谎言的实质在夏洛特斯维尔的弗吉尼亚大里，心理学教授贝拉·德帕罗组织了一次由77名学生和70名市民志愿参加的特别活动。
所有参加者要记一周的日记，记录下自己撒谎的次数和细节。
1名学生和6名夏洛特斯维尔的居民自称没有撒过谎。
另外140名参加者共汁撒谎1535次。
大部分谎言我们大多数人常常不认为是什么惊天动地的。
有人对配偶或是对朋友表现出虚情假意，或对某位亲属的观点佯装赞同。
依德帕罗之见，女土们在相互交往中主要是为不伤对方面子而撒谎，男士们一般则是为了抬高自我而说谎。
令人极为惊奇的是，这1000多条谎盲的制造者们声称，他们对自己的欺骗行为“不大在乎或不觉愧疚”。
难道这也是在撒谎?或许是吧。
不过，确有证据表明，人们对随便使用谎言的这种态度是很常见的。
例如，加州马里纳-戴尔雷的一个致力于人格教育的非营利性组织——约瑟夫森伦理道德研究所对两万名中学生进行过调查。
92％的青少年承认一年中对父母撒过谎，73％把自己视为“连续撒谎的人”，也就是说他们每星期都撒谎。
尽管如此，受测人中“对自己的道德和人品表示满意”的却占到了91％。
想想我们是多么经常地听到这些话：“我会打电话给你”、“支票马上汇来”、“对不起，他出去了”。
还有那些以律师、专家和公关顾问为职的人们，他们的专职似乎就是编造事实以满足客户的需要。
无关紧要的小谎言无处不在，而我们撒谎的理由也大同小异。
看看这个例子，是关于南加州的一个公司经理的，我就叫他汤姆吧。
他每年感恩节都要携妻带子回岳母家吃饭。
汤姆十分不喜欢岳母做的“风味独特”的南瓜馅饼，但为了不伤她面子，他总是对她说那是多么好吃。
“这有什么不好？”汤姆问约瑟夫森研究所的所长迈克尔·约瑟夫森。
可能我们每个人都会问这样的问题。
约瑟夫森要汤姆站在岳母的立场上考虑一下他的谎言。
假设有一天，汤姆的孩子一不小心说漏了嘴，使她了解了实情。
她会对女婿说“谢谢你考虑这么周到”吗?还是更有可能感到受了伤害并说“你怎么能骗我这么多年?你还对我撒了哪些谎?”汤姆的岳母现在对她自己的女儿又会有什么看法呢?汤姆的儿子会不会也对自己的父母撒谎同时还对自己的品行沾沾自喜呢?我们恭维他人如何漂亮，对收到的礼物表示感激，其实心里并不这么想，这种情况多么司空见惯?毫无疑问，这些“美丽的谎言”于他人无害且初衷良好，是社交中不可缺少的润滑剂。

这就像参加晚会时, 盯着那些似曾相识的脸孔, 可怎么也想不起名字一样。
2.. He looked conf used, a reminder that clever’s not clever if it doesn’t communicate.He looked confused, and his puzzled look reminded me that my answer was not clever at all because it couldn’t be understood.他一脸的迷惑，这是在提醒我，如果不能使对方明白，这词儿就不能算用得聪明。
3.Just not right now, now when it mattered, now when the fate ofa curious, intelligent immigrant hung on the answers he assumed would fall from a native speaker’s tongue as naturally as leaves from an October tree.I couldn’t say the answer right now, because this answer was so important that the fate of this curious and intelligent Pakistani driver kind of relied on it. I couldn’t tell the answer precisely, though he supposed it would be so natural for me to give him an answer as a native speaker, as natural as leaves falling from an October tree.这我可以回答，但不是在此时。

At about 5:15 a.m., Antonetti's roommate said she found her attacked and on the couch, bleeding from her head. Police said EMS transported Antonetti to the hospital, where she died 18 days later from head injuries resulting from the attack.The initial investigation went cold after authorities said they were unable to charge a suspect in this case. However, the case was re-examined in 2007 by the Cold Case Unit. In the examination, police said they followed up on an anonymous tip that was received that year.The 2007 tip produced more leads, which ultimately led to the charge of one of Antonetti's ex-boyfriends.Some 23 years later, the case was presented to a grand jury on June 10, and resulted in a charge for first-degree murder against Dennis Davis.Though Davis was previously interviewed at the time of the murder, he was never listed as a suspect. Police said he is currently in custody awaiting a hearing.Mind Mapassault n.侵犯人身（罪）couch n.长沙发EMS 紧急医疗服务（emergency medical service）Cold Case Unit 悬案组anonymous tip 匿名举报lead n.线索custody n.拘留，拘押Info Box1. Detective storyThe traditional elements of the detective story are: (1) the seemingly perfect crime; (2) the wrongly accused suspect at whom circumstantial evidence points; (3) the bungling (搞得一团糟) of dim-witted police;(4) the greater powers of observation and superior mind of the detective; and (5) the startling and unexpected denouement, in which the detective reveals how the identity of the culprit was ascertained. Detective stories frequently operate on the principle that superficially convincing evidence is ultimately irrelevant. Usually it is also axiomatic that the clues from which a logical solution to the problem can be reached be fairly presented to the reader at exactly the same time that the sleuth (侦探) receives them and that the sleuth deduce the solution to the puzzle from a logical interpretation of these clues.The first detective story was The Murders in the Rue Morgue by Edgar Allan Poe, published in April 1841. The profession of detective had come into being only a few decades earlier, and Poe is generally thought to have been influenced by the Mémoires(1828–29) of François-Eugène Vidocq, who in 1817 founded the world’s first detective bureau, in Paris.Poe’s fictional French detective, C. Auguste Dupin, appeared in two other stories, The Mystery of Marie Roget (1845) and The Purloined Letter (1845). The detective story soon expanded to novel length.The introduction of the mass-produced paperback book in the late 1930s made detective-story writers wealthy, among them the Americans Erle Stanley Gardner, whose criminal lawyer Perry Mason unraveled crimes in court, Rex Stout, with his fat, orchid-raising detective Nero Wolfe and his urbane assistant Archie Goodwin, and Frances and Richard Lockridge, with another bright married couple, Mr. and Mrs. North. In France, Georges Simenon produced novel after novel at a rapid-fire pace, making his hero, Inspector Maigret, one of the best-known detectives since Sherlock Holmes. Other writers who carried out the tradition of Holmes or broke new ground included Nicholas Blake (pseudonym of the poet C. Day-Lewis), Michael Innes, Dame Ngaio Marsh, Josephine Tey, Carter Dickson (John Dickson Carr), and P. D. James. After 1945, writers such as John Le Carré adapted the detective-story format to the increasingly popular spy novel.The Mystery Writers of America, a professional organization founded in 1945 to elevate the standards of mystery writing, including the detective story, has exerted an important influence through its annual Edgar Allan Poe Awards for excellence.2. Identical twinsIdentical twins develop from a single egg/sperm combination that splits a few days after conception. Their DNA originates from a single source, thus their genetic makeup is the same and the characteristics that are determined by genetics will be similar. Monozygotic twins are always of the same gender, except in extremely rare cases of chromosomal defect.同卵双胞胎即单卵双胞胎，是一个精子与一个卵子结合产生的一个受精卵。

The Story of Steve JobsThis is the text of the Commencement Address by Steve Jobs, CEO of Apple Computer and of Pixar Animation Studios, at Stanford University, delivered on June 12, 2005.1 I am honored to be with you today at your commencement from one of the finest universities in the world. I never graduated from college. Truth be told, this is the closest I've ever gotten to a college graduation. I dropped out of Reed College after the first 6 months, but then stayed around as a drop-in for another 18 months or so before I really quit. So why did I drop out?2 It started before I was born. My biological mother was a young, unwed college graduate student, and she decided to put me up for adoption. She felt very strongly that I should be adopted by college graduates, so everything was all set for me to be adopted at birth by a lawyer and his wife except that when I popped out they decided at the last minute that they really wanted a girl. So my parents, who were on a waiting list, got a call in the middle of the night asking, "We have an unexpected baby boy; do you want him?"They said, "Of course."My biological mother later found out that my mother had never graduated from college and that my father had never graduated from high school. She refused to sign the final adoption papers. She only relented a few months later when my parents promised that I would someday go to college. This was the start in my life.3 And 17 years later I did go to college.But I naively chose a college that was almost as expensive as Stanford, and all of my working-class parents' savings were being spent on my college tuition. After six months, I couldn't see the value in it. I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life and no idea how college was going to help me figure it out. And here I was spending all of the money my parents had saved their entire life. So I decided to drop out and trusted that it would all work out OK. It was pretty scary at the time, but looking back it was one of the best decisions I ever made. The minute I dropped out I could stop taking the required classes that didn't interest me, and begin dropping in on the ones that looked far more interesting. It wasn't all romantic. I didn't have a dorm room, so I slept on the floor in friends' rooms. I returned coke bottles for the five-cent deposits to buy food with, and I would walk the 7 miles across town 本文是苹果计算机公司和皮克斯动画工作室的首席执行官史蒂夫?乔布斯于2005年6月12日在斯坦福大学毕业典礼上的演讲稿。

1 Lindsey, sitting on the couch in her living room, turned on the 5 o’clock news channel.1 琳赛坐在起居室的沙发上，打开电视，收看新闻频道5点的整点播报。
2 “Supposedly, new evidence has been found identifying a person connected to a four-year-old robbery case in Portland, Oregon, and a fingerprint was able to be matched with one of the perpetrators at the last crime scene,”reporting from Channel 10 news scrolls across the TV screen in bold letters. A picture was shown on the screen, identified by the fingerprint. (To be continued) 2 “据称，新证据已确认一名嫌犯，该嫌犯与四年前在俄勒冈州波特兰市发生的一起抢劫案有关，现场采集的一枚指纹与上起犯罪现场中一名凶犯的相吻合。
”这条新闻在第10频道以粗体字形式在电视屏幕上滚动播出。
而根据指纹所鉴定的嫌犯照片也一同出现在屏幕上。
Lindsey looked at the photo and went into shock because it was her or her twin sister Sara being accused of the robberies. Lindsey and Sara were identical twin sisters and their personalities were the only key to telling one from the other. Lindsey was quiet and conservative, while Sara enjoyed partying with her friends. Sara was killed last year in a car accident. She was hit by a drunk driver and died instantly, before the paramedics arrived on the scene.看到照片，琳赛陷入了震惊，因为被指控犯下这些抢劫案的正是她或她的双胞胎姐妹萨拉。

Why do people tell white lies?Because they‘re white and more polite and make people feel all right.2. What are the common white lies?I say I'm 10 when I'm 9 and a half; I pretend I‘m asleep when my dad walks in, etc. II. Cultural Background（粗体的部门注意在ppt中要保持粗体）1. A white lie is one that lacks evil intent, as opposed to a black lie, which is most certainly malevolent, though normally we don‘t bother to specify that lies are evil. A white lie is harml ess or trivial, which is frequently said in order to avoid hurting someone‘s feelings.2. Behavioral scientist Wendy Gamble identified four basic types of lies for a University of Arizona study in 2000:Prosocial:Lying to protect someone, to benefit or help others.Self-enhancement:Lying to save face, to avoid embarrassment, disapproval or punishment.Selfish:Lying to protect the self at the expense of another, and/or to conceal a misdeed. Antisocial:Lying to hurt someone else intentionally.Section Two Global ReadingI. Text Analysis / Main IdeaThis is a piece of persuasive writing. It is of journalistic style.In this text, the author asserts the ubiquitous presence of petty white lies, analyzes its causes, discusses its grave consequences, and concludes that some lies are justifiable, while others are tobe avoided.II. Structural AnalysisThe author begins with the results of two surveys. Then he comments on the consequences of telling lies. In the end, he discusses which lies should be avoided.Part I (Paras. 1-6) introduces the topic by reporting two survey results.Part II (Paras. 7-11) shows that people often tell white lies so as not to hurt others.Part III (Paras. 12-15) deals with the consequences of telling lies.Part IV (Paras. 16-18) discusses whether lies should be avoided at all costs.Section Three Detailed ReadingI.Text 1The Real Truth about LiesRandy Fitzgerald1 At the University of Virginia in Charlottesville, psychology professor Bella DePaulo got 77 students and 70 townspeople to volunteer for an unusual project. All kept diaries for a week, recording the numbers and details of the lies they told.2 One student and six Charlottesville residents professed to have told no falsehoods. The other 140 participants told 1535.3 The lies were most often not what most of us would call earth-shattering. Someone would pretend to be more positive or supportive of a spouse or friend than he or she really was, or feign agreement with a re lative‘s opinion. According to DePaulo, women in their interactions with other women lied mostly to spare the other‘s feelings. Men lied to other men generally for self-promoting reasons.4 Most strikingly, these tellers-of-a-thousand-lies reported that their deceptions caused them ―little preoccupation or regret.‖ Might that, too, be a lie? Perhaps. But there is evidence that this attitude towards casual use of prevarication is common.5 For example, 20,000 middle and high-schoolers were surveyed by the Josephson Institute of Ethics – a nonprofit organization in Marina del Rey, California, devoted to character education. Ninety-two per cent of the teenagers admitted having lied to their parents in the previous year, and 73 per cent characterized the mselves as ―serial liars,‖ meaning they told lies weekly. Despite these admissions, 91 per cent of all respondents said they were ―satisfied with my own ethics and character.‖6 Think how often we hear the expressions ―I‘ll call you‖ or ―The check is in the mail‖ or ―I‘m sorry, but he stepped out.‖ And then there are professions—lawyers, pundits, public relations consultants —whose members seem to specialize in shaping or spinning the truth to suit clients‘ needs.7 Little white lies have become ubiquitous, and the reasons we give each other for telling fib s are familiar. Consider, for example, a corporate executive whom I‘ll call Tom. He goes with his wife and son to his mother-in-law‘s home for a holiday dinner every year. Tom dislikes her ―special‖ pumpkin pie intensely. Invariably he tells her how wonderful it is, to avoid hurting her feelings.8 ―What‘s wrong with that?‖ Tom asked Michael Josephson, president of the Josephson Institute. It‘s a question we might all ask.9 Josephson replied by asking Tom to consider the lie from his mother-in-law‘s point of view. Suppose that one day Tom‘s child blurts out the truth, and she discovers the deceit. Will she tell her son-in-law, ―Thank you for caring so much?‖ Or is she more likely to feel h urt and say, ―How could you have misled me all these years? And what else have you lied to me about? ―10 And what might Tom‘s mother-in-law now suspect about her own daughter? And will Tom‘s boy lie to his parents and yet be satisfied with his own cha racter?11 How often do we compliment people on how well they look, or express our appreciation for gifts, when we don‘t really mean it? Surely, these ―nice lies‖ are harmless and well intended, a necessary social lubricant. But, like Tom, we should remember the words of English novelist Sir Walter Scott, who wrote, ―What a tangled web we weave, when first we practice to deceive.‖12 Even seemingly harmless falsehoods can have unforeseen consequences. Philosopher Sissela Bok warns us that they can p ut us on a slippery slope. ‗After the first lies, others can come more easily,‖ she wrote in her book Lying: Moral Choice in Public and Private Life. ―Psychological barriers wear down; the ability to make more distinctions can coarsen; the liar‘s perception of his chances of being caught may warp.‖（斜体的部分注意在ppt中保持斜体）13 Take the pumpkin-pie lies. In the first place, it wasn‘t just that he wanted his mother-in-law to feel good. Whether he realized it or not, he really wanted her to think highly of him. And after the initial deceit he needed to tell more lies to cover up the first one.14 Who believes it anymore when they‘re told that the person they want to reach by phone is ―in a meeting‖? By itself, that kind of lie is of no great consequence. Still, the endless proliferation of these little prevarications does matter.15 Once they‘ve become common enough, even the small untruths that are not meant to hurt encourage a certain cynicism and loss of trust. ―When [trust] is damaged,‖ warns Bok, ―the community as a whole suffers; and when it is destroyed, societies falter and collapse.‖16 Are all white lies to be avoided at all costs? Not necessarily. The most understandable and forgivable lies are an exchange of what ethicists refer to as the principle of trust for the principle of caring, ―like telling children about the tooth fairy, or deceiving someone to set themup for a surprise party,‖ Josephson says. ―Still, we must ask ourselves if we are willing to give our friends and associates the au thority to lie to us whenever they think it is for our own good.‖17 Josephson suggests a simple test. If someone you lie to finds out the truth, will he thank you for caring? Or will he feel his long-term trust in you has been undermined?18 And if you‘re not sure, Mark Twain has given us a good rule of thumb. ―When in doubt, tell the truth. It will confound your enemies and astound your friends.‖II. Questions1.What is the result of Professor Bella DePaulo‘s survey? What conclusion can we drawfrom the result? (Paragraphs 1-2)According to the survey done by Professor DePaulo, 140 out of 147 people admitted having told lies. As some of the lies are well-intentioned, people may not regard them as lies. This result shows that telling lies is common.2.What is the result of the survey conducted by Josephson Institute of Ethics? What can welearn from it? (Paragraph 5)According to this survey, among 20,000 students surveyed, 92 percent professed to have told lies and meanwhile, 91 percent never doubted about their own ethics or character. Again, this result shows that telling lies is common and people seldom relate telling lies to morality.3.According to the writer, what could be considered ―nice lies‖? (Paragraph 11)According to the writer, all these co uld be considered ―nice lies‖: complimenting people on their appearance, expressing appreciation for gifts or food.4.What is the grave consequence of telling lies? (Paragraph 15)The ubiquitousness of lies may cause people to be distrustful of each other, thus leading to the collapse of the whole society.Class Activity （该部分放在课文第11段的页面中）Group discussion:What does this sentence ―What a tangled web we weave, when first we practice to deceive‖ mean?Can you give an example to illustrate its meaning?III. Words and Expressionsprofess v.e.g. James professed to know everything about sculpture.He professed the greatest respect for the law.Practice:（制作的时候中文先出现，然后设置按钮，点击以后出现英文翻译）她自称对此事一无所知。

UNIT PREVIEW In this unit, you will:Teacher’s Reference1. Leave Your Key Under the DoormatIt’s not uncommon for people to hide their spare keys under the doormat. They probably figur e, “Hey, it’s conveniently there right in front of the door, and who checks underneath the doormat anyway?” Here’s an answer, “Thieves do.” It’s about the oldest trick and somehow, many still insist on falling back on the same thing. It doesn’t take that m uch effort to place your duplicate in a more inconspicuous place.But, the other reason why some people choose to hide their key under the doormat is because they’re likely to forget where they placed the duplicate key. It’s not unheard of for someone to call a Locksmith (A company provides the security products) simply because they can’t remember where they placed their duplicate. But this measure is still much safer than hiding it underneath the doormat. Calling a Locksmith, or getting robbed, i t’s safe to say most would opt for the former rather than the latter. Try investing in something like a fake rock with a hidden niche underneath; you can just stick it in the bushes and let nature camouflage it for you! Just d on’t forget where you placed it.2. Cyber NinjasCyber Ninjas, computer-security experts, has become the most urgent demand in this digital age. As attacks on vital computer systems proliferate, surveys show a serious shortage of talent to combat them. Banks, military contractors and software companies, along with federal agencies, are looking for “cyber ninjas” to fend off a sophisticated array of hackers, from criminals stealing credit card numbers to potential military enemies.1.I guess it’s just a genetic flaw in humans.genetic adj.belonging or relating to genes (= parts of the DNA in cells) received from parentsa genetic flaw = a genetic defect 遗传缺陷2.More disturbing, said Mr. Shulman, was that about 20 percent of people picked from thesame, relatively small pool of 5,000 passwords.disturbing adj. making you feel worried or upsete.g. The Home Secretary described the latest crime figures as 'disturbing'.The following programme contains scenes that may be disturbing to some viewers.relatively adv.relatively good/bad quite good/bade.g. He's a relatively good squash player.There was relatively little violence.relatively speaking 相对来讲e.g. Relatively speaking, it's a fairly poor country.3.…that hackers could easily break into many accounts just by trying the most commonpasswords.break into/break in sth. phrasal verb to get into a building or car using force, usually to steal somethinge.g. The burglars broke in through the kitchen window.My car's been broken into twice this month.4.…the prevalence of fast computers and speedy networks…prevalent adj. existing very commonly or happening oftene.g. These diseases are more prevalent among young children.e.g. Trees are dying in areas where acid rain is most prevalent.prevalence noun5. ...hackers can fire off thousands of password guesses per minute.

Text A：分别被领养的双胞胎每70个新生婴儿中就会有一对双胞胎。
双胞胎分为两种：异卵双生和同卵双生。
异卵双胞胎是由两个卵子发育而成。
他们就像其他许多的兄弟姐妹一样，只是他们是同年同月同日生的。
异卵双胞胎外表可能会彼此相像，但也未必。
他们可能会有相同的好恶，但也可能截然相反。
有时人们可分辨出两个孩子是双胞胎，但有时也分辨不出。
异卵双胞胎可以是两个男孩、两个女孩、亦或是一男一女。
有三分之一的双胞胎会是同卵双生。
是由一个卵子发育而成。
他们拥有同样的DNA。
他们在外貌、谈吐以及行为方面都十分相像。
他们只可能是两个男孩或是两个女孩。
在大多数人看来他们长得一模一样，人们总是很难分辨他们。
除了长相之外，同卵双胞胎的愿望、梦想和目标都是相同的。
科学家们还发现，他们甚至拥有相同的口味与饮食习惯，如，在食用相同数量的食物后他们会同时觉得饱。
同卵双胞胎的相似性表现在很多方面。
Theo Jones 和 Jim Tomas 就是一个例子。
他们是同卵双胞胎，然而Theo和Jim在很小的时候就被分开了。
他们出生后不久就被不同的家庭收养。
39年后团聚时，他们被各自生活中的许多相似之处所震惊。
他们发现：Theo和Jim都结过两次婚，两个人的前妻都叫Susan，两个人的第二任妻子都叫Nadia。
他们同样都有一只叫做Joy的狗，他们都吸烟，都喜欢啤酒、驾驶大型车。
Theo和Jim还有其他令人惊讶的相似之处：他们都会啃指甲、在过去的三届选举中，他们都为同一候选人投票、他们都很爱他们的第二任妻子，都在房子的每个角落留下爱的信息。
科学家们想研究自出生便分离的双胞胎，这个研究可以解答他们的疑问：先天拥有与后天培养，哪一个更重要？什么是友谊？什么是朋友？答案因人而异。
你的爱好是什么？你认为重要的事情是什么？通常朋友有共同的喜好。
例如，朋友经常会喜欢同一种运动项目，爱看同一部电影或欣赏同一类型音乐。
他们愿意一起来做这些事情。
朋友还拥有同样的信念。

Unit 1Text 1我的父亲——一位著名男演员的女儿讲述的故事埃米。
米特福德我并不真正了解父亲，他不是个很容易相处的人。
我觉得他比较以自我为中心，还宵一点儿虚荣．在某些方面还会让人觉得有距离感。
公众肯定都认为他很随和，其实在家的时候他基本上都是独处，不怎么跟我们交流。
我小的时候父亲火溉很少在家，因为我几乎没有什么关于他的记忆。
他对家庭生洒．直是有一些生疏。
对他来说，工作总是放在第一位，而且他总是在外地演戏或是排练。
他喜欢别人找他签名，也喜欢被别人认出的感觉。
他获得过几个奖项，并为此感到非常骄傲。
他成为一名大英帝国荣誉公民，我们必须到白金汉宫去领取勋章。
那真是令人难以置信的乏味。
还何其他数百人获得同样的荣誉，所以你得一直坐在那里等好几个小时。
每当有人来拜访我们家时，父亲总爱把他的奖品拿出来炫耀。
我上过私立寄宿学校，但是因为对学习毫无兴趣并且总是缺课，被勒令退学了。
我本来就不想去那儿上学，因此，我就和我所有的朋友们分开了。
把我送到那个学校读书他一一定很高兴，但事实上，到最后这一切只是浪费金钱而已。
我想我让他感到非常失望。
后来我也试着做过儿份工作；但是都不能安心长久地做下去。
然后，我意识到我真正想做的是生活在乡村照料牲畜，所以，我现在就做这个。
作为一家人，无论是情感上还是空间上我们都不那么亲密。
这些日子我们彼此很少见面。
我和父亲就像石膏和奶酪’一样完全不同。
我的兴趣一直都在乡村，而他则喜欢书本和音乐，尤其是歌剧，这恰恰是我所讨厌的。
如果他们来看我们，他们的衣着也完全不适合在乡村穿——貂皮大衣和漂亮的但不适合在田间走长路的小皮鞋。
父亲对我结婚更是完全反对。
他一直希望我和我的丈夫分开。
查拉德太卑微了，我想。
而父亲一定是怨让我嫁给一个有名望的人，但我没有。

9 然而，年轻男子却在琳赛对面的位子上坐了下来，自我介绍说是约翰尼，并开始毫不避讳地跟她谈论起自己的感受以及他与萨拉的恋情，这激起了琳赛的兴趣。而他也提到 了那些抢劫案，说四起案件中有三起是萨拉和他一起干的。他说，萨拉一点也没害怕，她甚至觉得这事很刺激。他给她看了一些照片，那是萨拉住在波特兰的时候和他在公寓 里拍的合影。琳赛注意到在他们谈话的大部分时间里，他都在摆弄外套上的拉链。接下来，她和约翰尼就像素未谋面一样分手了。而琳赛也明白了为什么萨拉在这里呆了那么 久，因为和她们波澜不兴的家乡丘奇兰德相比，这里的确很美丽。
10 当天晚些时候，琳赛回到了宾馆收拾行李，准备第二天上午回丘奇兰德。她急着回家，因为她已经找到了证据，结束了调查。第二天，她打电话给妈妈讲述了这次旅程的细节；然而，从妈妈的口气中，她感觉妈妈似乎在隐瞒着什么。次日一早，琳赛来到警察局，打算和办理四年前那个案子的警察谈 话。她被带进一个昏暗的小房间，里面有两个警探。于是，她急急慌慌地讲述了起来，并且手里拿着一些记录作为佐证。看到琳赛为洗脱嫌疑投入了如此多的时间、精力和金 钱，两位警探对此甚为好奇。

大学英语综合教程3课文翻译第五单元最终，他于星期天凌晨3点工作致死。
当然，讣告上没有这样写。
讣告上写的是死于冠状动脉血栓证，但他的好友和熟识的人都心知肚明。
他们互相握着手，摇头叹息地说他是一个追求完美的A型血人，一个典型的工作狂，然后用几分钟时间来反思自己的生活方式。
这个男人最终在星期天凌晨三点整工作致死。
星期天的早上，这天刚好是这个51岁的副总裁的休息日。
他是公司六位副总裁之一，也是副总裁中三位最让人信任的人之一，如果总裁已经逝世或者退休的话，他已经成为了最高职位。
菲尔清楚这一点。
他一周工作六天，其中五天工作到夜里八九点，他的公司里除了高级官员，其他人都已经开始四天工作制。
当然，就像你想象中那样，他每月打一次高尔夫球，他没有其他的爱好。
.对菲尔而言，高尔夫是工作。
他总是在他的桌前吃着吃鸡蛋沙拉三明治，他难免有点发福，超重了20-25磅。
他想这没什么关系，因为他从不抽烟。
星期六，菲尔换下西服，穿着运动衫去上班，因为这是周末。
他有大约60个人为他效力，大部分人在大部分时候觉得他很不错。
其中三位紧盯着他的职位。
讣告上没有提及这些。
但是讣告详细地介绍了他的遗孀。
他的妻子，海伦，一个48岁的好女人，没有什么特别的市场能力，在结婚生子之前在一家公司上班。
她说，在女儿的记忆里，她很多年前，当孩子们还很小的时候，就放弃了和他工作的抗争。
一个工作伙伴说，“我知道你将对他有多思念”，她回答到，“我一直都很想他。
”“想了他这么多年了，”她如此在乎的这个男人，必须放弃她，以后她将会被“好好的照顾”。
他的“最爱的”孩子们中“最爱的”长子是南方某制造公司努力工作的经理。
在葬礼前的一天半里，他走访邻居询问邻居们询问邻居对他的印象。
他们很尴尬。
他的第二个孩子是一个女孩，24岁了，刚刚结婚。
她和妈妈住的很近，很亲密，但是无论什么时候，当她和爸爸独处的时候，哪怕是在一辆车中，他们互相没有什么言语。
最小的是一个男孩，20岁，高中毕业生，像很多他的朋友一样，做一些零工，吃喝玩乐。

UNIT 5Active reading (1) 乔安妮餐厅的晚餐雪下得很大，虽然每个真正的纽约人都盼着过一个白色的圣诞，可还在第五大道购物的人们却行色匆匆，他们不但要在最后一刻前挑选到心仪的圣诞礼物，还要避开严寒，回家和亲人们共度圣诞夜。
乔希莱斯特拐进了第四十六街。
他还没来得及享受圣诞的气氛，因为他仍在工作着，虽说是要在乔安妮餐厅吃一顿工作餐。
乔希是黑人，三十出头，长得平易近人，穿着时髦得体，却不华贵。
他来自弗吉尼亚州北部，父母都是辛勤工作的人，或许只有回到父母家里才最让他感到幸福。
单从他的行为举止，别人看不出他拥有一个哈佛法学院的学位，一段在华盛顿特区跟从国会议员实习的经历，还有纽约一家律师事务所初级合伙人的身份。
他才华横溢，思维敏捷，聪明过人。
这次会面意味着乔希要过了圣诞夜才能回家了。
他并没有因此而不高兴，因为他要见的人是康涅狄格州的资深参议员乔罗杰斯，此人是全美曝光率最高的名人之一。
参议员罗杰斯是民主党人，现在是她的第三个任期，对于国会山的一切她了如指掌，尽管如此，她还是尽力维持住了在她的支持者心中作为一位华盛顿局外人的信誉。
她支持堕胎，反对腐败，支持减少二氧化碳排量，反对死刑，可以说是大西洋的这一边能找到的最完美的进步自由派人士。
脱口秀主持人们称呼她“诚实的参议员乔”，几年前《时代周刊》提名她参加年度女性的角逐。
明年就是选举年了，有消息称她将参加民主党内总统提名的竞选。
罗杰斯在华盛顿见过乔希，她觉得乔希很有才干，于是就邀他共进晚餐。
乔希打了个冷战，他打开手里的纸条核对了一下地址。
之前他没来过乔安妮餐厅，但对于它的鼎鼎大名却早有耳闻，倒不是因为这里的饭菜有多美味，其实这里的菜品屡遭恶评，也不是因为这里的爵士管弦乐队有一位知名电影导演客串吹小号，而是因为这里汇集了有头有脸的宾客，可以说是星光璀璨，他们中有政客、外交家、电影明星、载入名人堂的体育明星、记者、作家、摇滚明星、诺贝尔奖得主等等——总之，这里的每一位客人都是这座权力之城里的一个人物.餐厅里面人头攒动。

1 Lindsey, sitting on the couch in her living room, turned on the 5 o’clock news channel.1 琳赛坐在起居室的沙发上，打开电视，收看新闻频道5点的整点播报。
2 “Supposedly, new evidence has been found identifying a person connected to a four-year-old robbery case in Portland, Oregon, and a fingerprint was able to be matched with one of the perpetrators at the last crime scene,”reporting from Channel 10 news scrolls across the TV screen in bold letters. A picture was shown on the screen, identified by the fingerprint. (To be continued) 2 “据称，新证据已确认一名嫌犯，该嫌犯与四年前在俄勒冈州波特兰市发生的一起抢劫案有关，现场采集的一枚指纹与上起犯罪现场中一名凶犯的相吻合。
”这条新闻在第10频道以粗体字形式在电视屏幕上滚动播出。
而根据指纹所鉴定的嫌犯照片也一同出现在屏幕上。
Lindsey looked at the photo and went into shock because it was her or her twin sister Sara being accused of the robberies. Lindsey and Sara were identical twin sisters and their personalities were the only key to telling one from the other. Lindsey was quiet and conservative, while Sara enjoyed partying with her friends. Sara was killed last year in a car accident. She was hit by a drunk driver and died instantly, before the paramedics arrived on the scene.看到照片，琳赛陷入了震惊，因为被指控犯下这些抢劫案的正是她或她的双胞胎姐妹萨拉。
琳赛和萨拉是同卵双胞胎，她们之间唯一的明显区别是性格不同：琳赛文静保守，而萨拉则外向开放，喜欢和朋友聚会。
萨拉去年死于一场车祸，被一个醉酒的司机撞倒，当场死亡，医务人员根本来不及到达现场进行抢救。
3 Furthermore, Lindsey had been getting these strange dreams recently at night, in which she was the perpetrator. Some dreams involved her robbing an elderly couple in broad daylight of their vehicle and expensive jewels. (To be continued)3 除此之外，最近，琳赛夜里还经常做一些怪梦，梦见自己是一名凶犯。
有时，她梦见自己在光天化日之下，抢劫一对老夫妇的汽车和贵重珠宝。
Other dreams involved her torturing and burning an old man on his chest and face with an iron pipe as he was tied to his bed in his home. Lindsey was unclear as to why she was having these images, nor did she know where these crimes had taken place. She replayed the broadcast message in her mind and wondered if her images and the robberies had any connection.有时，她梦见自己在一个老人的家里，老人则被她绑在床上，她正用一根铁管折磨和灼烧他的胸部和脸部。
琳赛不知道为什么会有这些梦境，也不知道这些犯罪行为发生在哪儿。
然后，她又想了想刚刚播放的消息，心里纳闷：这些梦境和抢劫案究竟有没有关系？4 “Hello, Mom, did you see the picture of me or Sara on the news a few minutes ago?” Lindsey asked in a slow tone of voice.5 “Y es, honey,why is your photo on the news?”6 “It’s not me, Mom. It’s Sara. I’ve never lived nor stayed in Portland, Oregon.”4“嗨，妈妈，你看到几分钟前新闻里那张我的或是萨拉的照片了吗？”琳赛缓缓问道。
5“看到了。
亲爱的，你的照片怎么会出现在新闻里？”6“那不是我，妈妈，是萨拉，我从来没在俄勒冈州波特兰市住过或待过。
”7 Lindsey hung up the phone before her mom could say another word. She realized that an extensive search on her part was going to be required to remove herself from the case. Moreover, she was going to have to locate the place Sara was living in four years ago around the time of the crimes. Lindsey drove over to Sara’s home in search of anything left behind linking her with the Portland area. (To be continued)7 琳赛没等妈妈回答，就挂断了电话。
她意识到，要洗脱嫌疑，就得靠自己去做大量的调查。
而且，她还必须确定，四年前案件发生前后萨拉住在哪儿。
于是琳赛开车来到萨拉的住处，寻找一切遗留下来的能将萨拉和波特兰地区联系起来的线索。
Her home was still the same, because their mom kept it after Sara passed away. Lindsey entered the living room, the dining room, and the kitchen. The living room looked very clean. Lindsey was with Sara when she bought the home and it seemed weird walking back into the home without her sister around. Lindsey wasn’t surprised at the neatness and cleanness of the rooms. She looked shocked as she entered the bathroom, which was a mess with trash on the tiled floor and a dirt ring around the tub. (To be continued)萨拉家里面貌依旧，她们的妈妈在萨拉去世之后负责料理这所房子。
琳赛走进客厅、餐厅和厨房。
客厅看起来非常干净。
萨拉买这所房子的时候，琳赛和她在一起。
现在，她不在了，琳赛再次走进屋子，总感觉怪怪的。
房间也很干净整洁，对此，琳赛一点都不感到意外，但当她走进浴室的时候，却大吃一惊：浴室里一片狼藉，瓷砖地板上到处都是垃圾，浴缸里还有一圈污垢。
Next, Lindsey walked into her sister’s bedroom and saw her bras and panties thrown on the bed and floor, with an unplugged TV sitting by her water bed. Lindsey proceeded back into the kitchen and found Sara’s address book on the counter. She found three numbers with Oregon area codes, which were for two female friends and an ex-boyfriend named Johnny.接着，琳赛走进了卧室，看见萨拉的内衣和短裤被扔在床上和地上，电视就在水床旁边，插头已经被拔出来了。
之后，她又回到厨房，发现柜子上放着萨拉的通讯录。
她找到带有俄勒冈区号的三个号码，分别是两个女性朋友和萨拉前男友约翰尼的号码。
8 Lindsey took a chance and spoke with both women, who agreed to meet with Lindsey the following day at their homes once she arrived. The following day, Lindsey boarded the first flight out to Portland and arrived at a hotel near the airport. Once she checked in she immediately called both women to confirm the meeting for that afternoon. (To be continued)8 于是，琳赛试着和这两位女士通了电话，她们同意琳赛第二天她们家里见面。
