Recognizing our personal strengths and weaknesses is useful because if we know ourselves better, we can feel more self-confident. We can be more objective, instead of being blind. The seventh way is to profit from failures and disappointments as learning experiences. If we allow ourselves to get discouraged and sad when we fail, then we will feel more unsure of ourselves. But if we think of a failure as a learning experience, we are adopting a positive attitude. By analyzing objectively why we failed and planning how to set about doing things differently we will be more likely to succeed next time.2) Modest y is used to describe a reserved appraisal of one’s merits, abilities or success, e.g. she is very modest about her accomplishments. Shyness is used to describe the uncomfortable feeling one has in the company of others. It often implies a lack of self-confidence and a timid, reserved manner. Modesty is a good personality trait while shyness in many cases is undesirable.3) Yes, it is appropriate and normal to be shy in some circumstances: in the presence of teachers, your boss, your parents’ friends or you r prospective in-laws; when you are dating someone, especially the first time; when you are with strangers; when you are in a new environment; when you’re facing a large audience.V ocabulary1.

But Parrot told his wife to bring out all the hard and sharp, not the soft, things instead.16) His shell was broken into hundreds of pieces.2. Ekwefi is telling a story about Tortoise. Long long ago, there was a famine, and the birds got an invitation from the sky to attend a feast there. Tortoise learned about it and with his sweet tongue he persuaded the birds to take him with them and so each bird lent him a feather.103fTortoise cunningly thought of an idea that enabled him to have all the food by naming himself ―All of you.‖ When they reached the sky, they received a warm welcome and soon the food was presented to them. Then he asked one of the people in the sk y: ―For whom have you prepared all this feast?‖ The man replied: ―For all of you.‖ So he ate almost all the best food. The birds became very angry and took back their feathers before flying home. Without feathers, he had to jump onto the ground and his shell was broken into pieces.3. Acting out the StorySampleBird A: How exciting! All of us are invited to the feast in the sky.Bird B: I just can’t wait. What do you think I should wear?Tortoise: Hello. Good morning. What are you excited about?Bird A: Di dn’t you know that we are going to the sky?Bird B: And we are going to have a big dinner. What fun!Tortoise: How nice it is. What lucky guys. May I go with you?I’m sure we’ll have a lot of fun. Bird A: Yes, we’ll have great fun, but not you. We know you too well. You are full of cunning and you are ungrateful.Bird B: If we allow you to come with us, you will soon begin your mischief.Bird A: We know you of old.Tortoise: You don’t know me now. I’m a changed man. I am not the mischievous man you once knew. In fact, I am thoughtful and well-meaning. I have learned that a man who makes trouble for others is also making trouble for himself. Rest assured, I promise you I will not cause you any trouble.Bird A: (Talking to Bird B) Maybe he is a changed man now. Let’s talk to our bird friends and see if we will take him with us.(After a brief discussion with all the other birds)Bird B: Ok. Tortoise, now we all agreed to take you to the sky. Each of us will lend you a feather so that you can have two wings to fly.(During the flight to the party)Bird A: Tortoise is a great orator!Bird B: Let’s make him t he spokesperson for the party.Tortoise: Did you know that we need a new name when we are invited to a great feast like this? It is an age-old custom and our hosts in the sky will expect us to honor it.Bird A: We haven’t heard of this before. But as you a re such a learned man, if you say this, we will choose a new name for ourselves. I will call myself Good-Looking.Bird B: I am Smart-Ass.Tortoise: And my new name is All of You.(On their arrival at the sky)Sky people: Welcome to the sky, our dear bird friends. Weare so pleased to see you again. Please make yourselves at home.Tortoise: My dear respected friends, thank you so much for inviting us to the sky. Nothing can make us happier than this. It is our greatest honor to be here and have a good time with you.Sky people: Thank you for your nice words. Now please help yourselves to the nuts.Bird A: Tortoise is really eloquent, isn’t he? I’m glad we decided to bring him with us.Bird B: Yes. And these are delicious nuts.Sky people: Now the dinner is ready. Please enjoy the soup, meat, fish and pounded yam. Here is palm wine, too.Tortoise: Just a moment. Let me ask you first. For whom have you prepared this feast?Sky people: For whom? Why? For all of you, of course.Tortoise (T o the birds): You remember that my name is All of You. The custom here is to serve the spokesman first and the others later. They will serve you when I finish.Sky people (To themselves): Looks like it is their custom to leave all the food to their king first. T ortoise: Mm. Yumm y. Mm. I’m full now. You can start to eat.Bird A: We should never bring him here. I am too angry to eat. I’m going home.Bird B: Wait. I am leaving, too. Take the feather with us.Tortoise: What are you doing? Leave me the feather. Oh, how am I going home without a single feather? You can’t do this to me?Birds: Bye.Tortoise: Could someone take a message for my wife? Tell her to bring out everything soft a nd cover the ground. …4. Taking SidesSamples1) -- I don’t admire Tortoise’s cleverness. He was un wise to cheat all the birds. After his mischief, how could he have face to live together with them any longer? He would have no friends at all. He was clever, bu103ft at the same time he was also stupid. When all the birds became so angry, how could he have trusted Parrot? He should have jumped into the sea to avoid being hurt.-- I admire Tortoise’s cleverness. He was a guy who knew where to look for a nice dinner during a time of famine. He knew very well how to get trust from others. He was also quick-minded. His only mistake was that he should not be so greedy as not to leave any nice food for the birds.--I sympathize with the birds. They took Tortoise with them to the sky out of kindness, but after flying such a long distance, they had to fly back home on an empty stomach. They were formally invited, but the food was enjoyed by Tortoise, who hadn’t been formally invited. I think the birds were very unlucky.-- I think the birds are stupid. They knew very well that Tortoise couldn’t be trusted as he was always mischievous. But they persuaded themselves that he was a changed man. At the party they should have let the sky people know Tortoise was not their king and they had the right to have some of the nice food, as they were the guests.2) I le arned from the story that a) we should be honest, and shouldn’t cheat others. If we cheat others, we will be punished in the end; b) we shouldn’t be carried aw ay by sweet words, like the birds; c) a leopard can’t change its spots, nor can Tortoise. He was cunning, he could never change his personality andbehave himself.V ocabulary1. 1) A. invitation B. invited C. inviting2) A. prepare B. prepared C. preparation D. preparatory/preparation3) A. discoveries B. discoverers C. discovered4) A. approval B. approve C. approved D. approving E. disapprove5) A. eloquent B. eloquence C. eloquently6) A. faithful B. unfaithful/faithless C. faith D. faithfully7) A. occasional B. occasionally C. occasion8) A. delivery B. delivering C. delivered9) A. troublesome/trouble B. troubled C. troubled D. troubling10) A. assurance B. assured C. assure2. 1) ran/got into trouble 2) no trouble 3) asking for trouble4) have…troubl e 5) trouble with 6) in seri ous/deep/big trouble7) get/getting…into trouble 8) took the trouble3.1) with a pattern of roses2) prepared a wonderful/good meal for us3) promised faithfully4) deliver this letter5) a selection of milk and plain chocolate6) keep out of mischief/behave themselves7) the sound of distant thunder8) received approval from the government9) in spite of the fact that he drank too much10) agree whether the drug is safe or notPart ThreeFURTHER Development1. 1)CCABA 6)BABBA 11)BA5.1)the true reason why there was no such animal in Guizhou2)they were useless in this place3)When he suddenly saw the donkey, he thought it was a monster4)He hid himself in the tree while looking at donkey5)What kind of animal is this and why does it look different from other animal that I've ever seen6)But one day the donkey stretched its thin neck and cried 7)the tiger found that the donkey didn't have any other skills besides crying8)But he dared not rush to it and eat it just as he did to other animals9)This did make the donkey angry,so it raised its hind leg and kicked the tiger10)This time he rushed to it without hesitation and bit is throatPart Four Writing and Translation2.

Theopposite of modesty is arrogance or boastfulness. Modest people don’t want to talk about theirabilities or achievements. Modest people know their strengths and their worth, but choose to downplay their greatness and be humble. So modesty is the result of confidence. Shyness is used to describe the uncomfortable feeling one has in the company of others. It often implies a lack of self-confidence and a timid, reserved manner. Modesty is a good personality trait while shyness in many cases is undesirable.3) B eing shy isn’t necessarily a bad thing. It is appropriate and normal to be shy in some circumstances, for example, in the presence of teachers, your boss, your parents’ friends or your prospective in-laws; when you are dating someone, especially the first time; when you are with stranger s; when you are in a new environment; when you’re facing a large audience. In fact, it can even be helpful to be a little shy. When you’re shy and keep silent, you may spend a little time observing the surroundings and people around before jumping right into the new situation.Vocabulary1. “Self-”is a prefix which means “of, to or by oneself or itself” .Words with the prefix “self-” that appear in the text: self-conscious, self-concept, self-assurance, self-worth, self-confidence, self-esteem, self-destructive, self-awareness, self-acceptance, self-rejection, self-confident.1) self-conscious (worried and embarrassed about what you look like or what other people think of you)2) self-confidence (belief in one’s own ability, power, judgment, etc.; confidence in oneself)3) self-esteem (the feeling that you are someone who deserves to be liked, respected, or admired)4) self-destructive (with thoughts or actions that are counter to one’s own best interests)5) self-worth (the value you give to your life and achievements)6) self-concept (one’s conception or general idea of one’s own basic character and nature)7) self-awareness (realistic knowledge and judgment about oneself)8) self-assurance/self-confidence (the belief that you are able to deal with people and problems easily)2.

Part 3Further Development1 Grammar ReviewSampleA: Did you hear that Tom failed the English final? He was 10 minutes late for the final because he woke up late.B: That’s too bad. But he should have asked his roommate to wake him up.A: Well anyway, he got to the classroom before the listening part finished. But then he found the batteries for his radio were dead.B: Well, he should have bought new batteries the day before.A: Yes, very true. He then had to borrow two batteries from his classmate. But when Tom was doing the exam, he found there were many words that were new to him.B: He should have spent more time memorizing new words and phrases before the exam.A: Yes, and then Tom had a splitting headache because he had studied until two in the morning.B: That’s too bad. But he really shouldn’t have stayed up the night before the exam.A: And what’s more, Tom was so afraid to fail the final that he peeped at his neighbor’s paper. He was caught and would be punished.B: Really? He shouldn’t have cheated on the exam.2 Vocabulary Review1 A Though / Although B though C thoughA Both “although” and “though” can be used as conjunctions to introduce a subordinate clause of concession (让步状语从句) in which you mention something which contrasts with what you are saying in the main clause.B “Though” is sometimes used as an adverb. When used as an adverb, it is not used at the beginning of a clause. “Although” cannot be used as an adverb.C When a clause beginning with “though” ends with a complement or adverb, you can bring the complement or adverb forward to the beginning of the clause. However, when a clause beginning with “although” ends with a complement or adverb, you cannot move the complement or adverb to the beginning of the clause.2 A reply / answer B answer C replyingBoth “answer” and “reply” can be used as nouns and verbs. With a noun object we use the verb “answer” or “reply to”. e.g. We must answer / reply to these questions as soon as possible.3 A speaks B speak C talking D speak / talkYou say that someone “speaks” or “can speak” a foreign language. If someone is giving a speech, you say they are “speaking”. If two or more people are having a conversation, you say that they are “talking”. You do not say that they are “speaking”.If you “speak to / talk to” someone, you have a conversation with them.4 A injured / hurt B hurt / injured C wounded / injured D woundsYou can be “wounded” or receive a “wound” from any attack in which a gun or sharp instrument such as a sword or knife is used. You can be “hurt” or “injured” or receive an “injury”, a) when any other weapon such as a heavy stick or bomb is used, b) in an accident. Both “wound” and “injure” are more serious than “hurt”. Note that “hurt”can be used as an intransitive verb but not “wound” or “injure”. e.g. It hurts when I try to move my leg.5 A houses B apartment, apartmentsA “house” is a building for people to live in and often has more than one level. An“apartment” in American English or a “flat” in British English refers to a set of rooms within a larger building, usually on one level.6 A aside B apart C aside / apartBoth “aside” and “apart” can be used as adverbs. “Aside” means “away or to the side”.“Apart” means “separated by a distance”. The phrase “aside from / apart from” meansa) except for, b) in addition to.7 A requests B requested C demanded D demandsBoth “request” and “demand” mean “ask for sth. or ask sb. to do sth.”. “Request” is more formal and stronger than “ask (for)”. “Demand” is even stronger. If you “demand” something, you feel strongly that you have the right to get it, and will not take “no” for an answer. Both “request” and “demand” can be used as a verb or as a noun. A “request” for something is a polite demand for it.8 A border B boundaryThe word “border” refers to the dividing line between two countries or states or the land near that line. A “boundary” is a precise line marking the outer limits of an area.3 Roommates and FriendsSTEP ONESampleIn addition to those listed in the book, my ideal roommate would also be: someone who does not smoke; a responsible and honest person; someone who does not snore while sleeping; the best student in my class; someone who does not stay up too late;an independent person; someone who does not interfere in my private affairs; a tolerant person; a trustworthy person, etc.STEP TWOSample• No, I don’t think roommates are usually friends. Living in the same room doesn’t necessarily mean that friendships will develop. Although roommates are usually friendly to each other, not all of them are friends because friendliness is not always an indication of friendship. It’s true with classmates. Only when people have similar interests and a common outlook on life will they become friends or close friends.• I think more often than not roommates will become friends. Obviously, roommates spend much time together and therefore will learn a lot about each other. When people get to know each other, friendship often develops. Many people could have become friends if they had met and got together often or long enough. Sharing rooms paves the way to friendship. We often hear older people say they were roommates or classmates and therefore good friends. It doesn’t mean roommates will surely become friends. They’re more likely to become friends.4 It Made Me Feel So GoodSTEP TWOSample• As a newcomer in this university, the first letter I’ve received here is from my best friend, Dong Ming. Dong Ming and I were classmates in high school and we spent a lot of time together, studying, talking and playing around. I can safely say that not a single day was spent without our being together during our senior high school years.But now we’re studying at two different universities far apart from each other.His letter makes me feel as if we were together again, talking. And what’s important is not the letter itself but what he said in the letter.Dear Dong Hao,I felt sad when we left each other last Friday and yet a little happy about all the new things and the excitement ahead of us in our new college life. It’s what we want and need.One thing is very important to both of us: to make more friends and to learn to get along with others. To do so I believe we should respect others—their point of view, their way of doing things, etc. Only in this way can we make more friends and make our campus life more interesting. What do you think? I look forward to your reply.Best Wishes,Dong Ming • Sometimes I feel good about myself when I’ve been able to contribute a little bit to my relationships with others. I remember what I did for Xiao Li, my next door neighbor and good friend. Last summer Xiao Li got seriously ill and was in the hospital for five weeks.At the beginning I didn’t know what I could do for him. I went to Mom for advice.Mom thought about it for a while and said, “Well, the only thing I can tell you is to be available when he needs you—not when you want to be available.” I took Mom’s advice seriously. I called him on the phone now and then to check if he needed any help and I went to see him every day after school and did what I could for him. So when Xiao Li recovered and left the hospital I felt so happy.5 When Your Neighbor Is in Need of HelpSTEP ONESampleA young woman was walking along the streets one night when she was attacked. Shescreamed for help and managed to escape. A few minutes later her attacker caught her again and she continued screaming for help while the neighbors watched terrified from their windows and did nothing. They didn’t even call the police. The woman died of multiple stab wounds (多处刺伤).STEP TWOSample1 I think there are several reasons for that. First, people were rather cowardly andselfish. When they heard someone screaming late at night, they thought that might be dangerous so they just stood back and watched the woman get killed in front of them.They preferred to protect themselves rather than get involved to risk being injured or even killed. Second, they felt that there are already institutions in cities to deal with this kind of problem. They didn’t think they needed to intervene because the police would do something for them. Finally, it is possible that these people were so terrified that they could not think clearly or take action to protect the woman.2 I don’t know. Maybe I would go to the street and try to protect the woman. I thinkmore people would come to help if they realized what was really happening. Maybe I would call the police. But I’m afraid that when the police arrived, she might already have been killed. Or maybe I would be too scared to give any help. I might simply close the window and put my ear plugs in. These are the different things I might do on such an occasion, but I believe it’s most likely that I would call the police.Part 4Translation and Writing2 Translation Practice依靠我吧Sometimes in our lives we all have pain, we all have sorrow生活中我们会有痛苦,会有悲伤But if we are wise, we know that there’s always tomorrow.然而,聪明的我们明白总有明天(可指望)。
新编大学英语3第三单元课后练习答案第三版上课讲义
Unit 3 Social ProblemsIn-class Reading Passage课内阅读练习答案Part One Preparation1. Describing the PicturesPicture A:A couple is dining at a restaurant. Both of them are smoking. But they call and complain to the waiter, saying that those sitting at the other tables are coughing too much andthat bothers them. However, they have not realized that actually it is their smokingthat has caused those people to cough. I have seen many people who behave like thiscouple. They never take other people’s interest into consideration. They are selfish andalways ready to find fault with others. They never see their own wrong doings butalways make a false counter-charge. They are despised by most other people. Picture B: In this picture I see a strange beggar. While most beggars beg for food or drinks, this guy begs for money in order to buy wines. He wants to try all the 596,704 winesexisting in this world. He said he already tasted 38,279 wines out of that number.Suppose he tries one kind of wine one day, it would have taken him more than 100years to come so far. He is really an ambitious man. However, if he has the ambitionto try all the existing wines, he should work hard and make money himself instead ofbegging for other people’s money to enjoy what life can offer. There are some peoplelike this beggar these days. They want to enjoy life, but not based on their own hardwork or effort. They want a free lunch and many of them live on borrowed money. Idon’t think this is a good attitude towards life. Everyone should work hard to make agood living.Picture C: I see a court with a judge, a defendant and probably a lawyer in the picture. What is strange about this picture is that I find a tip pot, which is usually placed in a restaurantfor waiters or waitress. They get tips for their excellent services to their customers.Waiters or waitresses who get generous tips will provide even better service tocustomers. However, a court is a place for people to seek justice and fairness. Itpunishes the guilty and releases the innocent. If judges start to take tips, I doubt thatthere will be any more justice. People will no longer be treated equally and truth willnot be valued. Judgment will not be made based on facts, but on how big the tip is.What an evil place!Picture D: In this picture I see two men behind bars. One is telling his fellow prisoner that he did not commit the crimes that he had been accused of committing. His mistake was thathe stole the identity of a guy who had committed those crimes. The police took himfor that guy and put him in jail. They actually got the wrong person. And he wasinnocent. Was he really innocent? I don’t think so. He was a thief, and he was notinnocent at all. However, he received a heavier punishment than he deserved. So thatwas an irony. The guy stole another person’s identity and in a sense he inherited hiscrimes as well. So never take other people’s stuff, whatever it is. No one can escapepunishment.2. Interview time—the most intolerable behavior(s) in public places--I have interviewed 5 classmates, two girls and three boys. I asked each of them to list three intolerable behaviors in public places. Three of them said speaking loudly in the library was the most intolerable behavior. Library is a quiet place for students to read and do their homework. If someone speaks loudly, most of them feel interrupted and disturbed. It is hard for them to concentrate on their studies any longer. Other intolerable behaviors include knocks at a dormitory door at midnight asking about homework due the next day, someone not taking bath for a long time, letting pets pee everywhere, smoking, wearing clothes that cover very little of the body, being late for classes, banging doors, and making big noises while eating.--I asked 6 students what they thought were the most intolerable behaviors in public places. It seems that public display of love (kissing in public places and video talk with boyfriends in dorm) ranks the first. It makes those who have no boyfriend or girlfriend feel pathetic about themselves and it also makes roommates unable to concentrate on studies. Other intolerable behaviors are playing computer games in the dormitory, riding bicycles in the wrong direction, spitting, taking off one’s shoes, picking flowers from a park, shaking legs, pretending to understand others, leaving dirty clothes in the bathroom for days, doing morning exercises before 6 o’clock, jumping the queue, and letting young children pee or poo on street3. Conference on Social ProblemsChinese delegate: I think the biggest social problem in China is its large population. Many other problems arise from this, such as high housing price and the decline of natural resources. These days, food safety seems to be the biggest concern of ordinary people. Some food producers who look for big profits are using unnecessary chemicals in food production to improve the appearance and taste while reducing the cost of their products. These chemicals may be poisonous or even fatal to their consumers. At the same time, the environment is being seriously polluted in some areas. Japanese delegate: The unstable political system and frequent change of prime ministers is one of the most serious social problems in Japan. Natural disasters like earthquakes and tsunamis have also caused serious loss of people’s lives and great damage to properties as well as the country’s economic development. Being an island country, Japan lacks natural resources and is heavily dependent on imports.Russian delegate: Russia is facing many social problems, terrorism being the most serious of all. This can be traced back to the breakup of the former Soviet Union. When it was broken up, different nationalities experienced pain and conflicts. Since the privatization of the previously state-owned properties, a big gap has been created between the rich and the poor. Some people don’t trust the government any longer. Due to the extreme cold weather in winter, many Russian men are addicted to alcohol and some of them die young, leaving a larger female population. The total population of our country is, as a result, decreasing.Indian delegate: In India the biggest social problems are overpopulation, talent loss and poor infrastructure. India has a second largest population in the world next only to China, but unlike China, we don’t have a family planning policy, so the population is continuously increasing. A large part of the population lives in poverty and is unable to receive proper education. What’s more, weuse too much of the natural resources and environment pollution is getting even worse. In India, we worship certain animals like cows. They are allowed to wander on the streets, leading to frequent traffic jam and cow waste on the streets.USA delegate: We are currently experiencing the most severe economic recession in our history. It is partly caused by the international weakened financial system, but even more by the careless policies of many of our largest banks and commercial companies, and by irresponsible handling of financial matters by individuals and families. The unemployment rate in the US remains high, but is slowly improving. We have a high crime rate, including several campus shootings, and many of our metropolitan areas are unsafe much of the time. Our health care system is undergoing a reform but there is so much disagreement between the two main political parties that little progress has been made to date. Ordinary people have difficulty paying for the high cost of medical coverage, and economically deprived people have very limited medical coverage. We have overused and poorly handled many of our natural resources. The worst of all, we claim to have the best medical care in the world, but in reality it adequately covers only the higher and middle income portions of our population. All of the above have contributed to rather pessimistic feeling by many of our citizens. We also have disagreement on the global warming and other programs related to energy use, including the fact that we have been very dependent upon petroleum purchase from some Middle East countries with whom we have serious political differences, including the role of atomic energy and related atomic bombs and missiles.Part Two Reading-Centered ActivitiesPre-ReadingCase study: What would you do?To the teacher:You may:1) Prompt (if necessary) the students to think about practical issues like child-care, location of theschool, location of the apartment, work place, etc.2) Encourage the students to justify why both parents (or just one) accept the jobs.Samples1) It depends. If I were the wife, I would persuade my husband to accept the job. As for me, beforemaking a final decision, I would take into consideration such factors as child-care facilities, location of the school, location of the apartment, etc.2) Both of us will accept the jobs. On the one hand, the jobs are challenging, which is good for ourpersonal fulfillment. On the other hand, with the money we get, we could find a babysitter for our child or send him to a private school, where he may receive better education.3) Neither of us will take the job. I think parents should spend more time with their children. Achallenging, high-salary job means less time with your child. If we move to a city where we don’t have any relatives, it would be even wors e. A child who grows up with little care from parents or family is very likely to become a problem kid.Post- ReadingReading Comprehension1.

Comparing ExperiencesSamples1)In our group, two of us were latchkey children, two were taken care of by their grandparents,and one was taken care of by his mother because his mother did not work. The two who were once latchkey children had felt very much the same as the children mentioned in the passage.They felt lonely and watched TV a lot. But compared with the other students in our group, they are more independent. So in a way, it is good to leave children alone at home for some time every day.2)In our group, only one person was once a latchkey child. Both her parents were working faraway from home and she had to be on her own at home for most of the time on weekdays. The rest of us were taken care of either by our grandparents or by our parents. Every day when we came home after school, there was always somebody there waiting for us and taking care of us.We could also go out and play with other children after we had finished our homework. But sometimes we did wish to be left alone so that we could spend the time as we wished.3)I was once a latchkey child. Both my parents had to work night shifts when I was in elementaryschool. Every evening I did homework all by myself and then went to bed. I played computer games for a while if I finished my homework early. Sometimes I went to school before my parents came home. My parents knew that I could take good care of myself. They felt proud of me since I was so independent and did a good job at school. Sometimes they called me to make sure I was okay. I never felt lonely and was aware that my parents loved and cared for me.Weekends were precious time for all of us.Vocabulary1. 1) c 2) h 3) g 4) a 5) e 6) k 7) i 8) d 9) l 10) b 11) j 12) f2. 1) constantly 2) impact 3) burden 4) Candidly 5) fulfillment 6) salaried 7) resentment 8)assistance9) perfect 10) suppress3. 1) successfully 2) resentment 3) security 4) necessity 5) advisable6) access/accessibility 7) athletic 8) maturity 9) emotional 10) effectively4. Sentence-Making GameTips for teachers:Step 1: Write on the blackboard about 20 words or phrases that appear in the text. An even number is desirable since the students will be divided into 2 groups.A possible list:rise decade expense financial affect on the other hand priorityengage range forbid isolate stimulate express claim widespreadgiven work out take into consideration in case of secure arisecope with demand provideStep 2: Divide the students into two groups.Step 3: The students make sentences using the words on the blackboard. Each sentence can include more than one word and must be meaningful and grammatically correct. One point is awarded for each correctly used word. The teacher crosses out the word which has been correctly used. If the word is crossed out, it cannot be used again.Step 4: Students are encouraged to work quickly and raise their hands as soon as they come up with a sentence. The teacher works as a judge; the group that gets higher points wins.TranslationDirections: Translate the following sentences into English, using the expressions in brackets.1) Because of an emergency, the doctor will not be available for several hours.2) How will taxes affect people with low incomes?3) My mother always told me that in the long run I would be glad I didn’t give up practicing thepiano.4) The books range in price from $10 to $20.5) It seems to me that you don’t have much choice.6) Given their inexperience, they have done quite a good job.7) For such a big house the price is fairly cheap/low, but you’ve got to take into consideration themoney you will spend on repairs.8) Can we begin by discussing questions/problems arising from the last meeting?Part Three Further Development1.

(This could be silly.)(These are only for your reference, there are no definite answers.)STEP TWOReasons for reference:--- show “innocent” hearts and signs of love;--- desire to express anger against someone or something;--- express a political or social message;--- desire to be destructive;--- manifest boredom, frustration, or delinquency.--- sh ow one’s talent as a graffiti artist4. For or AgainstSamplesFor:-- The originals and goods of high quality are too expensive, especially for low-income people or students;-- Pirated products and fake/inferior goods are good for promotional purposes because books,CDs, movies, tapes and famous brands will be available or known to more people. When they can afford them in their original state they’ll surely buy them.-- Pirated products and famous brands help to make the authors of the books, CDs, movies, or tapes, and the manufacturers better known or more popular. Nobody would even know who were the producers of the pirated or fake/inferior goods.-- More people will have jobs to make these products or goods. Sure the unemployment rate will be lowered.Against:-- Pirated products and fake goods are against the Copyright Law or violate the intellectual property rights;-- The authors, publishers and manufacturer are likely to suffer big financial losses;-- Piracy and counterfeiting encourage cheating and show no respect for other people’s work;-- Piracy and counterfeiting give rise to a large quantity of low-quality products and goods, and therefore result in a waste of resources and human labor;-- Piracy and counterfeiting damage our country’s image and put our country in a disadvantageous position in some international negotiations;-- The common value system has been distorted where piracy and counterfeiting dominate.Creativity and originality will diminish or decline.5.Working together to Solve the Social ProblemsFor teachers: To facilitate the activity, teachers can refer to Activity 3, Part I, of this unit for social problems presented by each delegate. Show your students these problems.SamplesChinese delegate: The population in China, though large, has shown signs of decreasing in the growth rate. Thanks to the family-planning policy, fewer babies have been born in the last thirty years. The demand on natural resources decreases gradually in different branches of industry. The policy met great opposition at the very beginning because it was against our old concept, more children greater happiness. Now the great majority of people are aware of the advantages the policy has brought to our country as well as to individual families. The Chinese government should continue to implement this policy, especially in rural areas. Also, China should develop green economy and reduce its heavy dependence on fossil fuels. The Chinese government should invest in the research and development of green energy, such as solar energy, wind energy and etc. And, the government should make stricter laws and regulations on food safety. Dishonest food producers should be harshly punished and fined so that the rest of them will be warned. Finally, the moral awareness and sense of social responsibility should be raised among citizens. People should care more about others and be ready to help each other when needed.The US delegate: The U.S. has been rather slow in working with cooperative programs to solve social problems. Initially our government felt we should plan and execute its own programs, but this approach appears to be changing. The problems of unemployment, a declining economy,agricultural production and trade, and social unrest have increased our attendance and participation in international meetings, including some of those which the United Nations has initiated. It is clear that only if the problems related to the economy, unemployment, food for the world population, and social unrest, become international in scope can there be international stability. And resolution of political and military conflicts have interfered with our U.S. efforts in the past, but appear to be improving. Exchanges between government officials from other countries and the U.S. have been held, and these appear to be mutually beneficial to the U.S. and to its trade partners as well. Hopefully, there will be greater support for international attention to global warming, overpopulation in Africa and Asia, and reduction of military warfare which has only interfered with efforts to solve social problems.Part Four Translation and Writing2.

Group Discussion1) I think the most effective ways of overcoming shyness are the first and seventh ways.Recognizing our personal strengths and weaknesses is useful because if we know ourselves better, we can feel more self-confident. We can be more objective, instead of being blind. The seventh way is to profit from failures and disappointments as learning experiences. If we allow ourselves to get discouraged and sad when we fail, then we will feel more unsure of ourselves. But if we think of a failure as a learning experience, we are adopting a positive attitude. By analyzing objectively why we failed and planning how to set about doing things differently we will be more likely to succeed next time.2) Modesty is used to describe a reserved appraisal of one’s merits, abilities or success, e.g. she isvery modest about her accomplishments. Shyness is used to describe the uncomfortable feeling one has in the company of others. It often implies a lack of self-confidence and a timid, reserved manner. Modesty is a good personality trait while shyness in many cases is undesirable.3) Yes, it is appropriate and normal to be shy in some circumstances: in the presence of teachers,your boss, your parents’ friends or your prospective in-laws; when you are dating someone, especially the first time; when you are with strangers; when you are in a new environment;when you’re facing a large audienc e.Vocabulary1.

But Parrot told his wife to bring out all the hard and sharp, not the soft, things instead.16) His shell was broken into hundreds of pieces.2. Ekwefi is telling a story about Tortoise. Long long ago, there was a famine, and the birds got an invitation from the sky to attend a feast there. Tortoise learned about it and with his sweet tongue he persuaded the birds to take him with them and so each bird lent him a feather. Tortoise cunningly thought of an idea that enabled him to have all the food by naming himself “All of you.” When they reached the sky, they received a warm welcome and soon the food was presented to them. Then he asked one of the people in the sky: “For whom have you prepared all this feast?” The man replied: “For all of you.” So he ate almost all the best food. The birds became very angry and took back their feathers before flying home. Without feathers, he had to jump onto the ground and his shell was broken into pieces.3. Acting out the StorySampleBird A: How exciting! All of us are invited to the feast in the sky.Bird B: I just can’t wait. What do you think I should wear?Tortoise: Hello. Good morning. What are you excited about?Bird A: Didn’t you know that we are going t o the sky?Bird B: And we are going to have a big dinner. What fun!Tortoise: How nice it is. What lucky guys. May I go with you? I’m sure we’ll have a lot of fun. Bird A: Yes, we’ll have great fun, but not you. We know you too well. You are full of cunnin g and you are ungrateful.Bird B: If we allow you to come with us, you will soon begin your mischief.Bird A: We know you of old.Tortoise:You don’t know me now. I’m a changed man. I am not the mischievous man you once knew. In fact, I am thoughtful and well-meaning. I have learned that a man whomakes trouble for others is also making trouble for himself. Rest assured, I promiseyou I will not cause you any trouble.Bird A: (Talking to Bird B) Maybe he is a changed man now. Let’s talk to our bird friends and see if we will take him with us.(After a brief discussion with all the other birds)Bird B: Ok. Tortoise, now we all agreed to take you to the sky. Each of us will lend you a feather so that you can have two wings to fly.(During the flight to the party)Bird A: Tortoise is a great orator!Bird B: Let’s make him the spokesperson for the party.Tortoise: Did you know that we need a new name when we are invited to a great feast like this?It is an age-old custom and our hosts in the sky will expect us to honor it.Bird A: We haven’t heard of this before. But as you are such a learned man, if you say this, we will choose a new name for ourselves. I will call myself Good-Looking.Bird B: I am Smart-Ass.Tortoise: And my new name is All of You.(On their arrival at the sky)Sky people:Welcome to the sky, our dear bird friends. We are so pleased to see you again.Please make yourselves at home.Tortoise: My dear respected friends, thank you so much for inviting us to the sky. Nothing can make us happier than this. It is our greatest honor to be here and have a good timewith you.Sky people: Thank you for your nice words. Now please help yourselves to the nuts.Bird A: Tortoise is really eloquent, isn’t he? I’m glad we decided to bring him with us.Bird B: Yes. And these are delicious nuts.Sky people: Now the dinner is ready. Please enjoy the soup, meat, fish and pounded yam. Here is palm wine, too.Tortoise: Just a moment. Let me ask you first. For whom have you prepared this feast?Sky people: For whom?Why? For all of you, of course.Tortoise (To the birds): You remember that my name is All of You. The custom here is to serve the spokesman first and the others later. They will serve you when I finish.Sky people (To themselves): Looks like it is their custom to leave all the food to their king first.Tortoise: Mm. Yummy. Mm. I’m full now. You can start to eat.Bird A: We should never bring him here. I am too angry to eat. I’m going home.Bird B: Wait. I am leaving, too. Take the feather with us.Tortoise:What are you doing? Leave me the feather. Oh, how am I going home without a single feather? You can’t do this to me?Birds: Bye.Tortoise: Could someone take a message for my wife? Tell her to bring out everything soft and cover the ground. …4. Taking SidesSamples1) -- I don’t admire Tortoise’s cleverness. He was unwise to cheat all the birds. After his mischief,how could he have face to live together with them any longer? He would have no friends at all.He was clever, but at the same time he was also stupid. When all the birds became so angry, how could he have trusted Parrot? He should have jumped into the sea to avoid being hurt.-- I admire Tortoise’s cleverness. He was a guy who knew where to look for a nice dinner during a time of famine. He knew very well how to get trust from others. He was also quick-minded. His only mistake was that he should not be so greedy as not to leave any nice food for the birds.--I sympathize with the birds. They took Tortoise with them to the sky out of kindness, but after flying such a long distance, they had to fly back home on an empty stomach. They were formally invited, but the food was enjoyed by Tortoise, who hadn’t been formally invited. I think the birds were very unlucky.-- I think the birds are stupi d. They knew very well that Tortoise couldn’t be trusted as he was always mischievous. But they persuaded themselves that he was a changed man.

Comparing ExperiencesSample 1In our group, two of us were latchkey children, two were taken care of by their grandparents, and one was taken care of by his mother because his mother did not work. The two who were once latchkey children had felt very much the same as the children mentioned in the passage.They felt lonely and watched TV a lot. But compared with the other students in our group, they are more independent. So in a way, it is good to leave children alone for some time every day.Sample 2In our group, only one person was once a latchkey child. Both her parents were working far away from home and she had to be on her own for most of the time on weekdays. The rest of us were taken care of either by our grandparents or by our parents. Every day when we came home after school, there was always somebody there waiting for us and taking care of us. We could also go out and play with other children after we finished our homework. But sometimes we did wish we were alone so that we could spend the time as we wished.Vocabulary1. 1) c 2) h 3) g 4) a 5) e 6) k 7) i 8) d 9) l 10) b 11) j 12) f2. 1) constantly 2) impact 3) burden 4) Candidly 5) fulfillment 6) salaried 7) resentment 8)assistance 9) perfect 10) suppress3. 1) successfully 2) resentment 3) security 4) necessity 5) advisable6) access/accessibility 7) athletic 8) maturity 9) emotional 10) effectively4. Sentence-Making GameSuggestions for teachers:Step 1: Write on the blackboard about 20 words or phrases that appear in the text. An even number is desirable since the students will be divided into 2 groups.A possible list:rise decade expense financial affect on the other hand priorityengage range forbid isolate stimulate express claim widespreadgiven work out take into consideration in case of secure arisecope with demand provideStep 2: Divide the students into two groups.Step 3: The students make sentences using the words on the blackboard. Each sentence can include more than one word and must be meaningful and grammatically correct. One point is awarded for each correctly used word. The teacher crosses out the word which has been correctly used. If the word is crossed out, it cannot be used again.Step 4: Students are encouraged to work quickly and raise their hands as soon as they come up with a sentence. The teacher works as a judge; the group that gets higher points wins.TranslationDirections: Translate the following sentences into English, using the expressions in brackets.1) Because of an emergency, the doctor will not be available for several hours.2) How will taxes affect people with low incomes?3) My mother always told me that in the long run I would be glad I didn’t give up practicing thepiano.4) The books range in price from $10 to $20.5) It seems to me that you don’t have much choice.6) Given their inexperience, they have done quite a good job.7) For such a big house the price is fairly cheap/low, but you’ve got to take into consideration themoney you will spend on repairs.8) Can we begin by discussing questions/problems arising from the last meeting?Unit 4III. Post-ReadingReading Comprehension1. 1) Introduction (Para. 1):Career planning does not necessarily follow routine or logical steps.2) Students’ weaknesses in career planning (Para. 2):i. Most students choose from a very narrow group of occupations.ii. 40 to 60 percent of the students choose professional occupations, but only15 to 18 percent of the work force is engaged in professional work.iii. Young men lack interest in fields that offer many job opportunities.iv. A third of the students are unable to express any choice of occupation.3) Serious flaws in the ways of decision making (Para. 3-5)i. Complacency – ignoring challenging information.ii. Defensive avoidance – resorting to wishful thinking or daydreaming.iii. Hypervigilance – searching frantically for career possibilities and seizingon hastily invented solutions.4) Keys to career planning (Para. 6-11)i. Study yourself.ii. Write your career goals down.iii. Review your plans and your progress periodically with another person.iv. If you choose a career that does not fit you, you can start over.5) Changes in careers (Para. 12-13)i. Few changes involve downward movement; most involve getting ahead.ii. Job changes and career shifts occur at all ages.6) Conclusion (Para. 14-15)Although there is no sure way to make career plans work out, there are things that you can do now to shape your career possibilities.2. 1) T 2) T 3) F 4) T 5) F 6) T 7) T 8) T 9) T 10) F 11) T 12) F3. Job Application and RecruitmentAn alternative activity for the teacher to organize for the class:The teacher may organize an interview in the following way:1) Choose an interview panel of three or four students. Choose three students for the panel to interview for the job of a store detective. Hold the interviews. When they are over, the panel should discuss the qualifications of the applicants and choose the one they think is best.2) Ask the class to talk about the interviews. Ask questions such as:A. Do you agree with the panel’s decision?B. How could the applicants have done better?C. Were the interviews fair?Sample answers-- I agree with the panel’s decision. First, the applicant is very confident in answering the questions and he knows what he is supposed to do. Second, he is quick-minded and very strong. Third, he is interested in the job and is ready to dedicate himself to the job. Finally, he has previous experience in working as a store detective.-- I don’t agree with the panel’s decision. I think the panel puts too much emphasis on the appearance of the applicants. I think Applicant B is much more suited for the job. He has a warmer personality. He can be a good store detective as well as a good staff member, because I don’t think the sole responsibility for a detective is to check on the shoppers. He should also help the customers when possible.-- Generally speaking, I think the panel has made a wise decision and chosen the right one for the job. Yet I think the applicant could have done better by not being so conceited and bragging about his own ability. After all, people cannot trust too much what a person says about himself without further investigation. What’s more, team spirit is very important. If he is not easy-going and feels too good about himself, it will be difficult for others to cooperate with him. Also I doubt whether he will be listening to the boss.Vocabulary1. 1) acceptable 2) efficiency 3) implications 4) instability 5) rationalize6) evaluation 7) foreseeable 8) invention 9) hastily 10) probability11) professional 12) challenging 13) defensive 14) personality2. 1) in case 2) Every so often 3) resort to 4) talk over 5) start over6) in reality 7) at stake 8) seized on 9) leading to 10) take stock of3. 1) programs 2) way 3) technical 4) both 5) provided 6) who7) such 8) needed 9) opportunities 10) when 11) to 12) Completion 13) holding 14) early 15) hire 16) promote 17) up 18) educatingTranslation1. He underwent a major heart surgery several years ago.2. We estimated that it would take a week to finish the work.3. I used to enjoy photography, but I now have no time to pursue any hobbies.4. You may love someone but not necessarily have to marry him.5. Terrorists resort to violence to achieve their political aims.6. He says he’ll stay in the office this afternoon in case you want to see him.7. Scientists have identified the gene that causes abnormal growth.8. These examples demonstrate how badly some students write their résumés.Unit 6III. Post-ReadingReading Comprehension1. Understanding the Main Idea of the PassageA Comparison of Animal and Human Aggression2. Understanding Specific Information1) D 2) C 3) A 4) C 5) D 6) B3. Questions for Group Discussion1) –Yes. There were 2 world wars before, during which large numbers of people were killed andthe great majority of them were innocent. Human beings or the whole world can be destroyed if nuclear or biological weapons should be used by violent insane people. We have never heard of anything like these in the animal world. Besides humans have killed large numbers of animals for food, clothes, medical research, pleasure, or for no reason at all. So I think humans are much more aggressive than animals.– No, animals are, in general, more aggressive than humans. Humans are good by nature, while animals have no power of reasoning. What’s more, animals have more physical force and other defenses such as claws and fangs. Without weapons, man is weaker and less aggressive than animals.2) – Yes, sports are generally a good way to channel energy and aggression, especially boxing,wrestling, ball games, etc. International sports enable athletes from many countries to meet and to compete for medals. To prepare for international sports competitions, they have to improve their skills, strengthen their muscles, develop effective strategies, etc. Others, non-athletes, will feel concerned with them, excited with them, and proud of them, and cheer for them.– No, the Olympic Games are just sports competitions. They won’t change the political ideas of nations. We have never heard of any sports games that have stopped disputes, conflicts, wars, etc., but on the other hand there were athletes who were prevented from participating in the Games because of international conflicts. And there have been acts of terrorism, and examples of unfair judgments and aggressive behavior at the Olympic Games.Vocabulary1.2. violent —non-violent doubtfully — undoubtedlysatisfied — dissatisfied normal — abnormalconstructive — destructive personal — impersonaldiminish — increase encourage — discourage3.1) survive 2) conflicts 3) available 4) likely5) injuring 6) absorbed 7) competition 8) instinct9) hesitated 10) similar4.Aggression is the fighting instinct in beast and man, which is directed against members of the same species. It is theorized that in natural conditions aggression helps to ensure survival of individuals (and thus the species), by preventing too dense a population from developing and exhausting all of its food sources. Fighting is generally considered to be a trait characteristic of males and uncharacteristic of females. However, many but not all female mammals exhibit aggression during the postpartum (产后的) period in defense of their young.The great animal behaviorist Konrad Lorenz observed that in every individual the readiness to fight is greatest in the most familiar place: in the middle of its territory. As the distance from territory increases, readiness to fight decreases proportionately. This was not the case with my pet rat; he was ready and willing to beat up his neighbors the minute he stepped through their door. What causes some rats to be more aggressive than others? There is certainly evidence that aggression has a genetic basis, at least in some animals.Translation1. She always behaves badly when her aunt comes to visit.2) If it hadn’t been for your help, we wouldn’t have been able to finish the task in time.3) I warned him off going to the east coast because it was full of tourists.4) The fact that something is cheap doesn’t necessarily mean it’s of low quality.5) Without anyone to turn to for help, making an appropriate choice can be difficult.6) His sadness at the death of his wife found expression in his music.7) Only if Peter goes to the evening party will she go.8) I can only compare the experience to a nightmare.Unit 7III. Post-ReadingReading Comprehension1. Understanding the Organization of the Text2. Retelling the Process for Change“The writer was determined and ready to make changes. First, he made a point of getting away* from familiar situations and people that he wanted to impress. Next, he organized his days so that he could do activities that helped him change and develop. After that, he made an effort to try new ways of doing things. Then, he announced publicly what he planned to do so that it would be difficult for him to break his promises. Later, he analyzed his experiences in a logical way. When he returned, he changed things in his life so that he would continue the process that began while he was away. The process for change was a success.”*make a point of doing something: be certain that one does something, usually in an obviousway.e.g. From then on he made a point of avoiding her.3.

Any change in scenery or surroundings can be beneficial.Yet it is too expensive, too self-centered and too time-consuming. Isolating oneself from one’s friends and family doesn’t seem to be the best way for transformation to take place.Anyway, one has to get back to their friends and family who are important for their life and happiness.2) Other possible ways to make changes:-- to do new and different things (sports, reading, painting);-- to do things to help other people;-- to look for a new job;-- to find a new hobby.I think the most effective way is to help other people.Vocabulary1. 1) engagement 2) separating 3) influences 4) arranged 5) chosen 6) In case 7) processed 8) changes 9) benefited 10) go on2.1) end 2) booked 3) trapped 4) book5) ended 6) appeal 7) trap 8) appeal9) samples 10) structure 11) value 12) structured13) sampled 14) process 15) valued 16) process3. 1) a. emptied b. emptiness2) a. terrified b. terrifying3) a. entertaining b. entertainment4) a. introductory b. introduction5) a. employed b. employment6) a. transform b. transformation7) a. convinced b. convincing8) a. approval b. approve9) a. isolates b. isolation10) a. reinforcement b. reinforcedTranslation1.

Part 3Further Development1 Grammar ReviewSampleA: Did you hear that Tom failed the English final? He was 10 minutes late for the final because he woke up late.B: That’s too bad. But he should have asked his roommate to wake him up.A: Well anyway, he got to the classroom before the listening part finished. But then he found the batteries for his radio were dead.B: Well, he should have bought new batteries the day before.A: Yes, very true. He then had to borrow two batteries from his classmate. But when Tom was doing the exam, he found there were many words that were new to him.B: He should have spent more time memorizing new words and phrases before the exam.A: Yes, and then Tom had a splitting headache because he had studied until two in the morning.B: That’s too bad. But he really shouldn’t have stayed up the night before the exam.A: And what’s more, Tom was so afraid to fail the final that he peeped at his neighbor’s paper. He was caught and would be punished.B: Really? He shouldn’t have cheated on the exam.2 Vocabulary Review1 A Though / Although B though C thoughA Both “although” and “though” can be used as conjunctions to introduce a subordinate clause of concession (让步状语从句) in which you mention something which contrasts with what you are saying in the main clause.B “Though” is sometimes used as an adverb. When used as an adverb, it is not used at the beginning of a clause. “Although” cannot be used as an adverb.C When a clause beginning with “though” ends with a complement or adverb, you can bring the complement or adverb forward to the beginning of the clause. However, when a clause beginning with “although” ends with a complement or adverb, you cannot move the complement or adverb to the beginning of the clause.2 A reply / answer B answer C replyingBoth “answer” and “reply” can be used as nouns and verbs. With a noun object we use the verb “answer” or “reply to”. e.g. We must answer / reply to these questions as soon as possible.3 A speaks B speak C talking D speak / talkYou say that someone “speaks” or “can speak” a foreign language. If someone is giving a speech, you say they are “speaking”. If two or more people are having a conversation, you say that they are “talking”. You do not say that they are “speaking”.If you “speak to / talk to” someone, you have a conversation with them.4 A injured / hurt B hurt / injured C wounded / injured D woundsYou can be “wounded” or receive a “wound” from any attack in which a gun or sharp instrument such as a sword or knife is used. You can be “hurt” or “injured” or receive an “injury”, a) when any other weapon such as a heavy stick or bomb is used, b) in an accident. Both “wound” and “injure” are more serious than “hurt”. Note that “hurt”can be used as an intransitive verb but not “wound” or “injure”. e.g. It hurts when I try to move my leg.5 A houses B apartment, apartmentsA “house” is a building for people to live in and often has more than one level. An“apartment” in American English or a “flat” in British English refers to a set of rooms within a larger building, usually on one level.6 A aside B apart C aside / apartBoth “aside” and “apart” can be used as adverbs. “Aside” means “away or to the side”.“Apart” means “separated by a distance”. The phrase “aside from / apart from” meansa) except for, b) in addition to.7 A requests B requested C demanded D demandsBoth “request” and “demand” mean “ask for sth. or ask sb. to do sth.”. “Request” is more formal and stronger than “ask (for)”. “Demand” is even stronger. If you “demand” something, you feel strongly that you have the right to get it, and will not take “no” for an answer. Both “request” and “demand” can be used as a verb or as a noun. A “request” for something is a polite demand for it.8 A border B boundaryThe word “border” refers to the dividing line between two countries or states or the land near that line. A “boundary” is a precise line marking the outer limits of an area.3 Roommates and FriendsSTEP ONESampleIn addition to those listed in the book, my ideal roommate would also be: someone who does not smoke; a responsible and honest person; someone who does not snore while sleeping; the best student in my class; someone who does not stay up too late;an independent person; someone who does not interfere in my private affairs; a tolerant person; a trustworthy person, etc.STEP TWOSample• No, I don’t think roommates are usually friends. Living in the same room doesn’t necessarily mean that friendships will develop. Although roommates are usually friendly to each other, not all of them are friends because friendliness is not always an indication of friendship. It’s true with classmates. Only when people have similar interests and a common outlook on life will they become friends or close friends.• I think more often than not roommates will become friends. Obviously, roommates spend much time together and therefore will learn a lot about each other. When people get to know each other, friendship often develops. Many people could have become friends if they had met and got together often or long enough. Sharing rooms paves the way to friendship. We often hear older people say they were roommates or classmates and therefore good friends. It doesn’t mean roommates will surely become friends. They’re more likely to become friends.4 It Made Me Feel So GoodSTEP TWOSample• As a newcomer in this university, the first letter I’ve received here is from my best friend, Dong Ming. Dong Ming and I were classmates in high school and we spent a lot of time together, studying, talking and playing around. I can safely say that not a single day was spent without our being together during our senior high school years.But now we’re studying at two different universities far apart from each other.His letter makes me feel as if we were together again, talking. And what’s important is not the letter itself but what he said in the letter.Dear Dong Hao,I felt sad when we left each other last Friday and yet a little happy about all the new things and the excitement ahead of us in our new college life. It’s what we want and need.One thing is very important to both of us: to make more friends and to learn to get along with others. To do so I believe we should respect others—their point of view, their way of doing things, etc. Only in this way can we make more friends and make our campus life more interesting. What do you think? I look forward to your reply.Best Wishes,Dong Ming • Sometimes I feel good about myself when I’ve been able to contribute a little bit to my relationships with others. I remember what I did for Xiao Li, my next door neighbor and good friend. Last summer Xiao Li got seriously ill and was in the hospital for five weeks.At the beginning I didn’t know what I could do for him. I went to Mom for advice.Mom thought about it for a while and said, “Well, the only thing I can tell you is to be available when he needs you—not when you want to be available.” I took Mom’s advice seriously. I called him on the phone now and then to check if he needed any help and I went to see him every day after school and did what I could for him. So when Xiao Li recovered and left the hospital I felt so happy.5 When Your Neighbor Is in Need of HelpSTEP ONESampleA young woman was walking along the streets one night when she was attacked. Shescreamed for help and managed to escape. A few minutes later her attacker caught her again and she continued screaming for help while the neighbors watched terrified from their windows and did nothing. They didn’t even call the police. The woman died of multiple stab wounds (多处刺伤).STEP TWOSample1 I think there are several reasons for that. First, people were rather cowardly andselfish. When they heard someone screaming late at night, they thought that might be dangerous so they just stood back and watched the woman get killed in front of them.They preferred to protect themselves rather than get involved to risk being injured or even killed. Second, they felt that there are already institutions in cities to deal with this kind of problem. They didn’t think they needed to intervene because the police would do something for them. Finally, it is possible that these people were so terrified that they could not think clearly or take action to protect the woman.2 I don’t know. Maybe I would go to the street and try to protect the woman. I thinkmore people would come to help if they realized what was really happening. Maybe I would call the police. But I’m afraid that when the police arrived, she might already have been killed. Or maybe I would be too scared to give any help. I might simply close the window and put my ear plugs in. These are the different things I might do on such an occasion, but I believe it’s most likely that I would call the police.Part 4Translation and Writing2 Translation Practice依靠我吧Sometimes in our lives we all have pain, we all have sorrow生活中我们会有痛苦,会有悲伤But if we are wise, we know that there’s always tomorrow.然而,聪明的我们明白总有明天(可指望)。

新编大学英语3--第三单元课后练习答案---第三版Unit 3 Social ProblemsIn-class Reading Passage课内阅读练习答案Part One Preparation1. Describing the PicturesPicture A:A couple is dining at a restaurant.Both of them are smoking. But theycall and complain to the waiter,saying that those sitting at the othertables are coughing too much andthat bothers them. However, theyhave not realized that actually it istheir smoking that has caused thosepeople to cough. I have seen manypeople who behave like this couple.They never take other people’sinterest into consideration. They areselfish and always ready to findfault with others. They never seetheir own wrong doings but alwaysmake a false counter-charge. Theyare despised by most other people.Picture B: In this picture I see a strange beggar.While most beggars beg for food ordrinks, this guy begs for money inorder to buy wines. He wants to tryall the 596,704 wines existing in thisworld. He said he already tasted38,279 wines out of that number.Suppose he tries one kind of wineone day, it would have taken himmore than 100 years to come so far.He is really an ambitious man.However, if he has the ambition totry all the existing wines, he shouldwork hard and make money himselfinstead of begging for other people’smoney to enjoy what life can offer.There are some people like thisbeggar these days. They want toenjoy life, but not based on theirown hard work or effort. They wanta free lunch and many of them liveon borrowed money. I don’t thinkthis is a good attitude towards life.Everyone should work hard tomake a good living.Picture C: I see a court with a judge, a defendant and probably a lawyer inthe picture. What is strange aboutthis picture is that I find a tip pot,which is usually placed in arestaurant for waiters or waitress.They get tips for their excellentservices to their customers. Waitersor waitresses who get generous tipswill provide even better service tocustomers. However, a court is aplace for people to seek justice andfairness. It punishes the guilty andreleases the innocent. If judges startto take tips, I doubt that there willbe any more justice. People will nolonger be treated equally and truthwill not be valued. Judgment willnot be made based on facts, but onhow big the tip is. What an evilplace!Picture D: In this picture I see two men behind bars. One is telling his fellowprisoner that he did not commit thecrimes that he had been accused ofcommitting. His mistake was that hestole the identity of a guy who hadcommitted those crimes. The policetook him for that guy and put himin jail. They actually got the wrongperson. And he was innocent. Washe really innocent? I don’t think so.He was a thief, and he was notinnocent at all. However, hereceived a heavier punishment thanhe deserved. So that was an irony.The guy stole another person’sidentity and in a sense he inheritedhis crimes as well. So never takeother people’s stuff, whatever it is.No one can escape punishment.2. Interview time—the most intolerable behavior(s) in public places--I have interviewed 5 classmates, two girls and three boys. I asked each of them to list three intolerable behaviors in public places. Three of them said speaking loudly in the library was the most intolerable behavior. Library is a quiet place for students to read and do their homework. If someone speaks loudly, most of them feel interrupted and disturbed. It is hard for them to concentrate on their studies any longer. Other intolerable behaviors include knocks at a dormitory door at midnight asking about homework due the next day, someone not taking bath for a long time, letting pets pee everywhere, smoking, wearing clothes that cover very little of the body, being late for classes, banging doors, and making big noises while eating.--I asked 6 students what they thought were the most intolerable behaviors in public places. Itseems that public display of love (kissing in public places and video talk with boyfriends in dorm) ranks the first. It makes those who have no boyfriend or girlfriend feel pathetic about themselves and it also makes roommates unable to concentrate on studies. Other intolerable behaviors are playing computer games in the dormitory, riding bicycles in the wrong direction, spitting, taking off one’s shoes, picking flowers from a park, shaking legs, pretending to understand others, leaving dirty clothes in the bathroom for days, doing morning exercises before 6 o’clock, jumping the queue, and letting young children pee or poo on street3. Conference on Social ProblemsChinese delegate: I think the biggest social problem in China is its large population. Many other problems arise from this, such as high housing price and the decline of natural resources. These days, food safety seems to be thebiggest concern of ordinary people. Some food producers who look for big profits are using unnecessary chemicals in food production to improve the appearance and taste while reducing the cost of their products. These chemicals may be poisonous or even fatal to their consumers. At the same time, the environment is being seriously polluted in some areas.Japanese delegate: The unstable political system and frequent change of prime ministers is one of the most serious social problems in Japan. Natural disasters like earthquakes and tsunamis have also caused serious loss of people’s lives and great damage to properties as well as the country’s economic development. Being an island country, Japan lacks natural resources and is heavily dependent on imports.Russian delegate: Russia is facing many social problems, terrorism being the most serious of all. This can be traced back to the breakup of the former Soviet Union. When it was broken up, different nationalities experienced pain andconflicts. Since the privatization of the previously state-owned properties, a big gap has been created between the rich and the poor. Some people don’t trust the government any longer. Due to the extreme cold weather in winter, many Russian men are addicted to alcohol and some of them die young, leaving a larger female population. The total population of our country is, as a result, decreasing.Indian delegate: In India the biggest social problems are overpopulation, talent loss and poor infrastructure. India has a second largest population in the world next only to China, but unlike China, we don’t have a family planning policy, so the population is continuously increasing. A large part of the population lives in poverty and is unable to receive proper education. What’s more, we use too much of the natural resources and environment pollution is getting even worse. In India, we worship certain animals like cows. They are allowed to wander on the streets, leading to frequent traffic jam and cowwaste on the streets.USA delegate: We are currently experiencing the most severe economic recession in our history. It is partly caused by the international weakened financial system, but even more by the careless policies of many of our largest banks and commercial companies, and by irresponsible handling of financial matters by individuals and families. The unemployment rate in the US remains high, but is slowly improving. We have a high crime rate, including several campus shootings, and many of our metropolitan areas are unsafe much of the time. Our health care system is undergoing a reform but there is so much disagreement between the two main political parties that little progress has been made to date. Ordinary people have difficulty paying for the high cost of medical coverage, and economically deprived people have very limited medical coverage. We have overused and poorly handled many of our natural resources. The worst of all, we claim to have the best medicalcare in the world, but in reality it adequately covers only the higher and middle income portions of our population. All of the above have contributed to rather pessimistic feeling by many of our citizens. We also have disagreement on the global warming and other programs related to energy use, including the fact that we have been very dependent upon petroleum purchase from some Middle East countries with whom we have serious political differences, including the role of atomic energy and related atomic bombs and missiles.Part Two Reading-Centered ActivitiesPre-ReadingCase study: What would you do?To the teacher:You may:1) Prompt (if necessary) the students to think about practical issues like child-care, location of the school, location of the apartment, workplace, etc.2) Encourage the students to justify why both parents (or just one) accept the jobs.Samples1) It depends. If I were the wife, I would persuade my husband to accept the job. As for me, before making a final decision, I would take into consideration such factors as child-care facilities, location of the school, location of the apartment, etc.2) Both of us will accept the jobs. On the one hand, the jobs are challenging, which is good for our personal fulfillment. On the other hand, with the money we get, we could find a babysitter for our child or send him to a private school, where he may receive better education.3) Neither of us will take the job. I think parents should spend more time with their children. A challenging, high-salary job means less time with your child. If we move to a city where wedon’t have any relat ives, it would be even worse. A child who grows up with little care from parents or family is very likely to become a problem kid.Post- ReadingReading Comprehension1.

Comparing ExperiencesSamples1)I n our group, two of us were latchkey children, two were taken care of by their grandparents, and one was taken care of by his motherbecause his mother did not work. The two who were once latchkey children had felt very much the same as the children mentioned in the passage. They felt lonely and watched TV a lot. But compared with the other students in our group, they are more independent. So in a way, it is good to leave children alone at home for some time every day.2)In our group, only one person was once a latchkey child. Both her parents were working far away from home and she had to be on her own at home for most of the time on weekdays. The rest of us were taken care of either by our grandparents or by our parents. Every day when we came home after school, there was always somebody there waiting for us and taking care of us. We could also go out and play with other children after we had finished our homework. But sometimes we did wish to be left alone so that we could spend the time as we wished.3)I was once a latchkey child. Both my parentshad to work night shifts when I was in elementary school. Every evening I did homework all by myself and then went to bed.I played computer games for a while if I finished my homework early. Sometimes I went to school before my parents came home. My parents knew that I could take good care of myself. They felt proud of me since I was so independent and did a good job at school. Sometimes they called me to make sure I was okay. I never felt lonely and was aware that my parents loved and cared for me. Weekends were precious time for all of us.Vocabulary1. 1) c 2) h 3) g 4) a 5) e 6) k 7) i 8)d 9) l 10) b 11) j 12) f2. 1) constantly 2) impact 3) burden 4) Candidly5) fulfillment 6) salaried 7) resentment 8)assistance9) perfect 10) suppress3. 1) successfully 2) resentment 3) security 4) necessity 5) advisable6) access/accessibility 7) athletic 8) maturity 9) emotional 10) effectively4. Sentence-Making GameTips for teachers:Step 1: Write on the blackboard about 20 words or phrases that appear in the text.An even number is desirable since thestudents will be divided into 2 groups.A possible list:rise decade expense financial affect on the other hand priorityengage range forbid isolate stimulate express claim widespreadgiven work out take into consideration in case of secure arisecope with demand provideStep 2: Divide the students into two groups. Step 3: The students make sentences using the words on the blackboard. Each sentence can include more than one word and must be meaningful and grammatically correct. One point is awarded for each correctly used word. The teacher crosses out the word which has been correctly used. If the word is crossed out, it cannot be used again.Step 4: Students are encouraged to workquickly and raise their hands as soon as they come up with a sentence. The teacher works as a judge; the group that gets higher points wins.TranslationDirections: Translate the following sentences into English, using the expressions in brackets.1) Because of an emergency, the doctor will not be available for several hours.2) How will taxes affect people with low incomes?3) My mother always told me that in the long runI would be glad I didn’t give up practicing the piano.4) The books range in price from $10 to $20.5) It seems to me that you don’t have much choice.6) Given their inexperience, they have done quitea good job.7) For such a big house the price is fairly cheap/low, but you’ve got to take into consideration the money you will spend on repairs.8) Can we begin by discussing questions/problems arising from the last meeting?Part Three Further Development1.

(This could be silly.)(These are only for your reference, there are no definite answers.)STEP TWOReasons for reference:--- show “innocent” hearts and signs of love;--- desire to express anger against someone orsomething;--- express a political or social message;--- desire to be destructive;--- manifest boredom, frustration, or delinquency.--- show one’s talent as a graffiti artist4. For or AgainstSamplesFor:-- The originals and goods of high quality are too expensive, especially for low-income people or students;-- Pirated products and fake/inferior goods are good for promotional purposes because books, CDs, movies, tapes and famous brands will be available or known to more people.When they can afford them in their original state they’ll surely buy them.-- Pirated products and famous brands help to make the authors of the books, CDs, movies, or tapes, and the manufacturers better knownor more popular. Nobody would even know who were the producers of the pirated or fake/inferior goods.-- More people will have jobs to make these products or goods. Sure the unemployment rate will be lowered.Against:-- Pirated products and fake goods are against the Copyright Law or violate the intellectual property rights;-- The authors, publishers and manufacturer are likely to suffer big financial losses;-- Piracy and counterfeiting encourage cheating and show no respect for other people’s work;-- Piracy and counterfeiting give rise to a large quantity of low-quality products andgoods, and therefore result in a waste ofresources and human labor;-- Piracy and counterfeiting damage our country’s image and put our country in adisadvantageous position in some international negotiations;-- The common value system has been distorted where piracy and counterfeiting dominate. Creativity and originality will diminish or decline.5.Working together to Solve the Social ProblemsFor teachers: To facilitate the activity, teacherscan refer to Activity 3, Part I, ofthis unit for social problemspresented by each delegate. Showyour students these problems.SamplesChinese delegate: The population in China, though large, has shown signs of decreasing in the growth rate. Thanks to the family-planningpolicy, fewer babies have been born in the last thirty years. The demand on natural resources decreases gradually in different branches of industry. The policy met great opposition at the very beginning because it was against our old concept, more children greater happiness. Now the great majority of people are aware of the advantages the policy has brought to our country as well as to individual families. The Chinese government should continue to implement this policy, especially in rural areas. Also, China should develop green economy and reduce its heavy dependence on fossil fuels. The Chinese government should invest in the research and development of green energy, such as solar energy, wind energy and etc. And, the government should make stricter laws and regulations on food safety. Dishonest food producers should be harshly punished and fined so that the rest of them will be warned. Finally, the moral awareness and sense of social responsibility should be raised among citizens.People should care more about others and be ready to help each other when needed.The US delegate: The U.S. has been rather slow in working with cooperative programs to solve social problems. Initially our government felt we should plan and execute its own programs, but this approach appears to be changing. The problems of unemployment, a declining economy, agricultural production and trade, and social unrest have increased our attendance and participation in international meetings, including some of those which the United Nations has initiated. It is clear that only if the problems related to the economy, unemployment, food for the world population, and social unrest, become international in scope can there be international stability. And resolution of political and military conflicts have interfered with our U.S. efforts in the past, but appear to be improving. Exchanges between government officials from other countries and the U.S. have been held, and these appear to be mutually beneficial to the U.S. andto its trade partners as well. Hopefully, there will be greater support for international attention to global warming, overpopulation in Africa and Asia, and reduction of military warfare which has only interfered with efforts to solve social problems.Part Four Translation and Writing2.

Any schoolboy, however, must feel something of the power of his invention. We have been studying him in connection with Elizabethan drama, of which his work was a part. And we have found him often using old stories, always writing with an effort for theatrical success, and frequently following the methods of his contemporaries. But the power and copiousness of his invention nevertheless stand out unparalleled. The invention is accompanied by superb powers of characterization and poetical expression. Shakespeare has created a host of persons to live with us and he has made us see their virtues and failings and their likeness to ourselves, and their meaning for our lives.Precis WritingReference version:Thousands of books have been written on William Shakespeare, but very little is known of his personal life. The only handwriting left by Shakespeare which we have now is a number of his signatures, one of which is on his will dated 25 March, 1616. It seems that he died a man of considerable means. His birthplace, Stratford-upon-Avon, has also made a thriving business out of him though tourists understand little of his work and know even less of his life. He might have had some experience with some visiting theatrical companies or even got a job with them. However, he disappeared completely in 1585 and did not “reappear” until seven years later when he emerged in London as an actor and playwright. Over the next 15 years he contributed more than 30 plays to the world as well as marvellous verse. Where did he get such a wealth of knowledge on such a wide range of subjects? Who was the “dark lady” that made him so sad?Where had his manuscripts gone to? Maybe some day we will uncover a bundle of his letters which could shed light on these and other questions.IV.

There is the old bicycle without wheels in the garage, and the attic has enough wares for a small department store. There are baskets full of children’s toys, big cases of used clothes; there is a broken mirror, a cracked teapot, bundles of old newspapers, a clock without hands, and many more other things, all gathering dust. As a matter of fact, there is no other house where there is so much useless stuff.I have tried several times to talk my wife into throwing away everything that is no longer needed, but each time she disagrees, arguing with great conviction that they will amount to a large sum of money.Now there is so much junk in our house that perhaps the family had better move out so as to make room for more junk.V.

Unit 3 Social ProblemsIn-class Reading Passage课内阅读练习答案Part One Preparation1. Describing the PicturesPicture A:A couple is dining at a restaurant. Both of them are smoking. But they call and complain to the waiter, saying that those sitting at the other tables arecoughing too much and that bothers them. However, they have not realizedthat actually it is their smoking that has caused those people to cough. I haveseen many people who behave like this couple. They never take otherpeople’s interest into consideration. They are selfish and always ready to findfault with others. They never see their own wrong doings but always make afalse counter-charge. They are despised by most other people.Picture B: In this picture I see a strange beggar. While most beggars beg for food or drinks, this guy begs for money in order to buy wines. He wants to try all the596,704 wines existing in this world. He said he already tasted 38,279 winesout of that number. Suppose he tries one kind of wine one day, it would havetaken him more than 100 years to come so far. He is really an ambitious man.However, if he has the ambition to try all the existing wines, he should workhard and make money himself instead of begging for other people’s moneyto enjoy what life can offer. There are some people like this beggar these days.They want to enjoy life, but not based on their own hard work or effort. Theywant a free lunch and many of them live on borrowed money. I don’t thinkthis is a good attitude towards life. Everyone should work hard to make agood living.Picture C: I see a court with a judge, a defendant and probably a lawyer in the picture.What is strange about this picture is that I find a tip pot, which is usuallyplaced in a restaurant for waiters or waitress. They get tips for their excellentservices to their customers. Waiters or waitresses who get generous tips willprovide even better service to customers. However, a court is a place forpeople to seek justice and fairness. It punishes the guilty and releases theinnocent. If judges start to take tips, I doubt that there will be any morejustice. People will no longer be treated equally and truth will not be valued.Judgment will not be made based on facts, but on how big the tip is. What anevil place!Picture D: In this picture I see two men behind bars. One is telling his fellow prisoner that he did not commit the crimes that he had been accused of committing. Hismistake was that he stole the identity of a guy who had committed thosecrimes. The police took him for that guy and put him in jail. They actually gotthe wrong person. And he was innocent. Was he really innocent? I don’t thinkso. He was a thief, and he was not innocent at all. However, he received aheavier punishment than he deserved. So that was an irony. The guy stoleanother person’s identity and in a sense he inherited his crimes as well. Sonever take other people’s stuff, whatever it is. No one can escape punishment.2. Interview time—the most intolerable behavior(s) in public places--I have interviewed 5 classmates, two girls and three boys. I asked each of them to list three intolerable behaviors in public places. Three of them said speaking loudly in the library was the most intolerable behavior. Library is a quiet place for students to read and do their homework. If someone speaks loudly, most of them feel interrupted and disturbed. It is hard for them to concentrate on their studies any longer. Other intolerable behaviors include knocks at a dormitory door at midnight asking about homework due the next day, someone not taking bath for a long time, letting pets pee everywhere, smoking, wearing clothes that cover very little of the body, being late for classes, banging doors, and making big noises while eating.--I asked 6 students what they thought were the most intolerable behaviors in public places. It seems that public display of love (kissing in public places and video talk with boyfriends in dorm) ranks the first. It makes those who have no boyfriend or girlfriend feel pathetic about themselves and it also makes roommates unable to concentrate on studies. Other intolerable behaviors are playing computer games in the dormitory, riding bicycles in the wrong direction, spitting, taking off one’s shoes, picking flowers from a park, shaking legs, pretending to understand others, leaving dirty clothes in the bathroom for days, doing morning exercises before 6 o’clock, jumping the queue, and letting young children pee or poo on street3. Conference on Social ProblemsChinese delegate: I think the biggest social problem in China is its large population. Many other problems arise from this, such as high housing price and the decline of natural resources. These days, food safety seems to be the biggest concern of ordinary people. Some food producers who look for big profits are using unnecessary chemicals in food production to improve the appearance and taste while reducing the cost of their products. These chemicals may be poisonous or even fatal to their consumers. At the same time, the environment is being seriously polluted in some areas.Japanese delegate: The unstable political system and frequent change of prime ministers is one of the most serious social problems in Japan. Natural disasters like earthquakes and tsunamis have also caused serious loss of people’s lives and great damage to properties as well as the country’s economic development. Being an island country, Japan lacks natural resources and is heavily dependent on imports.Russian delegate: Russia is facing many social problems, terrorism being the most serious of all. This can be traced back to the breakup of the former Soviet Union. When it was broken up, different nationalities experienced pain and conflicts. Since the privatization of the previously state-owned properties, a big gap has been created between the rich and the poor. Some people don’t trust the government any longer. Due to the extreme cold weather in winter, many Russian men are addicted to alcohol and some of them die young, leaving a larger female population. The total population of our country is, as a result, decreasing.Indian delegate: In India the biggest social problems are overpopulation, talent loss andpoor infrastructure. India has a second largest population in the world next only to China, but unlike China, we don’t have a family planning policy, so the population is continuously increasing. A large part of the population lives in poverty and is unable to receive proper education. What’s more, we use too much of the natural resources and environment pollution is getting even worse. In India, we worship certain animals like cows. They are allowed to wander on the streets, leading to frequent traffic jam and cow waste on the streets.USA delegate: We are currently experiencing the most severe economic recession in our history. It is partly caused by the international weakened financial system, but even more by the careless policies of many of our largest banks and commercial companies, and by irresponsible handling of financial matters by individuals and families. The unemployment rate in the US remains high, but is slowly improving. We have a high crime rate, including several campus shootings, and many of our metropolitan areas are unsafe much of the time. Our health care system is undergoing a reform but there is so much disagreement between the two main political parties that little progress has been made to date. Ordinary people have difficulty paying for the high cost of medical coverage, and economically deprived people have very limited medical coverage. We have overused and poorly handled many of our natural resources. The worst of all, we claim to have the best medical care in the world, but in reality it adequately covers only the higher and middle income portions of our population. All of the above have contributed to rather pessimistic feeling by many of our citizens. We also have disagreement on the global warming and other programs related to energy use, including the fact that we have been verydependent upon petroleum purchase from some Middle East countries with whom we have serious political differences, including the role of atomic energy and related atomic bombs and missiles.Part Two Reading-Centered ActivitiesPre-ReadingCase study: What would you do?To the teacher:You may:1) Prompt (if necessary) the students to think about practical issues like child-care,location of the school, location of the apartment, work place, etc.2) Encourage the students to justify why both parents (or just one) accept the jobs.Samples1) It depends. If I were the wife, I would persuade my husband to accept the job. As forme, before making a final decision, I would take into consideration such factors as child-care facilities, location of the school, location of the apartment, etc.2) Both of us will accept the jobs. On the one hand, the jobs are challenging, which isgood for our personal fulfillment. On the other hand, with the money we get, we could find a babysitter for our child or send him to a private school, where he may receive better education.3) Neither of us will take the job. I think parents should spend more time with theirchildren. A challenging, high-salary job means less time with your child. If we move toa city where we don’t have any relatives, it would be even wors e. A child who growsup with little care from parents or family is very likely to become a problem kid.

Comparing ExperiencesSamples1)In our group, two of us were latchkey children, two were taken care of by theirgrandparents, and one was taken care of by his mother because his mother did not work. The two who were once latchkey children had felt very much the same as the children mentioned in the passage. They felt lonely and watched TV a lot. But compared with the other students in our group, they are more independent. So in a way, it is good to leave children alone at home for some time every day.2)In our group, only one person was once a latchkey child. Both her parents wereworking far away from home and she had to be on her own at home for most of the time on weekdays. The rest of us were taken care of either by our grandparents or by our parents. Every day when we came home after school, there was always somebody there waiting for us and taking care of us. We could also go out and play with other children after we had finished our homework. But sometimes we did wish to be left alone so that we could spend the time as we wished.3)I was once a latchkey child. Both my parents had to work night shifts when I was inelementary school. Every evening I did homework all by myself and then went to bed.I played computer games for a while if I finished my homework early. Sometimes Iwent to school before my parents came home. My parents knew that I could take good care of myself. They felt proud of me since I was so independent and did a good job at school. Sometimes they called me to make sure I was okay. I never felt lonely and was aware that my parents loved and cared for me. Weekends were precious time for all of us.Vocabulary1. 1) c 2) h 3) g 4) a 5) e 6) k 7) i 8) d 9) l 10) b 11) j 12) f2. 1) constantly 2) impact 3) burden 4) Candidly 5) fulfillment 6) salaried 7) resentment8) assistance9) perfect 10) suppress3. 1) successfully 2) resentment 3) security 4) necessity 5) advisable6) access/accessibility 7) athletic 8) maturity 9) emotional 10) effectively4. Sentence-Making GameTips for teachers:Step 1: Write on the blackboard about 20 words or phrases that appear in the text. An even number is desirable since the students will be divided into 2 groups.A possible list:rise decade expense financial affect on the other hand priorityengage range forbid isolate stimulate express claim widespreadgiven work out take into consideration in case of secure arisecope with demand provideStep 2: Divide the students into two groups.Step 3: The students make sentences using the words on the blackboard. Each sentence can include more than one word and must be meaningful and grammatically correct. One point is awarded for each correctly used word. The teacher crosses out the word which has been correctly used. If the word is crossed out, it cannot be used again.Step 4: Students are encouraged to work quickly and raise their hands as soon as they come up with a sentence. The teacher works as a judge; the group that gets higher points wins.TranslationDirections: Translate the following sentences into English, using the expressions in brackets.1) Because of an emergency, the doctor will not be available for several hours.2) How will taxes affect people with low incomes?3) My mother always told me that in the long run I would be glad I didn’t give uppracticing the piano.4) The books range in price from $10 to $20.5) It seems to me that you don’t have much choice.6) Given their inexperience, they have done quite a good job.7) For such a big house the price is fairly cheap/low, but you’ve got to take intoconsideration the money you will spend on repairs.8) Can we begin by discussing questions/problems arising from the last meeting?

(This could also be political – a criticism of thewhole Disney Empire.)Poetic:Roses are red, violets are blue, why can’t black be beautiful too?Geography is everywhere. (This could be silly.)(These are only for your reference, there are no definite answers.)STEP TWOReasons for reference:--- show “innocent” hearts and signs of love;--- desire to express anger against someone or something;--- express a political or social message;--- desire to be destructive;--- manifest boredom, frustration, or delinquency.--- show one’s talent as a graffiti artist4. For or AgainstSamplesFor:-- The originals and goods of high quality are too expensive, especially for low-income people or students;-- Pirated products and fake/inferior goods are good for promotional purposes because books, CDs, movies, tapes and famous brands will be available or known to more people. When they can afford them in their original state they’ll surely buy them.-- Pirated products and famous brands help to make the authors of the books, CDs, movies, or tapes, and the manufacturers better known or more popular. Nobody would even know who were the producers of the pirated or fake/inferior goods.-- More people will have jobs to make these products or goods. Sure the unemployment rate will be lowered.Against:-- Pirated products and fake goods are against the Copyright Law or violate the intellectual property rights;-- The authors, publishers and manufacturer are likely to suffer big financial losses;-- Piracy and counterfeiting encourage cheating and show no respect for other people’s work;-- Piracy and counterfeiting give rise to a large quantity of low-quality products andgoods, and therefore result in a waste of resources and human labor;-- Piracy and counterfeiting damage our country’s image and put our country in a disadvantageous position in some international negotiations;-- The common value system has been distorted where piracy and counterfeiting dominate. Creativity and originality will diminish or decline.5.Working together to Solve the Social ProblemsFor teachers: To facilitate the activity, teachers can refer to Activity 3, Part I, of this unit for social problems presented by each delegate. Show your studentsthese problems.SamplesChinese delegate: The population in China, though large, has shown signs of decreasing in the growth rate. Thanks to the family-planning policy, fewer babies have been born in the last thirty years. The demand on natural resources decreases gradually in different branches of industry. The policy met great opposition at the very beginning because it was against our old concept, more children greater happiness. Now the great majority of people are aware of the advantages the policy has brought to our country as well as to individual families. The Chinese government should continue to implement this policy,especially in rural areas. Also, China should develop green economy and reduce its heavy dependence on fossil fuels. The Chinese government should invest in the research and development of green energy, such as solar energy, wind energy and etc. And, the government should make stricter laws and regulations on food safety. Dishonest food producers should be harshly punished and fined so that the rest of them will be warned. Finally, the moral awareness and sense of social responsibility should be raised among citizens. People should care more about others and be ready to help each other when needed.The US delegate: The U.S. has been rather slow in working with cooperative programs to solve social problems. Initially our government felt we should plan and execute its own programs, but this approach appears to be changing. The problems of unemployment, a declining economy, agricultural production and trade, and social unrest have increased our attendance and participation in international meetings, including some of those which the United Nations has initiated. It is clear that only if the problems related to the economy, unemployment, food for the world population, and social unrest, become international in scope can there be international stability. And resolution of political and military conflicts have interfered with our U.S. efforts in the past, but appear to be improving. Exchanges between government officials from other countries and the U.S. have been held, and these appear to be mutually beneficial to the U.S. and to its trade partners as well. Hopefully, there will be greater support for international attention to global warming, overpopulation in Africa and Asia, and reduction of military warfare which has only interfered with efforts to solve social problems.Part Four Translation and Writing2.
