Lesson 14 Does the Younger Generation Know Best？ Text The Younger Generation Knows Best Old people are always saying that the young are not what they were. The same comment is made from generation to generation and it is always true. It has never been truer than it is today. The young are better educated. They have a lot more money to spend and enjoy more freedom. They grow up more quickly and are not so dependent on their parents. They think more for themselves and do not blindly accept the ideals of their elders. Events which the older generation remembers vividly are nothing more than past history. This is as it should be. Every new generation is different from the one that preceded it. Today the difference is very marked indeed. The old always assume that they know best far the simple reason that they have lieen around a bit longer. They don't like to feel that their values are being questioned or threatened. And this is precisely what the young are doing. They are questioning the assumptions of their elders and disturbing their complacency. They take leave to doubt that the older generation has created the best of all possible worlds. What they reject more than anything is conformity. Office hours, for instance, are nothing more than enforced slavery. Wouldn't people work best if they were given complete freedom and responsibility？ And what about clothing？ Who said that all the men in the world should wear drab grey suits and convict haircuts？ If we turn our minds to more serious matters, who said that human differences can best be solved through conventional polities or by violent means？ Why have the older generation so often used violence to solve their problems？ Why are they so unhappy and guilt-ridden in their pexsonal lives, so obsessed with mean ambitions and the desire to amass more and more material possessions？ Can anything be right with the ratrace？ Haven't the old lost touch with all that is important in life？ These are not questions the older generation can shrug off lightly. Their record over the past forty years or so hasn' t been exactly spotless. Traditionally, the young have turned to their elders for guidance. Today, the situation might be reversed. The old - if they are prepared to admit it-coutd learn a thing or two from their children. One of the biggest lessons they could learn is that enjoyment is not “sinful”。

"Are you absolutely sure?" and "I wonder if there's a mistake" are examples of showing disagreement indirectly.Listening StrategyDistinguishing Signal WordsWords like "but", "although" and "however" give a signal that the speaker (or writer) is going to say something different from what has been said. On the other hand, words like "and", "besides" and "also" only add something similar to what has been said. The ability to recognize these signal words while listening is a great help in understanding a text correctly.Listen to the short conversations and choose the right answers to the questions you hear.1. a.

They cover major school events, notices issued by the school authorities, sports and entertainment news, and articles written by students to air different viewpoints. A special column called "classifieds", or "classified ads", is devoted to advertisements for jobs, accommodation news, sale of used things -- books, furniture, cars, etc.—under such headings as "Help Wanted", "Services", "Furniture for Sale", "Roommates Wanted", "Miscellaneous". To place an ad, one can call the advertising department of the paper to arrange it and pay a small fee. For example, a student-run paper at an American university in New York charges the following advertising rates: 8 dollars for the first 20 words, 25 cents for each individual word and 50 cents for a box.2.

V ery few companies are able to sell a product without advertising. It is possible, but very unlikely. There are many different kinds of advertising. The simplest is called promotion. Promotion is using brochures or pamphlets to advertise. Theses can be handed to people on the street or they can be mailed. If they are mailed, it is called direct mail advertising. After direct mail advertising, there are: newspaper advertising, radio advertising, magazine advertising and television advertising. Newspaper advertising is the cheapest kind, while television is the most expensive.Television ads are generally used by large companies selling a product to a large market segment. Television advertising can be very successful because it reaches such a large audience. Small companies may find television advertising too expensive, so they often use newspapers to advertise. However, large companies also like newspapers because of their wide circulation.Part DTest Your ListeningA Compound DictationListen to the passage three times and supply the missing information.Advertising is an important part of the free enterprise 1) system. This is because different businesses are 2) competing for the same market. For this reason, they buy advertising 3) space in newspapers or magazines and advertising time on radio or TV. They each hope that advertisements will increase 4) demand for their products.In order to do well in the market, advertisers need to decide on a target; in other words, who are possible 5) buyers for their product? For example, what is the age and sex of their target group? How much education do they have? What are their political 6) beliefs and values? How much money do they make? Some companies such as McDonald’s target various groups, so they have many different ads—one for 7) teenagers, one for families and several in different languages.8) After advertisers decide on who, they need to determine where. What is a good place for their advertisement? Sellers of toys often advertise during children’s TV programs on Saturday morning. Sellers of expensive clothing advertise in V ogue and other fashion magazines.9) Advertisers also need to think about people’s motivation—their reasons for buying something. What makes people buy one product but not another? There are many possible reasons: health, profit, love, entertainment, etc. A study of advertising can also be a study of psychology. 10) When we think about the products that people buy, we learn about their needs, wants, fears, and values.。

Unit 14 WomenPart APre-listening TaskQuestions for Discussion1. Which sex tends to live a longer life, male or female?2. What might be some of the reasons for this difference in the length of life between men and women?3. Are women less intelligent, less capable, weaker than men? Why or why not? Give examples to illustrate your point.4. What were the traditional roles of women? Do you think they were unfair to women?5. Do women receive equal treatment at present? How do women feel about it?6. Is it possible for a woman to be successful in her career and take good care of her family at the same time?Demo:4. What were the traditional roles of women? Do you think they were unfair to women?The traditional roles of women vary according to their culture and religion. In the traditional Chinese society, women were oppressed and disrespected. The traditional role of women in China centered around the home, where they were expected to serve their families. Men dominated the Chinese society while women were subordinate to their fathers, husbands, brothers and sons. Arranged marriages left women with virtually no voice in the society. Chinese women did not have rights or privileges. So their roles were certainly unfair.In the West and in many parts of the world, traditionally when a couple got married, the man was considered to be the head of the family, and his wife was expected to defer to him. Generally, the wife would be expected to be in charge of the household, to provide food, and to raise and care for the children. In a Jewish society, women of all classes were generally expected to be the family doctors, since professional doctors were often not available. Women would be expected to have a good knowledge of first aid and medicine, be able to make their own home remedies, treat wounds, etc.Additional Question for DiscussionDo you think that women in China have ample opportunities to develop their potential? Why or why not?Demo:Some do, some don’t. First, opportunities are a limited resource in most places. Compared to the number of people who want them, there are simply not enough of them. Second, there’s the traditional or popular concept about women’s role. They are the weaker sex and their status is comparatively lower than men at home. Third, physically and psychologically speaking, women are faced with some special challenges, like giving birth to children. So, only those women who are well prepared, highly motivated, hard-working, and have a bit of good luck will get anopportunity to fully develop their potential.Language FocusHere are some sentences and structures that you may find useful in discussing the above questions.●Women tend to live longer than men do as a rule.●Male babies tend to outnumber female ones because more parents seem to want to have sons.●It’s the natural function of women to bear children and feed them at infancy.●The distinction we draw between men and women is largely arbitrary / irrational / irrelevant /without good reason / based only on women’s biological functions.●Women are no less capable, intelligent, logical, reasonable, responsible, etc. than men.●In the old days, the role of married women was to assist their husbands and bring up children/ wait upon their husbands and parents-in-law / cook for the family / do all the housework. ●Women were traditionally encouraged to develop tender thoughts and sentimental feelings /rely on intuition and instinct to arrive at decisions / be modest and obedient.●Women were discouraged from developing rationality and reasoning.●After a long, bitter struggle, women now enjoy the right to vote / have the same educationalopportunities as men in most parts of the world.●There are no laws preventing women in many countries from voting / being elected /pursuing a career / becoming a professional.●On the surface, women in most countries have the free choice to either stay at home or entera profession.●Prejudice against women still exists. Even in the most progressive societies, women continueto be regarded as second-rate citizens.●It may be personally fulfilling and socially valuable for women to take care of home andfamily.●Compared with their male colleagues, career women have to shoulder more responsibilitiesin life.●It’s very difficult to be wife, mother and successful career woman at the same time.● A woman’s position within a family, in a way, depends on her economic status.●Some women are quite content with the way things are / have no desire for change / havelittle confidence in themselves / have no ambition for top-level posts.Part BListening TasksPassage 1Women in BusinessWord Bankprestigious a. having or bringing general respect or admiration 有声望的ministry n. a government department that deals with a particular area of administration （政府的）部sabotage v. to damage, destroy, esp. deliberately 破坏high-visibility a. highly attractive 高度引人注目的haven n. a place of calm and safety 安全的地方；避难所abortion n. the act of stopping the development of a child inside a woman, esp. by amedical operation 堕胎pun n. play on words 双关语conservatively ad. traditionally (in style) 保守地flattering a. pleasing, likable 令人喜欢的femininity n. the quality considered typical of women 女子气质manicure v. to do cosmetic treatment of fingernails 修（指甲）as opposed to distinguished from or in contrast with 与……对照之下；而不是play hardball to use methods that are not gentle and may even be unfair 采取强硬方式Script:Most women in France work. Their average salary is about 75% that of their male co-workers, even though laws passed in 1972 require “professional equality” between the sexes.The good news is that women are increasingly moving into middle management. A handful are top executives. The higher their position, the harder it is to balance family and career. A 38-year-old woman who graduated from the prestigious National School of Administration remembers that when she took a senior post in a ministry, her male colleagues assured her, “You are one of us, one of the guys.” But when she became a mother, they stuck to age-old traditions that she couldn’t follow — long lunches and late-night meetings. “It was too much pressure and I felt like I was being sabotaged,” she says.For those who want to balance family with a job, as opposed to a high-pressure, high-visibility career, France is a haven. Women marry later, on average, than in America — at age 25. And they stay in the workforce. Part-time jobs are easy to find. Maternity benefits are generous, with over six months of paid leave. Women who’ve raised three or more children are entitled to a state-funded pension. The quality of publicly funded education for children is high. And abortion is not only legal, but it’s paid for by the state.French businesswomen dress elegantly, argue intelligently and play hardball at the negotiating table. They show their wit, intellect, ability to make puns and understanding of politics, history and literature. Unlike most American female executives who dress conservatively in a dark, not particularly flattering suit, with no jewelry and little makeup, Frenchwomen see no need to abandon femininity and elegance in the business world. They prefer soft colors, stylish clothes, silk scarves, manicured nails, light makeup, and simple but elegant jewelry.Language and Culture Notes1. Background informationWomen’s position in society has improved since the middle of the last century. They now enjoy the right to vote and have the same educational opportunities as men do in most countries. But this is the result of a long and hard struggle. In France, for example, women did not even have the right to open their own mail until 1923 and did not have the right to vote until 1944. And until 1965, no married woman was allowed to open her own bank account without her husband’s written consent.And even today women are still discriminated against in various ways. In many countries, women do not get equal pay for equal work. In France, women’s salary is about 75% that ofmen and in Britain, the situation is similar with women still earning only 79% of men’s full-time hourly pay. As regards work types, most women are in clerical and secretarial jobs, which are undervalued and underpaid. And there are far fewer women than men in top positions in various spheres of life. In our own country, when university graduates apply for an opening in a company, boys are usually preferred. To win equal treatment for women, there is still much to do.2.they stuck to age-old traditions that she couldn’t follow — long lunches and late-night meetingsthey strictly observed those very old traditions without considering that she was now a mother and had a baby to take care of; they talked about business during long lunches and spent extra hours after work having meetings, so she could find little time to be with her baby3. It was too much pressure and I felt like I was being sabotaged.I felt that I was being deliberately placed under more pressure than I could bear.4. And they stay in the workforce.They don’t quit their jobs after they get married.5. Frenchwomen see no need to abandon femininity and elegance in the business world French businesswomen do not think it necessary to give up their feminine charm while doing businessExercise 1Listen to the passage and choose the right answers to the questions you hear.1. What do you know about French businesswomen?a. They enjoy equal pay for equal work.b. Most of them can be promoted to the highest rank if they choose.c. They seem to receive better treatment than women in most other countries.d. They dress conservatively at work.2. What does the speaker intend to say through the passage about French businesswomen?a. They are fortunate and admirable.b. They are proud and self-centered.c. They are beautiful and elegant.d. They are capable and generous.3. What is implied in the passage about French businesswomen?a. They are hard to please.b. They are unlikely to stay on their jobs when they get married.c. They are as capable and aggressive as their male counterparts.d. They are too feminine.Exercise 2Listen to the passage again and fill in the blanks with the missing information.Passage 2Are Women the Weaker Sex?Word Banklongevity n. length of life 寿命paradox n. an improbable combination of opposing qualities, ideas, etc. 自相矛盾的事；怪事homicide n. (an act of) murder 杀人lingering a. slow to reach an end or disappear 拖延的hormone n. a chemical in the body that stimulates certain organs 荷尔蒙，激素interaction n. a process by which two or more things have an effect on each other by being or working close together 相互作用chronic a. (of a disease) lasting a long time （疾病）慢性的joint n. a part of the body that can bend because two bones meet there 关节fatigue n. feeling of extreme tiredness 疲劳Mother Nature Nature seen as the giver of life to all the creatures in it （给予万物生命的）大自然head start an advantage at the beginning stage, esp. in a race or competition 先起步的优势come down with to catch (an illness) 患上（疾病）Script:Women and men are not created equal. Mother Nature favors her own sex when it comes to longevity, with women living about seven years — or 10% — longer than men.Still, men actually get a head start in the battle of the sexes, since male babies outnumber female babies by 115 to 100. But by about age 30, women have caught up with men numerically, and they then leave men in the dust, with three women alive for every man by age 85.But there’s the paradox: While women live longer than men, they’re generally sicker. Men tend to die from rapidly fatal health problems such as heart attacks, accidents, suicides andhomicides. Women, on the other hand, tend to develop lingering illnesses that often cause years of discomfort.Women spend twice as much money on health care as men do. They also consult doctors more frequently, take more drugs, spend more days in hospitals and have more operations. They also take more sick time off from work. Why? The chief causes seem to be genes, hormones and interactions of the two.Many women suffer from chronic conditions like muscle and joint pain, sleep disorder, anxiety, headaches, and fatigue. There is no known cause for them, but they probably result from the body’s abnormal response to stress. Women may be more likely than men to have these diseases simply because they are under more stress. A woman is often under tremendous stress to fulfill what she sees as her obligations to her family, her community and her employer.Researchers still know little about women’s health. There is clearly a need for more research into why women come down with chronic illnesses and what can be done about it.Language and Culture Notes1. Mother Nature favors her own sex when it comes to longevitySo far as the length of life is concerned, Nature, represented traditionally as a female, seems to have a partiality for women and bestows on them the good fortune of a longer life.2. men actually get a head start in the battle of the sexesmore boys were actually born than girls3. they then leave men in the dust, with three women alive for every man by age 85by age 85, more men have died and the ratio of surviving women to men is 3 to 1Exercise 1Listen to the passage and choose the right answers to the questions you hear.1. What is the main idea of the passage?a. Women are Mother Nature’s favorites.b. Women leave men in the dust when it comes to longevity.c. Women are not the weaker, but the stronger sex.d. Women live longer than men but they tend to suffer more from chronic illnesses.2. What is the speaker’s attitude toward women’s health problems?a. Sympathetic.b. Keenly interested.c. Critical.d. Indifferent.Exercise 2Listen to the passage again and decide if the statements you hear are true (T) or false(F).1. Women live ten years longer than men. (F)2. The number of women gradually exceeds that of men by age 30. (T)3. Women spend more money on medicine because they are often seriously ill. (F)4. A woman bears a greater responsibility to her family, community and employer than a man does. (F)5. Women can cope with stress better than men. (F)6. Men are likely to die from rapidly fatal health problems while women often complain about stress-related diseases. (T)7. There’s still much to be discovered about women’s health. (T)Speaking TasksPair WorkDebating — Arguments for or against the view that women face unequal treatment ingetting promotedA SampleIn companies throughout the world, there are very few women top executives. What do you think is the cause of this? Is it because women are inferior or because in many cases they are denied access to such positions? Express and defend your views from the perspectives given in the card below.Possible Arguments (for reference)From the perspective of an employer (negative)I don’t think women face unequal treatment on their way to executive positions. The chances are equal for both men and women. And there are quite a few outstanding women in leading positions in various organizations, including business companies. I think the answer to why there are not as many female top executives as male ones can be found in women themselves.Many women seem to have little confidence in their own abilities. They seem to be persuaded that they are inferior to their male colleagues and have no ambition to become top executives. Perhaps the responsibility of a higher position frightens them, so they simply give up. Perhaps they would like to stay in a less demanding job, which makes it easier for them to maintain a balance between career and family. I don’t think there is a glass ceiling above them as some people have imagined.From the perspective of a female employee (positive)I don’t think I can agree with the opinions just expressed. As far as promotion is concerned, women and men do not have equal opportunities. It’s true that some women have an inferiority complex and have no ambition to get promoted to top positions. But if we stop to consider what has caused them to think like that, we will know how unfair it is. Ours is largely a male-dominated society. For centuries women have been taught to be modest, passive, and obedient. Therefore, many women lack confidence in themselves and believe they are only fit for lesser jobs. If they are persuaded to think along those lines, they obviously stand no chance to get promoted to top positions.But many women do overcome this inferiority complex and go all out to compete with their male colleagues. The trouble with them is they have to face a mostly male selective body, andchances are they will not get promoted unless they are extremely outstanding. There are so many men of average capability promoted to high executive positions, for the mere fact that they are men. Can we say there is equal treatment for both men and women when promotion is concerned?Now use the above sample as a model and discuss the following topic. You can refer to the notes provided below for ideas and vocabulary. You are also welcome to contribute ideas of your own.Some Ideas for ReferenceThe Argument (positive)pared with men, women seem to be more efficient in running their homes and lookingafter kids.2.If women stay at home looking after their husbands and kids, both the couple will be lessstressed and will have more time to enjoy themselves. Thus their life quality, in a way, can be improved.3.With the wife staying at home, the husband will be able to focus on his work because he willhave nothing to worry about back at home.4.It will certainly do good to children if they have their mother meet them when they come backhome from school.5.With the mother staying home, children tend to be better looked after and better educated.And as a result, there will be much fewer juvenile delinquents.6.If women with pre-school children withdraw from the job market, there will be more jobopportunities available and the competition will become less tough.7.Besides looking after their families, women will have time to do some voluntary work and itreally does good to society.8.Women’s staying home is beneficial to a harmonious family life, which then contributes to aharmonious society.The Counter-argument (negative)1.Both men and women have the right to choose whether to seek a career away from home ornot. It is unfair asking women to return to their traditional roles as mother and wife and leave their jobs to men.2.The problem of unemployment is caused by bad economy, not by job positions taken up bywomen.3.It is wrong to confuse women’s biological role with their social role.4.If women stay at home, they will never be economically independent / gain equal status infamily and in society.5.If a woman does not have her own career, her life circle will be much smaller. This will affecther way to look at the world and as a result she and her husband have much less to talk about and the relationship will thus suffer.6.Many women are gifted in areas other than housework. There are noted women scientists,politicians, doctors, educators, entrepreneurs, etc. It’s a waste of their talents to keep them at home.7.Similarly, some men may be gifted in housekeeping. It’s also a waste of their talents to drivethem out to work.8.If women were forced to return to their traditional roles as housewives, all the past efforts forequal rights for women would have been in vain.Part CTest Your ListeningA PassageListen to the passage and choose the right answers to the questions you hear.1. What does Jennifer do now?a. A model.b. A clothes designer for a sportswear company.c. The manager of a small company.d. One of the directors of a sportswear manufacturer.2. How were the company’s products sold in the past?a. Through small specialist shops.b. Through department stores.c. Through supermarkets.d. Through clothes shops.3. What does Jennifer mean by “the real battle”?a. The battle to win the support of the other directors.b. The battle to design better sportswear for the company.c. The battle to convince the male directors that she knew how to do business.d. The battle to increase the company’s sales.4. What can you learn about Jennifer from the passage?a. She is successful in all her careers.b. She bought a small company with money she had saved.c. Her partners thought highly of her.d. Her partners never took up her ideas.Script:More and more women today can be found in top positions in business and industry. An example of this trend is Jennifer Bradbury.After a very successful career as a model, she became a clothes designer. Then, with money she had saved and borrowed, she bought part of a small company that manufactured sportswear and became one of its directors. As she says, it was then that “the real battle began”. The other directors often asked her opinions about the design and the color of the company’s products butthey refused to believe she understood anything about the “hard side of business”. Jennifer gives an example. She says, “The company sold its sportswear only through small specialist shops. I was sure we would never increase our sales unless we sold through big department stores and even supermarkets. The other two directors didn’t like the idea at all at first. They were afraid we would lose some of our traditional customers if we did what I wanted. I think part of the trouble was they didn’t take the idea very seriously simply because it came from a woman.”But Jennifer and her ideas are certainly taken very seriously now. Under her leadership, the company has increased its sales and the number of customers. It also manufactures a much wider variety of sports clothes, many of them designed by Jennifer herself.Part DTime to TalkLook at these pictures and describe them one by one. If possible, try also to find something relevant to talk about.Hints:1. a group of women soccer players, the woman in white, in control of the ball, seem ratherskilled, women runners, women jumpers, women’s volleyball or basketball players, a long time ago, playing soccer by women, only a recent thing, women’s soccer is also worth watching2.two black women, each has a baby in their hands, put some medicine in the babies’ mouths,another black woman on the right, learn from one another, mothers have to learn to take care of their babies, for example, learn to feed the baby, keep the babies healthy, etc.3.most of the women look unfamiliar, one lady in red is familiar to me, Hilary Clinton, the wifeof former President Clinton, first ladies, Mrs. Clinton takes an interest in politics, senator of New Y ork, consider running for president, women prime ministers in the world, no woman president in the U.S.Demo:1.The picture shows a group of women soccer players. The woman in white, who’s incontrol of the ball, seems rather skilled in the game. There were women runners, women jumpers, women’s volleyball or basketball players a long time ago. But playing soccer by women is only a recent thing. Now like men’s soccer game, women’s soccer is also worth watching.2.Two black women are in the center of this picture. Each has a baby in their hands. Theyput some medicine in the babies’mouths. Another black woman on the right is looking or learning. They seem to learn from one another. After giving birth, mothers have to learn to take care of their babies, for example, learn to feed the babies with their milk or with other food, and keep the babies healthy, etc.3.Most of the women in this picture look unfamiliar. But one lady in red is familiar to me.It’s Hilary Clinton. She is the wife of former President Clinton. Unlike many other first ladies, Mrs. Clinton takes an interest in politics. As far as I know, she has been elected senator of New Y ork and she’s considering running for president. There are a few women prime ministers in the world. But there has never been a woman president in the United States.Movie TimeWord Banktreacherous a.骗人的treason n.骗局restrain v.抑制ancestor n.祖先entourage n.随从pfft int.呸spit v.吐痰fraud n.骗子Script:- I knew there was something wrong with you.
