Unit 1 Fresh StartI first began to wonder what I was doing on a college compus anyway when my parents drove off . My plan was to keep my ears open and my mouth shut .The next morning , I found my first class and marched in . But I was in the wrong building . After class , I went to the cafeteria , I stepped in a large puddle of ketchup and my rear end met the floor . It ended with my first day of college class . I was very frustrated . But later , a composed and very confident football player let me realized I had been taking myself far too seriously .So I gave up trying to act my way through college and began not acting at all . Three years after graduation , I’m still making mistakes , and I’m even being forgiven for a few .Unit 2 Tranny of the UrgentHave you ever wished for a thirty-hour gay ? We seemed have a lot of things undone . But would a thirty-hour day really solve the problem ? Prolongation of time doesn’t really solve the problem . We find ourselves working more and enjoying it less . Our dilemma goes deeper , it’s basically the problem of priorities . Sometimes we have left undone and we have done those things which we shouldn’t have done . It’s the problem of priorities . Some urgent things devour our energy . Then we recall the important tasks pushed aside . We realize we’ve become slaves to the “ tyranny of the urgent ” .Unit 3 Chinese FoodChinese and Western have the different attitudes toward food . Most of chinese pay more attention to the food , but the western is different . For them , food is quite simply a fuel . Chinese think the eating is one of the most important things in life : to eat with the capital E . In fact , chinese food is the only truly international food . How did this come about ? The reasons included that the chinese went to work in North America , and the population pressure in HongKong . But root is that the western are interested in chinese food . There is no doubt that the traditional high-quality chinese meal is a serous matter , the preparation is detailed , and the enjoyment must therefore match it . Chinese food is an expression of basic assumptions about life itself .Unit 4 Why I Want a WifeI’m a wife , but I want a wife . With a wife , I can go back to college , leaving my wife to take care of the house and my children . I want a wife who will take care of my physical needs . She is supposed to the house clean , cook the meals every day , and do the grocery shopping . I want a wife who will take care of the details of my social life . When my friends are invited to our home , she should prepare a special meal and make them feel comfortable . I want a wife who will satisfy my sexual needs , of course , she will not demand sexual attention when I don’t feel like it . And I want the liberty to replace my present wife with another one . A wife can do so many things , who wouldn’t want a wife ?Unit 5 The Company ManPhil was a company man , a workaholic , a prefect tape A . He worked himself to death at 3:00 am Sunda y morning . He worked six days a week , over ten hours a day . He didn’t like to exercise , so he was overweight . He was too busy to share any time with his wife and children . As a result , he was very distant from them . One of his sons said : “ my fath er and I only boardhere .” Most company loved him and they thought that if he could have lived for another five years , he would have been naturally moved to the top spot . Phil was dead , his company could run without him , but he left his wife and children behind , and threw them into a helpless condition .Unit 7 The ChaserAlan Austen wanted to buy some love portion from the old man to win a girl's heart . In the very beginning , he is very nervous . The old man showed him a portion called a life-cleaner , however , it's very expensive . But the old man told him the love portion is not as expensive as that . If the girl drinks it , she will be changed altogether , she will want to be everything to him . She will take care of him , and she will worry about him . Alan is very happy to hear that , because that is what he wants . Finally , Alan thanks the old man and leaves here .Unit 8 Fun , Oh Boy . Fun . You Could Die from ItFun is hard to have , fun is a rare jewel . As a matter o f fact : “ is it fun ?” becomes the questions that overshadows all other questions .

In order to have fun , they start to look for more and more thrilling ways to supply it . Big occasions were supposed to be fun . The correct way is to treat fun reverently , so you may have some fresh fun now and then .Unit 9 One Becoming a Better StudentAs students , we expect a great deal from our teachers . As a teacher , I begun to see that is really impossible to teach by these expectations . Many factors come together to make a fine student . Such people are tremendously curious , and they have the better discipline . To be a student is to take risks . Successful students don't expect to be spoon-fed , but take their own initiative . To learn , is to open oneself . There are several advice to the good students : Be attentive ; Be seen ; Be on time ; Be consistent ; Listen with your whole body ; you have the right to disagree ; and last , let your teacher know much you appreciate him or her .。

Unit 1Dr. Rob Boll and his family were enjoying their church's annual fund-raising dinner when a 76-year-old lady choked on a piece of turkey and lost consciousness. The old lady's family tried the Heimlich maneuver, but it did not work.Dr. Rob Boll rushed to the old lady's rescue. Although under his direction Steve Hoblin managed to pull out a piece of turkey, the old lady was still not breathing. Dr. Boll realized that his only chance was to perform an emergency tracheotomy. Though he was only a family doctor who had never done the operation before, seeing that the patient was in such a critical situation, he went ahead with the operation using a simple switchblade. Thanks to Dr. Boll's brave heart and calm mind, the operation succeeded. Dr. Boll was so amazed by this "miracle" that he attributed the success to divine intervention.Unit 3With more and more kids logging on to the Internet, cyber-bullying has become a serious social problem. Cyber-bullying takes various forms, such as sending threatening messages, displaying private messages, and posting embarrassing videos and photos online.Researchers have pointed out that cyber-bullying can have an even more detrimental effect on the victim than conventional playground bullying. There are two main reasons for this: First, a sheer number of people can view something posted online. Secondly, the always-on feature of Internet culture makes it impossible for the victim to escape cyber-bullying.Anonymity is also to blame for widespread cyber-bullying, as it encourages people to act aggressively online. Anonymity amplifies the negative effect of cyber-bullying, as the victim has no idea who the bully is. In the meanwhile, it tempts bullies to new levels of cruelty because they do not see how miserable their victims are.To protect kids from cyber-bullying, legislative actions must be taken, but more importantly, the whole society should get involved.Unit 4Near Sleepy Hollow is a village called Tarry Town, in which there was a teacher named Ichabod Crane. He was tall and thin, just like a crane. He fell in love with Katrina, the only daughter of a rich Dutch farmer, a blooming lass of fresh eighteen. Ichabod Crane's rival was a strong young man named Brom Van Brunt, a hero to all the young ladies.It was rumored that in the valley a headless horseman could be seen at night looking for his lost head. One night, on his way home after enjoying the big party at Katrina's house, Ichabod Crane found himself confronted with the headless horseman. He could not escape from this spectre, for all his efforts. Then, to his great horror, he saw the headless horseman pick up his head and throw it with a powerful force. The head hit him in the face and knocked him off his horse.The next day people found his horse, his hat, and a broken pumpkin. Ichabod disappeared once and for all, and Katrina married Brom. Whenever Ichabod or the pumpkin was mentioned, Brom would smile or laugh.Unit5Of all the theories concerned with the origin and evolution of the universe, the Big Bang model is the best known. This model originated from Hubble's Law, which was formed by Edwin Hubble in 1929, holding that the universe is expanding in every direction. Therefore, it's reasonable to assume that, if the universe is currently growing, then the universe was smaller in the past. Along this line of reasoning, there must have been a time when the universe was an extremely small point. Out of this point the universe exploded into existence. The expansion of the universe lends strong support to the Big Bang theory. Another major line of evidence is the Cosmic Microwave Background radiation (CMB). The Big Bang model predicts that once the universe had reached 300,000 years old, photons could move about freely. The CMB, this "first light" in the universe, is a strong indication of the Big Bang. The third major evidence is that the amounts of elements observed all agree at least roughly with those predicted by the Big Bang theory. The last is that the Big Bang theory comprehensively lays down a framework for the eventual evolution of the universe.Unit7One day I had a tiny accident: I broke my key in the lock when trying to unlock the door to go to work. So I called a locksmith, who came immediately. To my surprise, he insisted on being paid cash in advance, which I was incapable of providing, and declaring professional ethics, then left me alone! Thinking I could resort to other solutions, I called some twenty locksmith shops, but they all flatly refused me as I had been put on their blacklist. Then I called the janitor, my girlfriend, and my colleagues, who all turned me down for various reasons. In desperation, I shouted from the tenth floor of my building and even threw typed messages down onto the street, but nothing came of it. What was worse, my telephone was cut off for nonpayment and then they cut off my gas, electricity, and water. So I was trapped alone indoors and had to survive on my own by catching rain water, breeding insects and spiders, etc. Year after year, I have become used to this new lifestyle and feel relatively happy.Unit8In the story, the narrator wanted accident insurance not for traveling by rail, but for lying at home in bed, which went contrary to common sense — there always exists the likelihood of losing one's life in traveling by air, by train, or in any vehicle. This is because the narrator found that the peril lay not in traveling, but in staying at home. The narrator compares the danger of traveling in a vehicle, especially by train, with that of lying in bed. Availing himself of considerable hard statistics he shows the reader that chances are greatest for human beings to die in bed. Therefore, the narrator suggests it would be wise of us to stay away from home unless we have to, unless we have bought ourselves a package of insurance tickets and sit up nights without going to bed.。

Book 4 Retelling the passagePlease retell Unit 1AR1: Looking for a job after university? First, get off the sofa this passage talks about More than 650,000 students left university this summer and most in these financially testing times have no idea what to do next. And prents revert to nagging. One of the graduates --- Jack Goodwin. He fails to get a job. Since then he has spent the summer “hiding”. He talks to his friends about his aimless days and finds that most are in the same boat. And his mother is taking a soft line with him at that moment. But she hope that her son can get a job to do. Gael Lindenfield, a psychotherapist, says that the Goodwin parents have struck exactly the right note. She says that parents should be wary of becoming too soft, and should tread sympathetically after a job setback. I agree with her, we can start with a simple job. It’s certainly more likely to get a job than lounging in front of the TV.Please retell Unit 1 AR2: If you ask methis passage talks about an economic graduate who gets a job in a pub for a year and then has an opportunity to be successful. Because her family can’t support her to further study, she has to work. She has financial problems. She doesn’t have any friends in London. Also, she doesn’t have a boyfriend, she feels lonely. She tells her troubles to Tony, a regular customer of the pub. And Tony talks to some friends and gets her a load to set up a business. Because of his help, she has her master’s degree and her own company. Finally, she repays the money, and Tony is disabled after a car accident. In aword, it is worthwhile to suffer. We just need to wait for one or two breaks in our life to succeed.Please retell Unit 2 AR1: Danger! Books may change your lifeThis passage talks about the power of reading books. Reading is a life-changing activity. It helps us enter a new world and liberate us from the real world we come from; it stimulates our emotions and allows us enjoy and celebrate the variety and difference, and provides us with an opportunity to grow. As soon as we are able to listen, books are supremely influential in the way we live. Homerun book might be the book that everyone should read. It gives us pleasure and satisfaction. And We’re always looking for our own home-run books. In a word, we should read more books to discover the real meaning of our life.Please retell Unit 2 AR2: They were alive and they spoke to meThis passage talks about some Henry Miller’s views on the book. First, Henry Miller describes the struggle he waged to obtain books when he was young. And then introduces What makes a book live. that is, the passionate recommendation of one reader to another. He thinks that when you have possessed a book with mind and spirit, you are enriched. But when you pass it on you are enriched threefold. Everyone would like to wade through all those books we have so long toyed with in our mind. And he suggests that read as little as possible. He then advises a way to test it---that is, leave a book alone, but think about it as intensely, observe with what extraordinary acumen youtackle it and realize that only little of the books is really new to you. In a word, not everyone can be a prodigious reader. We should choose a book carefully.Please retell Unit 3 AR1: Been there, done that, got the T-shirtThis passage talks about the use of clothes. First, writer introduces her father’s old battle jacket. Then writer says that the original, prehistoric purpose of clothes was purely functional---they needed to be warm and waterproof, and to protect our modesty. But today, there are lots of fashionistas who are the followers of the latest fashions at the expense of comfort and practicality. Other choose clothes to make a favourable impression of some kind on the people they meet in particular circumstances. Finally, those people who have no interest in fashion usually choose somber colours as a form of camouflage. And fashion has two important functions. Firstly, it can allow us to express or reflect our emotions through the clothes we wear. Secondly, a sense of occasion.Our clothes are indicative of our lives, the events, the emotions, the sense of nostalgia for yesterday's innocence. We like to keep clothes so that they can remind us of those old days.Please retell Unit 3 AR2: Eco-jewellery: sea glassThis passage talks about a jewellery designer Gina Cowen and her work in sea glass. Firstly, she says that there is no rule about how long chunks of glass must spend before they can officially be called sea glass, but the older, the better. Then she describes how to make the jewellery. Her decision to become a jeweller came after stints in journalismand music management in her 20s and 30s. Her favourite hunting ground is Seaham Beach in County Durham. The creation of sea glass is a form of recycling. The decline in supply, combined with an increase in demand, has produced a boom in the market. And its eco-credentials lend sea glass further appeal. If the decline in sea glass seems to suggest we should revive dumping glass, Cowen refuses to condone it. Because there will be something else to replace it.Please retell Unit 4 AR1: The credit card trapThis passage talks about lots of people are caught in the credit trap set by banks. The banks give a false sense of superiority to people with exclusive gold credit cards. They target people who are prone to impulse-buying, and potentially bad credit risks, tempted to spend more than they have, and liable to fall behind with repayments. They lure impoverished students with unrealistic interest rates. They charge people who go over the limit the exorbitant interest but omit to tell them the interest paid is not for the debt, but for the overspend of the overdraft. The writer hope that we lay out all of our credit cards in a line, take a large pair of scissors and cut them into small pieces, then send them back to our bank. In a word, keep away from the credit card trap, and have a reasonable consumption.Please retell Unit 4 AR2: Look after yourselfThis passage talks about that the writer’s birthday is in a few weeks, and she has a somewhat unusual birthday present in mind---a puppy. However, their family isn’twealthy by any means. Her father I an actor. He learns that the life of an actor is precarious. This made him very respectful towards money and the need to look after himself. The writer gets up the courage to tell her father what she wants. Although her father can’t afford that. He doesn’t deny it. He shows her their expenditure on household bills. He said that before they could spend money on puppies, they had to pay all the bills. The writer starts to work out all the costs over the dog's life and look for a job to earn some money. On her birthday, she gets her puppy. The writer thanks her daddy for everything he taught her to look after herself.Please retell Unit 5 AR1: Sex differences in English gossip rulesThis passage talks about the differences in gossip between men and women. Researchers have found that men gossip as much as women and men spend much more time talking about themselves. And the men define “gossip”as “exchanging information”. There’re three reasons why female gossip sounds like gossip. Firstly, the tone rule. Women think that the gossip-tone should be high and quick, or a stage whisper, but always highly animated. But men gossip in the same flat, unemotional manner as any other piece of information. Secondly, the detail rule. Females stressed the importance of detail in the telling of gossip. But men find all this detail boring, irrelevant and unmanly. Thirdly, the feedback rule. a good gossip needs appreciative listeners who give appropriate feedback. But men who did respond in the approved female manner would sound inappropriately girly, or even disturbingly effeminate. For men, a suitable expletive can convey their surprise.Please retell Unit 5 AR2: Marked: women in the workplaceThis passage talks about that the extra meanings are carried by gender markers. Marking words for female tends to mark them for frivolousness. Females have to make decisions about hair, clothing, make-up and accessories, and each of those decisions carried meaning. Sexy clothes send a message that the wearer wants to be attractive and availability. A woman wearing bright colors calls attention to herself, but if she avoids bright colors, she has avoided something. When women fill out a form, women must choose among three titles, each of them marked. If a woman takes her husband’s name, it will announce that she is married and also that she is traditional. But men don’t have to make the same choices.Please retell Unit 6 AR1: Winston ChurchillThis passage talks about Winston Churchill’s life. In the summer of 1940, Britain stood alone on the brink of invasion. At that crucial time, Winston Churchill, defined what it meant to be British. When he is young, his family doesn’t give too much support. He pays for himself by doubling up as a war correspondent. He uses his dispatches to promote himself as a hero of the Boer War. He was elected as Tory MP for Oldham in the same year. And Churchill's attitude to who challenged the system was brutal. In 1911, he was made First Lord of the Admiralty. And he had the opportunity to plan a major military offensive at Gallipoli, in 1915. Gallipoli was a disaster, costing Winston his joband nearly his sanity. But his wife helps him through it. As time passes, he became a has-been. But he returned when he was 65 years old. And he died in 1965. In a word, Churchill is an instinctive, daring, often infuriating war leader. But he is also an inspiration.。

UNIT 4 1. work in corporate America In today’s American jobs are not what they used to be.Not long ago,when a father was asked about his job he could answer in terms that a child could come to grips with.Nowadays,when the parent take his offspring to his place of business in glass buildings that are really incomprehensive to children.What’s more,it’s safe bet that even grown men have trouble visualizing what other men does in their jobs with his day.Therefore,it’s not difficult to imagine a poor child may answer”mulling over” after it beats me the mysteries of work,when his friends asks him of his father’s job.
3.2the mystery of Girl with a Pearl Earring The painting Girl with a Pearl Earring is one of Dutch painter Johannes Vermeer’s masterworks.It shows a striking young woman wearing an exotic costume and a turban,peering over her shoulder straight out at the viewer.As the name implies,it uses a pearl earring for a focal point.It has been referred to as the Mona Lisa of the north,because,like Leonardo da Vinci’s painting,it appears to be a simple likeness of a woman with an enigmatic smile,yet which contains levels of meanings and questions.So much mystery in the painting contributes to its worldwide popularity and generates a thoroughly rewarding novel and a well-composed film.

大英3课文SummaryUNIT 11.1 catching crabsIn the fall of our final year,our mood changed.The relaxed atmosphere had disappeared, and peer group pressure to work hard was strong. Meanwhile,at the back of everyone’s mind was what we would do next after graduation. As for me,I wanted to travelandto be a writer.Though my fatherwanted me to go to law school,and follow his path,he finally supported what I wanted .Then by watching crabs,my father told me not to be pulled back by others.1.2We are all dyingLife is short.We never quite know when we will died.So there’s no need to putour dreams aside until the right time arrives.Now is the time to do what we want to do. Make the best of our short stay and fill our life with the riches on offer so that when the r eaper arrives,we’ve achieved much instead of regrets.UNIT 22.1supermanThe extract from Johnny Panic and the Bible of Dreamsis a combination of Sylvia Plath’s real life and imaginary life in her childhood.In the real life,Plath was a winner of the prize for drawing the best signs,lived by an airport and had an Uncle who bore resemblance to Superman.In herimagination,the airport was her Mecca and Jerusalem because of her flying dreams.Superman fulfilled her dream.David Stirling,a bookish boy,also worship Superman.During the recess He and the author played Superman games during the spare time and they have a sense of superiority.And they also found a stand-in.2.2cultual childhoodsHistorically,childhood has undergone enormous transformations in children’s responsibilities and parental expectations.Culturally,childhood is socially constructed.The interplay of history and cultural leads to different understanding of childhood,therefore, it is advisable not to impose ideas from one culture to understand childhood in another culture. UNIT 33.1how we listenFor the sake of clarify,we divide the process of listening to music into three planes.Firstly,the sensuous plane.It is a kind of brainless but attractive state of mind engendered by the the pure music.Secondly,the expressive plane.It is when we believe each piece of music has a theme,which mirrors a different world of feeling.Thirdly,the musical plane.It is the ability to experience different musical elements,such as melodies,the rhythms,the harmonies,the tone colors etc.We usually listen to music on all three planes.3.2the mystery of Girl with a Pearl EarringThe painting Girl with a Pearl Earring is one of Dutch painter Johannes Verme er’s masterworks.It shows a young woman,peering over her shoulder straight out at the viewer.As the name implies,it uses a pearl earring for a focal point.It has been referred to as the Mona Lisa of the north,it appears to be a simple likeness of a woman with an mysterious smile.So much mystery in the painting contributes to its worldwide popularity and generates anovel and film.UNIT 44.1work in corporate AmericaIn today’s American jobs are not what they used to be.Not long ago,whena father was asked about his job he could answer,While nowadaysthe parent are really incomprehensive.What’s more,even grown men have trouble visualizing what other men does in their jobs.Therefore,it’s easy to imagine a child may confused when his friends asks him of his father’s job.4.2our supposedly exciting times are really rather dullLiving in a world of unprecedented and dazzling change,there are never been anything quite like it.However,we are just ignorant of/about deeper historical patterns,take globalization for example,from historical context point of view,the world is almost meaningless.We simply do not live in aage of great technological innovation for all our enthusiasm about internet and iPod.With staggering 90 percent of all web traffic is local,we are always b e told the Internet has “opened up”the world.As the Chinese curse runs “May you live in interesting times”,it can bring chaos and anxiety in the in the wake.UNIT 55.1dinner at Joanne’sWhen a young black man arrives in a crowded and expensive restaurant,the head waiter makes him sit in the least comfortable place,even though a table has been booked for him and a “Ms Rogers”. When Ms Rogers arrives,the waiter realizes that she is a well-known Senator; and Ms Roger realizes that her friend has been treated badly because of the color of his skin.The waiter realizes his mistake too,and tries to make up for it,but it’s too late.5.2we theyThe writer uses stories about doing business between Swedes and Saudis to illustrate the differences between an individualist and a collectivist approach to business. They have different concepts of the role of personal relationships in business. The Swedes believe the business is done with a company while the Saudis think it should be done with a person they know and trust.Then the writer compares the characteristics of the collectivist and those of the individualist.In the most collectivist societies,the families are usually extended families while in the individualist societies,nuclear families are prevalent. Peo ple consider themselves as part of a “we”group or in-group in the collectivist societies.In contrast, the individualist think of themselves as “I”,their personal identity which is distinct from other people’s. A practical and psychological dependence relationship develops between the person and the in-group in the collectivist societies. However, rarely do people depend on a group in the individualist societies.UNIT 66.1 Last man downThe text from Last Ma Down offers an eyewitness account of defining historical event of 9/11 attack from the perspective of Richard Picciotto, a firefighter; his story is that of a man, a hero,and a tragic event that inspired the nation. His recount isn’t one of death and destruction, but a celebration of life and it’s unpred ictable nature.6.2 Eleanor RooseveltThe passage offers a hero who contrasts with brave firefighters. This time she is a woman of power and previlege who still wanted to devote herself to the success she believed in.Living in a male-dominated world, Eleanor Roosevelt showed growing concern for women’s issues, along with those for labor issues,youth and civil rights issues.Eleanor created new First Lady profile.

现代大学英语精读4unit1课文summaryLesson 1Thinking as a Hobby William Golding While I was still a boy,I came to the conclusion that there were three grades of thinking; and thatl myself could not think at all.It was the headmaster of my grammar school who first brought the subject of thinkingbefore me.He had somestatuettes in his study. They stood on a high cupboard behind his desk. One was a ladywearing nothing but a bath towel. She seemed frozen in an eternal panic lest the bath towel slipdown any farther, and since she had no arms, she was in an unfortunate position to pull the towelup again. Next to her, crouched the statuette of a leopard, ready to spring down at the top drawer of a filing cabinet. Beyond the leopard was a naked, muscular gentleman, who sat, looking down, with his chin on his fist and his elbow on his knee. He seemed utterly miserable.Some time later,I learned about these statuettes. The headmaster had placed them where they would face delinquent children, because they symbolized to him to whole of life. The naked lady was the Venus. She was Love. She was not worried about the towel. She was just busy being beautiful. The leopard was Nature, and he was being natural. The naked, muscular gentleman was not miserable. He was Rodin's Thinker, an image of pure thought.I had better explain that I was a frequent visitor to the headmaster's study, because of the latest thing I had done or left undone. As we now say,I was not integrated.I was, if anything, disintegrated. Whenever Ifound myself in a penal position before the headmaster's desk,I would sink my head, and writhe one shoe over the other.The headmaster would look at me and say,"What are wegoing to do with you?"Well, what were they going to do with me? I would writhe my shoe some more and staredown at the worn rug."Look up, boy! Can't you look up?"Then I would look at the cupboard, where the naked lady was frozen in her panic and themuscular gentleman contemplated the hindquarters of the leopard in endless gloom.I had nothing to say tothe headmaster. His spectacles caught the light so that you could see nothing human behind them.There was no possibility of communication."Don't you ever think at all?"No,I didn't think,wasn't thinking,couldn't think-I was simply waiting in anguish for the interview to stop."Then you'd better learn-hadn't you?"On one occasion the headmaster leaped to his feet,reached up and put Rodin's masterpiece on the desk before me."That's what a man looks like when he's really thinking."Clearly there was something missing in me.Nature had endowed the rest of the human race with a sixth sense and left me out.But like someoneborn deaf,but bitterly determined to find out about sound,I watched my teachers to find outabout thought.There was Mr.Houghton.He was always telling me to think.With a modest satisfaction,he would tell that he had thought a bit himself.Then why did he spend so much time drinking? Or was there more sense in drinking than there appeared to be? But if not, and if drinking were in fact ruinous to health-and Mr. Houghton was ruined, there was no doubt about that-why was he always talking about the clean life and the virtues of fresh air?Sometimes, exalted by his own oratory, he would leap from his desk and hustle usoutside into a hideous wind."Now, boys! Deep breaths! Feel it right down inside you-huge draughts of God's good air!"He would stand before us, put his hands on his waist and take a tremendous breath. You could hear the wind trapped in his chest and struggling with all the unnatural impediments. His body would reel withshock and his face go white at the unaccustomed visitation. He would stagger back to his desk and collapse there, useless for the rest of the morning.。

Unit 1The Tail of Fame SummeryThe text is an argumentation which tries to convince us that seeking fame sometimes leads to one’s own destruction.The conquest of fame is difficult at best and along with fame and fortune there come some negative effects which could be disastrous. Firstly, even if an artist succeeded by developing their talent, it would be hard to sustain the audience’s lasting enthusiasm. Secondly, famous artists often have a distinctive style. But this also limits them in that they don’t have the freedom to express themselves with other styles or forms. Finally, the pressure to keep public attention can be too much for some artists. They have to please the audience sometimes against their own will. Curiously enough, those who fail reap the greatest reward and enjoy the freedom to express themselves in the style they like. And they even comfort themselves that their genius is too sophisticated for contemporary audiences. Failure has motivated some artists to work even harder to succeed. People may find that once they have conquered fame, it is not really what they want. So they should be happy with who they are and what they do.Unit 2Charlie Chaplin Summary:Chaplin is a great comic not only for his own mother country but more for the world. Chaplin’s Tramp was considered a little crude and thought that he had too much of an eye for the ladies and that his clothes gave him an appearance more like an Italian waiter than anything else. He resisted making a talking movie until 1936 when he made up a nonsense language which sounded like no known nationality. Chaplin achieved great success because he was an immensely talented man and the kind of comic who used his physical senses to invent his art as he went along. However, the collision between the need to be loved and the fear of being betrayed resulted in disaster in his emotional life which was shown in his movies. Eventually, life gave Chaplin the stable happiness, that is, his marriage with Oona O’Neil. Chaplin died on Christmas Day 1977.Unit 3Longing for a New Welfare System SummaryThe passage explores the problems of the present welfare system first and then expresses the desire to have a new system. According to the author, a disabled person with spinal cord injuries, he is forced to account for every penny while enduring lectures by the caseworkers. It is hard to have his wheelchair repaired and even harder to make a gradual shift away from welfare. That is why he longs for a new system under which the disabled like him can earn part or all of their own livings. The passage is composed of three parts: how people behave under the present welfare system, what are the problems with it, and what solutions should be applied to the problems. The organization of the whole passage goes after the problem-solution pattern, spiced throughout with examples taken from the author’s own experiences. Unt4 SectionA Telecommunications Revolutionsummary Telecommunications is widely conceived as a keyto developing countries’dream of jumping into the modern world. Although there is somedispute asto how _fast_ they can push ahead with their plans, different developing countries are still seeking their own ways of leaping over their__backwardness_with one jump in this direction. Surely, they will catch up with _developed__countries on the information super-highway as long as they _persist _in their efforts.Unit Section A Choose to Be Alone on Purpose Summary The reading passage focuses on a social phenomenon — choosing to be alone on purpose. The passage mainly tells us: what living alone is, what people think of living alone, who prefer living alone, the author’s comments on living alone and what he advises for living in solitude. In the U.S., about 22 million people live alone for various reasons. While some people think of loneliness as a sort of national disease, others take it as a characteristic of an American hero. Some great poets and philosophers in the past lived in solitude for inspiration, such as William Wordsworth, John Milton and Henry David Thoreau. However, solitude is hard for people because the need to talk is more basic than the need to listen. So if one lives in solitude, he should stay rational and settle down to enjoy grace and pleasure.Unit 6 Section A Bribery and Business Ethics SummaryBribery in various forms is on the increase in many countries, and even a way of life for centuries. If an official clearly tells that if you offer him a substantial bribe, you’ll easily get an import license and avoid “procedure delays”, do you pay up or stand by your principles? Bribery and other questionable payments indeed have become a fact of commercial life. We divide these payments into three broad categories. The first category consists of substantial payments made for political purposes or to secure major contracts. The second category covers payments made to obtain quicker official approval of some project, to speed up the wheel of government. The third category involves payments made into countries where it is traditional to pay people to help with the passage of a business deal.But how to prohibit bribery in all its forms? ICC favors a code of conduct that would ban the giving and seeking of bribes. Unfortunately, opinions differ among the members of ICC concerning how to enforce the code. Anyway, today’s businessman will frequently meet situations where it is difficult to square his business interests with his moral conscience.本次考试作文是英语四级真题以及预测题的图片描述题。

↓↓↓大英3课文SummaryUNIT 11.1 catching crabsIn the fall of our final year,our mood changed.The relaxed atmosphere had disappeared, and peer group pressure to work hard was strong. Meanwhile,at the back of everyone’s mind was what we would do next after graduation. As for me,I wanted to travel,and I wanted to be a writer.I braced myself for some resistance to the idea from my father,who wanted me to go to law school,and follow his path through life.However,he supported what I wanted but he made me think about it by watching the crabs.The cage was full of crabs. One of them was trying to escape,but each time it reached the top the other crabs pulled it back.In the end it gave up lengthy struggle to escape and started to prevent other crabs from escaping.By watching crabs,my father told me not to be pulled back by others,and to get to know himself better.1.2We are all dyingLife is short.We never quite know when we become coffin dwellers or trampled ash in the rose garden of some local ceremony.So there’s no point in putting our dreams on the back burner until the right time arrives.Now is the time to do what we want to do. Make the best of our short stay and fill our life with the riches on offer so that when the reaper arrives,we’ve achieved much instead of regrets.UNIT 22.1supermanThe extract from Johnny Panic and the Bible of Dreams by Sylvia Plath is a combination of her real life and imaginary life in her childhood.In the real life,Plath was a winner of the prize for drawing the best Civil Defense signs,lived by an airport and had an Uncle who bore resemblance to Superman.In her imagination,the airport was her Mecca and Jerusalem because of her flying dreams.Superman fulfilled her dream at the moment.David Stirling,a bookish boy,also worship Superman.During the recess at school,he and the author played Superman pared with their school-mates who played the routine games,they felt they were outlaws but had a sense of windy superiority.They also found a stand-in,Sheldon Fein, who later invented tortures.2.2cultual childhoodsHistorically,childhood has undergone enormous transformations in terms of children’s responsibilities and parental expectations.Culturally,childhood is socially constructed.The interplay of history and cultural leads to different understanding of childhood,consequently it is advisable not to impose ideas from one culture to understand childhood in another culture.UNIT 33.1how we listenFor the sake of clarify,we split up the process of listening to music into three hypothetical planes.Firstly,the sensuous plane.It is a kind of brainless but attractive state of mind engenderedby the mere sound appeal of the music.Secondly,the expressive plane.It is when we believe each piece of music has a theme,which mirrors a different world of feeling,such asgaiety,sadness.Thirdly,the musical plane.It is the ability to experience different musical elements,such as melodies,the rhythms,the harmonies,the tone colors etc.We usually listen to music on all three planes.3.2the mystery of Girl with a Pearl EarringThe painting Girl with a Pearl Earring is one of Dutch painter Johannes V ermeer’s masterworks.It shows a striking young woman wearing an exotic costume and a turban,peering over her shoulder straight out at the viewer.As the name implies,it uses a pearl earring for a focal point.It has been referred to as the Mona Lisa of the north,because,like Leonardo da Vinci’s painting,it appears to be a simple likeness of a woman with an enigmatic smile,yet which contains levels of meanings and questions.So much mystery in the painting contributes to its worldwide popularity and generates a thoroughly rewarding novel and a well-composed film.UNIT 44.1work in corporate AmericaIn today’s American jobs are not what they used to be.Not long ago,when a father was asked about his job he could answer in terms that a child could come to grips with.Nowadays,when the parent take his offspring to his place of business in glass buildings that are really incomprehensive to children.What’s more,it’s safe bet t hat even grown men have trouble visualizing what other men does in their jobs with his day.Therefore,it’s not difficult to imagine a poor child mayanswer”mulling over” after it beats me the mysteries of work,when his friends asks him of his father’s job.4.2our supposedly exciting times are really rather dullLiving in a world of unprecedented/dazzling change,there are never been anything quite likeit.However,we are just ignorant of/about deeper historical patterns,take globalization for example,from historical context point of view,the world is almost meaningless.We simply do not live in a age of great technological innovation for all our enthusiasm about internet and iPod.With staggering 90 percent of all web traffic is local,we are always be told the I nternet has “opened up”the world.As the Chinese curse runs “May you live in interesting times”,it can bring chaos and anxiety in the in the wake.UNIT 55.1dinner at Joanne’sWhen a young black man arrives in a crowded and expensive restaurant,the head waiter makes him sit in the least comfortable place,even though a table has been booked for him and a “Ms Rogers”.When Ms Rogers arrives,the waiter realizes that she is a well-known Senator; and Ms Roger realizes that her friend has been treated badly because of the color of his skin.The waiter realizes his mistake too,and tries to make up for it,but it’s too late.5.2we theyThe writer uses stories about doing business between Swedes and Saudis to illustrate the differences between an individualist and a collectivist approach to business. They have different concepts of the role of personal relationships in business. The Swedes believe the business is donewith a company while the Saudis think it should be done with a person they know and trust.Then the writer compares the characteristics of the collectivist and those of the individualist.In the most collectivist societies,the families are usually extended families while in the individualist societies,nuclear families are prevalent. People consider themselves as part of a “we”group or in-group in the collectivist societies.In contrast, the individualist think of themselves as “I”,their personal identity which is distinct from other people’s. A practical and psychological dependence relationship develops between the person and the in-group in the collectivist societies. However, rarely do people depend on a group in the individualist societies.UNIT 66.1 Last man downThe text from Last Ma Down offers an eyewitness account of defining historical event of 9/11 attack from the perspective of Richard Picciotto, a firefighter; his story is that of a man, a hero,and a tragic event that inspired the nation. His recount isn’t one of death and destruction, but a celebration of life and it’s unpredictable nature.6.2 Eleanor RooseveltThe passage offers a hero who contrasts with brave firefighters. This time she is a woman of power and previlege who still wanted to devote herself to the sucess she believed in.Living in a male-dominated world, Eleanor Roosevelt showed gro wing concern for women’s issues, along with those for labor issues,youth and civil rights issues.Eleanor created new First Lady profile. She held a press conference for the female only. She was a great supporter for FDR, her wheel-bound husband, whose career as the US president offered her opportunity to come into her own.After FDR’s departure, she still held public posts to use her power to her beliefs.Anna Eleanor Roosevelt never ran on a par with men, she set the place.。

Unit 1Dr. Rob Boll and his family were enjoying their church's annual fund-raising dinner when a 76-year-old lady choked on a piece of turkey and lost consciousness. The old lady's family tried the Heimlich maneuver, but it did not work.Dr. Rob Boll rushed to the old lady's rescue. Although under his direction Steve Hoblin managed to pull out a piece of turkey, the old lady was still not breathing. Dr. Boll realized that his only chance was to perform an emergency tracheotomy. Though he was only a family doctor who had never done the operation before, seeing that the patient was in such a critical situation, he went ahead with the operation using a simple switchblade. Thanks to Dr. Boll's brave heart and calm mind, the operation succeeded. Dr. Boll was so amazed by this "miracle" that he attributed the success to divine intervention.Unit 3With more and more kids logging on to the Internet, cyber-bullying has become a serious social problem. Cyber-bullying takes various forms, such as sending threatening messages, displaying private messages, and posting embarrassing videos and photos online.Researchers have pointed out that cyber-bullying can have an even more detrimental effect on the victim than conventional playground bullying. There are two main reasons for this: First, a sheer number of people can view something posted online. Secondly, the always-on feature of Internet culture makes it impossible for the victim to escape cyber-bullying.Anonymity is also to blame for widespread cyber-bullying, as it encourages people to act aggressively online. Anonymity amplifies the negative effect of cyber-bullying, as the victim has no idea who the bully is. In the meanwhile, it tempts bullies to new levels of cruelty because they do not see how miserable their victims are.To protect kids from cyber-bullying, legislative actions must be taken, but more importantly, the whole society should get involved.Unit 4Near Sleepy Hollow is a village called Tarry Town, in which there was a teacher named Ichabod Crane. He was tall and thin, just like a crane. He fell in love with Katrina, the only daughter of a rich Dutch farmer, a blooming lass of fresh eighteen. Ichabod Crane's rival was a strong young man named Brom Van Brunt, a hero to all the young ladies.It was rumored that in the valley a headless horseman could be seen at night looking for his lost head. One night, on his way home after enjoying the big party at Katrina's house, Ichabod Crane found himself confronted with the headless horseman. He could not escape from this spectre, for all his efforts. Then, to his great horror, he saw the headless horseman pick up his head and throw it with a powerful force. The head hit him in the face and knocked him off his horse.The next day people found his horse, his hat, and a broken pumpkin. Ichabod disappeared once and for all, and Katrina married Brom. Whenever Ichabod or the pumpkin was mentioned, Brom would smile or laugh.Unit5Of all the theories concerned with the origin and evolution of the universe, the Big Bang model is the best known. This model originated from Hubble's Law, which was formed by Edwin Hubble in 1929, holding that the universe is expanding in every direction. Therefore, it's reasonable to assume that, if the universe is currently growing, then the universe was smaller in the past. Along this line of reasoning, there must have been a time when the universe was an extremely small point. Out of this point the universe exploded into existence. The expansion of the universe lends strong support to the Big Bang theory. Another major line of evidence is the Cosmic Microwave Background radiation (CMB). The Big Bang model predicts that once the universe had reached 300,000 years old, photons could move about freely. The CMB, this "first light" in the universe, is a strong indication of the Big Bang. The third major evidence is that the amounts of elements observed all agree at least roughly with those predicted by the Big Bang theory. The last is that the Big Bang theory comprehensively lays down a framework for the eventual evolution of the universe.Unit7One day I had a tiny accident: I broke my key in the lock when trying to unlock the door to go to work. So I called a locksmith, who came immediately. To my surprise, he insisted on being paid cash in advance, which I was incapable of providing, and declaring professional ethics, then left me alone! Thinking I could resort to other solutions, I called some twenty locksmith shops, but they all flatly refused me as I had been put on their blacklist. Then I called the janitor, my girlfriend, and my colleagues, who all turned me down for various reasons. In desperation, I shouted from the tenth floor of my building and even threw typed messages down onto the street, but nothing came of it. What was worse, my telephone was cut off for nonpayment and then they cut off my gas, electricity, and water. So I was trapped alone indoors and had to survive on my own by catching rain water, breeding insects and spiders, etc. Year after year, I have become used to this new lifestyle and feel relatively happy.Unit8In the story, the narrator wanted accident insurance not for traveling by rail, but for lying at home in bed, which went contrary to common sense — there always exists the likelihood of losing one's life in traveling by air, by train, or in any vehicle. This is because the narrator found that the peril lay not in traveling, but in staying at home. The narrator compares the danger of traveling in a vehicle, especially by train, with that of lying in bed. Availing himself of considerable hard statistics he shows the reader that chances are greatest for human beings to die in bed. Therefore, the narrator suggests it would be wise of us to stay away from home unless we have to, unless we have bought ourselves a package of insurance tickets and sit up nights without going to bed.。

genderbiasinlanguage课文summaryLanguage is a very powerful element. It is the most common method of communication. Yet it is often misunderstood and misinterpreted, for language is a very complicated mechanism with a great deal of nuance. There are times when in conversation with another individual, that we must take into account the person’s linguistic genealogy. There are people who use language that would be considered prejudicial or biased in use. But the question that is raised is in regard to language usage: Is language the cause of the bias or is it reflective of the preexisting bias that the user holds? There are those who believe that the language that we use in day-to-day conversation is biased in and of itself. They feel that the term "mailman", for example, is one that excludes women mail carriers. Then there are those who feel that language is a reflection of the prejudices that people have within themselves. That is to say, the words that people choose to use in conversation denote the bias that they harbor within their own existence.There are words in the English language that are existing or have existed (some of them have changed with the new wave of “political correctness”coming about) that have inherently been sexually biased against women. For example, the person who investigates reported complaints (as from consumers or students), reports findings, and helps to achieve fair and impartial settlements is ombudsman(Merriam-Webster Dictionary), but ombudsperson here at Indiana State University. This is an example of the gender bias that exists in the English language. The language is arranged so that men are identified with exalted positions, and women are identified with more service-oriented positions in which they are being dominated and instructed by men. So the language used to convey this type of male supremacy is generally reflecting the honored position of the male and the subservience of the female. Even in relationships, the male in the home is often referred to as the “man of the house,”even if it is a 4-year-old child. It is highly insulting to say that a 4-year-old male, based solely on his gender, is more qualified and capable of conducting the business and affairs of the home than his possibly well-educated, highly intellectual mother. There is a definite disparity in that situation.In American culture, a woman is valued for the attractiveness of her body, while a man is valued for his physical strength and his achievements. Even in the example of word pairs the bias is evident. The masculine word is put before the feminine word, as in the examples of Mr. and Mrs., his and hers, boys and girls, men and women, kings and queens, brothers and sisters, guys and dolls, and host and hostess. This shows that the usage of many of the English words is also what contributes to the bias present in the English language.Alleen Pace Nilsenn notes that there are instances when women areseen as passive while men are active and bring things into being. She uses the example of the wedding ceremony. In the beginning of the ceremony, the father is asked who gives the bride away and he answers, “I do.”It is at this point that Nilsen argues that the gender bias comes into play. The traditional concept of the bride as something to be handed from one man (the father) to another man (the husband-to-be) is perpetuated. Another example is in the instance of sexual relationships. The women become.。
