to pursue skills at college and takes no interest in literature, the author draws a distinction between professional training and college education. The former can only provide students with professional skills while the latter enables students to become civilized humans. Hence the importance of liberal arts education at college. ?Two 8–10 College education must enable students to come into contact with the best minds in history, so that they canbecome civilized and useful human beings instead of new species of savages who only know how to operate machines or push buttons. Three 11 College education must target at enabling students to become both specialists and civilized humans. All college teachers must make themselves some sort of storehouse of human experience and try their best to communicate that experience to their students.Task Two Reading Between the LinesRead the following sentences carefully and discuss in pairs what the author intends to say by the italicised parts.1) Will there be a book in the house? Will there be a paintinga reasonably sensitive man can look at without shuddering? (Para.5)Do you have a cultivated mind to know what books your family should read? And do you know what kind of paintings you should put up on the wall that would not offend a cultured eye?2) “I hope you make a lot of it,” I told him, “because you’re going to be badly stuck for something to do when you’re not signing checks.” (Para. 7)I hope you will make a lot of money, but I’m sure you’ll be at a loss what to do when you are not signing checks. In other words, you can have a lot of money, but you may not live a meaningful and fulfilling life.3) You are on the way to being new species of mechanized savage, the Pushbutton Neanderthal. (Para. 8)Not getting in touch with what the best human minds have thought, you are going to be uncivilized humans or a new typeof savages who can only operate machines by pushing buttons.4) Our colleges inevitably graduate a number of such life forms, but it cannot be said that they went to college; rather, the college went through them — without making contact. (Para. 8)A number of our college graduates have indeed turned out to be “new species of mechanized savage”. This only means that they have not received a college education though they have spent some time there, for they have failed to make contact with the best human minds in history.5) If you are too much in a hurry, or too arrogantly proud of your own limitations, to accept as a gift to your humanity some pieces of the minds of Sophocles, of Aristotle, of Chaucer — and right down the scale and down the ages to Yeats, Einstein, E.B. White, and Ogden Nash —then you may be protected by the laws governing manslaughter, and you may be a voting entity, but you are neither a developed human being nor a useful citizen of a democracy. (Para. 10)Even if you are too busy or feel complacent and, therefore, refuse to come into contact with the best human minds within history, you can still be protected by law and enjoy the right to democratic voting. But you can never be considered as an educated, civilized person; nor can you be accepted by society as a useful citizen in a democratic nation.Checking Your VocabularyWord Detective1 Put down the right word from Text B in the space provided according to the given definition. The first letter of each word is already given.Example:g lobal: of or concerning the whole world1) c ombine: join together; unite2) i mplement: carry out or put into practice3) i llusion: a false idea, esp. about oneself4) i ndispensable: too important or too useful to be without5) i ntelligence: (good) ability to learn, reason, and understand6) e mphasis: special force or attention given to sth. to show that it is particularly important7) r econcile: find agreement between (two ideas, situations, etc., that seem to be in opposition)8) n egotiate: talk with another person or group in order to try to come to an agreement or settle an argument2 Fill in each blank with a word or phrase from Text B.

And in accordance with her will (遗嘱), she was buried in France.(in a way that fulfils or agrees with: Para. 2)4) The details of this programme are dealt with in depthelsewhere in this book.

Why or why not?No. Because there are so many different types of knowledge; any attempt to know everything would be an illusion.5) What’s the fundamental function of general education?General education provides the passport to lifelong education. It enables people to learn other languages and become familiar with other subjects. It also arouses people’s interest in learning and thus lays the foundation for lifelong education.6) Besides learning to do a job in industrial economies, what other competence do people need to acquire?People also need to acquire the competence to cope with various situations and cooperate with others in teams.7) How can pupils and students acquire the competence to work in teams?To develop team skills, students should be provided with opportunities to involve themselves in work experience while they are still in education.8) What is the aim of “learning to be”? How can the aim be achieved?The aim of “learning to be” is the c omplete fulfillment of man. All people should receive an education that would equip them to develop an independent, critical way of thinking and exercising judgment.9) As far as education is concerned, what society should we build in the 21st century?We should build a learning society based on the acquisition, renewal and use of knowledge.2 Read the following sentences carefully and discuss in pairs what the author intends to say in the following sentences.1) This is precisely the case where education policies areconcerned. (Para. 2)The solution to any serious problem involves much consideration, cooperation and negotiation. It is exactly the same with educational policies, which can only be worked out through lots of discussions and negotiations.2) Since knowledge is of multiple nature, any attempt to know everything becomes more and more pointless. (Para. 5) There are so many different kinds of knowledge that it is increasingly meaningless and impossible to train students into specialists in all fields.3) The future of industrial economies hinges on their ability to turn advances in knowledge into innovations that will generate new businesses and new jobs. (Para. 6)The future of industrial economies depends critically on their ability to turn the development in knowledge into creative ideas, new methods or inventions. With creativity, new businesses and new jobs will be created.4) None of the talents which are hidden like buried treasure in every person must be left untapped. (Para. 7)The education one receives, which begins at birth and continues all through one’s life, should help develop and put into full play one’s potentials and talents.Enhance Your Language AwarenessWords in ActionWorking with Words and Expressions1 In the boxes below are some of the words you have learned in this unit.

新标准大学英语_综合教程3_课后答案unit 7

新标准大学英语_综合教程3_课后答案unit7 Unit7Active reading(1)Can bad luck be explained?Language points1Part of the explanation for bad luck is mathematical, but part is psychological.(Para2)The sentence means bad luck is not only a matter of the odds for or against something happening,but ofour memories and attitudes.2This popular notion would be unlikely to stand the scrutiny of any scientific study…otherwise the phrase would never have arisen in the first place.(Para 3)To stand the scrutiny of any scientific study means to survive any scientific examination.The expression in the first place is used to mean what someone did or should have done at the start of a situation,eg I wish I’d never got involved i n the first place.3So badness is much better represented as being on a spectrum rather than something which is thereor not there.(Para5)The sentence means that badness is not an either/or quality,but a matter of degree,and it exists on a continuum.4When it comes to bad things happening in threes,what may be most important of all is the durationand memorability of the first event.(Para7)The sentence means that the impact of the first unpleasant event and the length of time we remember it isthe critical factor in the origin of the common idea that three bad events often occur together.Unit7The secret life of science2305The timescale has been extended as long as is necessary to confirm the original prophecy.(Para8)The idea behind the sentence is that after one bad event, people predict two more and will wait a long timeif necessary for them to happen and so to prove the prediction.6But it is more likely that a friend will tell you“three bad things havehappened to me,isn’t thatty pical”than“only two bad things have happened to me, which just proves that the theory doesn’twork”.(Para9)Some times after the second bad event,nothing happens for a long time.We could tell people that ourexperience shows that the idea that bad luck comes in threes is wrong.But we do not.That seems to beasking for a third piece of bad luck to come along.Instead we wait for the third event and then say the oldtheory has been proved yet again.7It is related to probability and independence.(Para10) Probability means how events are connected to one another, how probable it is something will happen.Independence refers to how much interdependence there is between events.8One of the best examples of selective memory…(Para16)A selective memory means remembering only some facts or only what we want to.We select somememories and reject others.Reading and understanding2Choose the best way to complete the sentences.1Murphy’s Law is(a).(a)a popular belief(b)a scientific law(c)a classical theory(d)a statistical calculation2Bad luck(b).(a)can be explained by science(b)can be partly blamed on strange coincidences(c)only really exists in people’s minds(d)is impossible to explain3“Bad luck”is a problematic concept because(a).(a)it is relative;some things are more“bad”than others(b)it suggests a connection between science and morality(c)luck is never good or bad by definition(d)it encourages people not to take responsibility for their own actions4Unlucky events seem to come in threes because(b).(a)three is an unlucky number in most cultures(b)the mind wants to make connections between events(c)we don’t notice single unlucky events(d)we can’t remember more than three connected events The secret life of science Unit72315For some people,unlucky events are connected because (d).(a)they are psychologically weaker than other people(b)they have better memories than other people(c)they define bad luck differently from other people(d)the first unlucky event has an effect on them which makes the second event more likely6The writer says map reading is a frustrating experience because(a).(a)the destination will often be marked very near the edge of the map(b)it is difficult to consult a street atlas while you’re in a car(c)the destination is unlikely to be marked in the middle of the map(d)modern road maps have not been well designed7The writer says we believe that traffic lights are always re d when we’re ina hurry because(b).(a)traffic lights spend more time on red than green(b)we hardly notice when the lights are green(c)red lights are a source of stress(d)red lights appear more often when a driver is in a hurry 8The examples of map reading and traffic lights both show that(a).(a)we are often too ready to interpret a neutral event as“bad”(b)if we are in a hurry,something bad will usually happen(c)journeys need to be carefully planned to avoid things going wrong(d)bad luck is a direct result of stress and anxiety Dealing with unfamiliar words3Match the words in the box with their definitions.1something harmful or unpleasant that happens to someone (misfortune)2neither positive nor negative(neutral)3relating to or involving mathematics(mathematical)4weak or easy to hurt physically or mentally(vulnerable) 5happening or coming after something else(subsequent) 6the number of times that something happens during a period of time(frequency)4Complete the sentences with the correct form of the words in Activity 3.1Some people seem to blame all their misfortunes on badluck.2Many people would argue that there is no such thing as bad luck;all events are neutral.3The frequency with which things seem to go wrong may depend on things like health factors.4Is it a mathematical certainty that toast will always fall butter side down?5We need to help the most vulnerable people in our society. 6If you’re depressed,and one thing goes wron g,all

The false part of the perception is that red lights happen more than green lights.The reason for this is simply that a driver has more time to think about ared light than a green light,because while the latter is gone in seconds–and indeed is an experience no different from just driving along the open road–the red light forces a change of behaviour,a momentof exertion and stress,and then a deprivation of freedom for a minute or so.Red lights stick in the mind,while green lights are instantly forgotten.(The falsepart of the perception直译为“认知中错误的部分”不妥,应译成“错觉”。

Bonded together in a community, we naturally expect to have friends. As to what friendship is, people have different notions / ideas. Some make friends for mutual utility. Once the ground for such friendship disappears, the friendship also breaks up. However, a lot more people long for "soul pals"— those who possess virtues and with whom we can go through trials and tribulations together. Such friendships keep us away from greed and violence and encourage us to have the courage of our convictions. Such is what we call "true and perfect friendship".1. Bob and I became brother-like friends in our childhood. We played, dined and discussed our ambitions together. Once grown up, he started for the West to make his fortune while I became a policeman in New York. Before his departure, we had dinner together and we agreed that we would meet at the same place exactly twenty years from that date and time, no matter what our conditions might be or from what distance we might have tocome.Then came 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 for half an hour. Jimmy will keep his promise if he’s alive…” I then sent fora plain clothes man and had Bob arrested.2.An Important Friend in My LifeLi Qiang, one of my classmates, is fun to be with. He is always wearing a broad smile as if life is forever "sunshine and butterflies". One day, I revealed to him my worries andanxieties:I, an ordinary-looking girl, was 177 centimeters tall, even taller than any of the boys in my class. I thought no boy would like to date me. Besides, I was very poor at my academic courses.He suggested that I should learn to be myself and then he introduced me to a fashion show team of the university. Encouraged, I decided to change myself. After a 3-month training program on weekends, I could perform beautifully as a model, and surprisingly, I could concentrate on the required academic courses as well. The applauses I won at each fashion show and the scholarship I earned proved that being myself was terrific. Since then, my life has changed a lot. Thus, Li Qiang became an important friend of mine.Last semester, we began to help young people who suffer pressures from physical defects, academic failures or financial problems. We set up a Confidence Club. Those who come to us for help find our work definitely beneficial. Our friendship has led me into a sparkling, rewarding life.Unit Two Love(1)1. curled2. minimum3. clip4. yielded5.

Love takes time, for it is not forged until you have grown usedto the other’s company and learned to appreciate the other. (2)After dinner, we all sat around the hearth. Aunt Susan was still in the grief of losing Uncle Robert. In her soft voice she told us about their past years. Uncle Robert joined the army shortly afterthey were engaged. Given the critical situation at the time when lots of army men didn’t return alive, you can imagine how much overjoyed Aunt Susan was to see Uncle Robert come back safe and sound from the European battlefield. Then they got married and brought up five children. For all those years, their affection for each other grew stronger in the course of overcoming difficulties and hardships in life. I was fascinated by Aunt Susan’s story, which was totally different from my ideal of love. They practiced giving and sharing in their daily life instead of pursuing passion and romance. Amazingly, such love lasted through their whole life.1. Male-female relations are indispensable to adults all through their lives. But different generations handle them differently. Our parents’ generation lived in an era of constraints, restraints, respect, admiration, and plenty of romance. They kept a distance from people of the opposite gender in order topreserve the holiness of love and relationships.My generation, on the other hand, began with countless crushes for the opposite sex just because of their superficial charm. Harmless as it was, the love was as brief as soap bubbles. As we grew up, we came to the stage of developing real relationships, believing that love demanded a lot of give and not so much of take.By comparison, the younger generation is more open-minded and less restricted in handling the matter of love and relationships. They jump on the bandwagon of love with so much haste that it is difficult for them to distinguish between physical attraction and mental compatibilities.In short, the younger generation focuses more on physical beauty, closeness and passion, and they tend to seek what they want from the relationships. The other two generations give priority to inner charm, intimacy, emotion and sharing in dealing with relationships.2.What Do Girl Students Look for in Love and Life?In order to know about girl students’ opinion about love and life, a survey with girl students was conducted in 2005 in two universities — Chongqing University of Technology and Business and East China Normal University. The survey soughtanswers to two questions: What do you look for first in a boyfriend? What’s the most important thing for a happy life? About one third of the students chose personality as the top factor in choosing a boyfriend, followed by 27 percent focusing on abilities. Next came common interests and goals, favoured by 17 percent, with only 14 percent of students claiming appearanceto be uppermost in their minds. Fewer still, 11 percent, rated economic status as the first consideration.As to their views about a happy life, nearly seventy percent of the girls attached the greatest importance to marriage and family.“Career” was given top priority by just under 20 percent, while even fewer, around 9 percent, believed that money was the key to a happy life.Based on the survey, we may conclude that nowadays, girl students generally hold a rational attitude towards love and life. Admittedly, the improved material conditions of life explain why girls take economic status and money rather lightly. But contrary to the popular view that girls are more concerned about self-development in the workplace and social status, they still regard upon marriage and family life as central to a happy life.Unit Three Happiness (1)1. inform2. evaluate3. attractive4. depression5. leisure6.

You shouldn’t always make comparison with others; otherwise,you may be trapped in / fall into depression, for there are always many others who are better than you.4. Today people are much better off and enjoy more leisure. Strangely enough, they find life boring / dull.5. Life, in effect, is long but short of excitement. You are sure to suffer from inevitable disappointment if you expect everyday life to be as exciting as a drama.6. A life that is too easy / smooth may also be destructivebecauseit offers no opportunity for one to learn how to deal with / handle failures / frustrations / setbacks. That / This in part explains / accounts for the high rates of suicide among young people.(2)Happiness must have much to do with money. After all, a hard life will wear out one’s sense of joy. However, happiness doesn’t derive from money alone. Today’s society as a whole has seen dramatic improvement in the standard of living, and the majority of people are decently fed and clothed. However, are people happier today? In fact, when the mass media and commercial advertisements are still reinforcing the notion that to be happy is to possess more, people find themselves longing more earnestly than ever for a happy and healthy spiritual life: being loved, respected, feeling safe and proud of realizing their self-value. As a wise man once pointed out, happiness lies in the positive attitude one holds towards life other than how much money one earns. Those millionaires who view life as boring and empty serve as good negative examples.1. Man Does Not Live by Bread AloneNo one would doubt the truth that man’s existence reliesessentially on material things. We need them to get fed, clothed and sheltered. Once we are living near the breadline, we’ll feel frustrated and miserable.However, our contentment does not merely lie in material things.This is especially the case in modern times. The fast-developing economy has noticeably improved our lives and fulfilled most of our material needs. Then there comes the need of spiritual satisfaction, which is derived from good health, close friends, a loving spouse, well-raised children, a home built on love, a clear conscience, a worthy goal and an enjoyable job. While material things may lose their charm over time, spiritual satisfaction will bring us lasting happiness.Therefore, to live a happy life, we should focus more on those things that meet our spiritual demands. After all, when our need for bread is met, happiness will not come unless we feel spiritually satisfied.2. I Really Made ItI will never forget the awful feeling in my first Oral English class at college. I tried hard to listen to every word the teacher spoke, but what she was saying made no sense to me. Bitterly, I admitted that I was so poor at listening and speaking in English.I wept several times, cursing my middle school for failing to provide adequate listening and speaking practice. But finally I calmed down because the familiar words rang in my ears: There must be a way out. I had a rather solid foundation of English vocabulary and grammar. What was left for me to do was to increase my listening input and speaking output. I made it a rule that every morning I would do reading aloud by the campus lake for 40 minutes, and every evening I would stay in the language lab, listening to English for at least an hour.Then at the end of the second year came my happiest moment: I got the Scholarship for Academic Excellence.

They fi nd, all of a sudden, that they can no more / longer carry on the job they havedone for dozens of years. Some old people cannot adapt themselves to such a change and thus become depressed, believing that they are no longer useful. Indeed, depression has become one of the leading threats to old people’s health. Nonetheless, many old people in China are able to maintain their sense of usefulness by rendering their grown-up children services, such as taking care of their grandchildren and providing allowances to them. The question remains as to whether senior citizens should try other means to fill up their leisure, rendering their later years still more meaningful. I suggest the old concern themselves less with their children and make room for young people to take responsibility for their own lives. After all, the old deserve respect from the young and theyoung should tolerate their aged parents more, on the grounds that the old have contributed so much for so many years both to their family and to society.1. AIDS Across the EarthAIDS has killed and is threatening to kill millions all across the earth. Several million infections are reported by WHO each year.The virus does not care whether you are black or white, male or female, young or old. It will attack you as long as you are a human. Today, AIDS has become the leading killer of young adults and is turning the children whose parents suffer the disease into orphans. It is no exaggeration to say that we live under the shadow of AIDS.There are several possible causes for such a situation: unsafe sexual intercourse; sharing or reusing contaminated needles; transfusion of contaminated blood or blood products; an infected person’s pregnancy, giving birth and breastfeeding, etc. Unfortunately, our ignorance, prejudice and silence have carried the situation to a desperate extreme. Patients are isolated or treated as outcasts by their families and their communities. AIDS victims feel ashamed to be identified as such and try hard to hide their disease. For this reason, they cannot get immediatemedical treatment. Our harmful attitudes towards the disease and its victims have actually placed more people at risk.In our fight against this deadly disease, we should educate people on how to avoid being infected with the disease and how to lead a healthy and secure life and, more importantly, how to treat AIDS patients properly. Only in this way can we really bring AIDS under control.2. Why Do the Young Adults Kill Themselves?Young adults are in the prime of their lives and are supposed to pursue their dreams and enjoy themselves. Yet it was reported in the Guardian that suicide is the main cause of death among young adults in China. Why have so many young people ended their lives?Three factors are thought to account for the high suicide rate: increasing stress, loneliness and a lack of medical support for depression. The most pressing one, I think, is stress. Take my college life for example. From the first day I entered the university, I have been living under pressure. I used to worry that I could not quite fit into the campus life; I also feared that I might not catch up with my classmates in my studies or could not live up to my parents’ expectations. Now I am deeply concerned about whether I can find a desirable job aftergraduation. Endless pressures give rise to stress. Loneliness is another problem. Many young people find they just feel helpless when they are suffering intolerable sadness or frustration.Suicide is a great tragedy, especially for the young. If we can find ways to relieve them of their stress and offer timely help, we may save many young lives.Unit Five Education(1)1. associate2. equipped3. combined4. emphasis5. enlighten6. phase7. graded8. commented9. inspection10. passively11. rural12. negotiate13. indispensable14. illusion15. implemented16. decline17. reconcile18. practically19. residents20. virtual(2)1. so to speak2. try out3. in store4. lend themselves to5. turn my back on6. in accordance with7. crying out for8. is … the case9. step in10. calm down11. brought back12. go after13. reflect on14. get out of15.

No one will deny that some people make friendssimply for mutual utility. Once the ground for such friendship disappears,the friendship also breaks up. However,a lot more people long for “soul pals”— those who possess virtues and withwhom we can go through trials andtribulations together. Such friendships keep us away from greed andviolence and inspire us to have thecourage of our convictions. Such is what we call “true friendship”. It iswith such friends’ company that we find ourselves surpassing our old selves and becoming better persons / people.Theme-Related Writing▆Sampleessay for task 1:Bob and I became brother-like friends in ourchildhood.

Unit 7Part I Pre-Reading TaskScript for the recording:The song you are about to hear came about through a chance meeting. The singer, Donna Summer, was having a meal with her manager in an expensive restaurant in the plush Beverly Hills area of Los Angeles. As Donna tells the story: "I went into the ladies, and saw one of the waitresses sleeping on a stool, absolutely exhausted from lack of sleep," she says. "I woke the lady up and asked her name. She was called Onetta and simply told me she worked hard for money. She worked in the restaurant in the evenings, but was a full-time nurse during the day".- 130 - Appendix IAnd so was born the song, a call to show respect to those who work hard to serve people, no matter what the job.

As the story unfolds, we learn more about his past and his character, how, for example, he followed his father's example in becoming a salesman and how proud he is of his ability to support himself by his trade. We learn how many miles he has to walk, and the household provisions he deals in. In many ways, his life seems bleak. He does not get home until late at night and lives alone. He is getting old. Yet, despite all this, he refuses to give way to self-pity.(181 words)Appendix I - 137。

With its quick growth / development, people are given/ can enjoy an equally convenient access to educational resources, no matter where theyare.2.Translate the following paragraph into English using the words and expressions in the boxbelow.▆ Answers for reference:A university, in essence, provides students with both occupational training and intellectualdevelopment. The students acquire professional skills in order to have the minimum qualificationsto become specialists, such as pharmacists, engineers, technicians and lawyers. It might be reasonable to believe that those skills suffice to enable them to get a good job. Nevertheless, doesone feel content with merely a good job? We know that most young people who enroll inuniversities long for not only professional training, but also quality education; namely, they wantto learn what the past learnt for them and get in touch with the minds and experience of the master thinkers in order to become civilized people. Those who are knowledgeable only in their peculiar fields may be labeled (as) “mechanized savages”, because of their incompetence in understanding the thinking and works of other fields, for example, philosophy, literature and thearts. Thus, the university is most likely to help young people realize two dreams after they graduate:having a good job where their occupational training will be effective, and living a meaningful life for which diversity of knowledge is required.Theme-Related WritingDo either one of the following two tasks after class.1.Write an essay entitled “The Significance of Lifelong Education.” The following outlinemay be of some help:1)In the past, a college education was enough to ensure a well-paid, much-respected joband a sense of achievement., it is a must to renew”knowledge societywith the increasing competition in our “Today, 2).one's knowledge and upgrade one's skills. What's more, a general college educationserves only as a passport to lifetime education.3)The concept of lifelong education finds expression in the slogan “Live and Learn.”2.“Should Family Schooling Exist?” This question is raised in a news report carried in anEnglish newspaper in China. Read the report below and write a short essay to express yourown views on the issue.▆ Sample essay for task 1:The Significance of Lifelong EducationDecades ago, due to the low standard of living in China, only a small percentage of thenation's population could receive college education. Once given the opportunity, one would surely secure a well-paid and much-respected job, which he or she would probably do for a lifetime. Therefore, to secure a college degree used to be the ultimate goal of a person's education.Today, however, we are living in what is called a “knowledge society,”where creative ideasand innovations are generated at a fantastic speed. One must constantly renew one's knowledgeand upgrade one's skills so as to meet the needs of the changing world. Moreover, at the stage of general education, it is pointless for a person to attempt to know everything. When one is requiredto settle down to be a specialist in a specific field, one has to make an in-depth study of thesubject one is supposed to know. In this sense, general education can provide students with only a passport to lifelong education. As Robert Maynard Hutchins once said, the object of education isto prepare the young to educate themselves throughout their lives.In my opinion, life in modern society is not only a process of “learning to live”but also a process of “living to learn”. The slogan “Live and Learn”can best reflect the concept of lifelong education. (226 words)▆ Sample essay for task 2:Should Family Schooling Exist?Meng Mu Tang, a private school in Shanghai, is modeled after the educational system ofancient Chinese home schools, which favored rote memorization and recitation of classic works.But the local education authorities in Shanghai have declared it illegal according to a report in 21st Century. Should family schooling exist? What role should it play?In my opinion, family schooling should be permitted to play a positive role in the current educational system in China. Every family should be free to choose the form of education that best suits their children's interests and natural gifts. Although the existing education system in Chinahas remarkably improved, it does not fit each child perfectly. Since family schooling provides a means to develop a person's talents and unique interest, Meng Mu Tang, as a private school geared to a specific group of children, should not be banned in haste. In view of the current dynamic,quality-minded educational reforms in China, we should permit family schooling to enrich and diversify our educational system.On the other hand, home schooling should adapt itself to the modern world. To preparechildren for the future, it should equip them with knowledge and innovative power so that theycan cope with the development of the modern world. While tapping children's innate talents on anMuMeng development. all-round their neglect never should schooling family basis, individualTang may not be a perfect private school, but we should let it live and have a try so that family schooling may eventually become an indispensable component of our formal education.
