Salvation religions are typically founded by a prophet or religious leader who creates a basic doctrine which explains to people how salvation might be achieved. The legitimacy and long-term authority of these prophets is often dependent upon possessing a high degree of personal charisma and, sometimes, the ability to work miracles presumably a sign of divine favor and sanction.

Unit 3Cultural DiversityReading IDifferent Lands, Different FriendshipsComprehension questions1. Why is it comparatively easy to make friends in the United States Because few Americans stay put for a lifetime. With each move, forming new friendship becomes a necessity and part of their new life.2. Do people from different countries usually have different expectationsabout what constitutes friendship and how it comes into beingYes. The difficulty when strangers from two countries meet is their different expectations about what constitutes friendship and how it comes into being.3. How is friendship in America different from friendship in West Europe In West Europe, friendship is quite sharply distinguished from other, more casual relationships, is usually more particularized and carries a heavier burden of commitment, while in America the word “friend” can be applied to a wide range of relationship and a friendship may be superficial, casual, situational or deep and enduring.4. In what countr y does friendship have much to do with one’s family And in what country does it notIn Germany, friendship has much to do with one‘s family as friends are usually brought into the family, while in France it doesn’t as, for instance, two men may have been friends for a long time without knowing each other‘s personal life.5. What is friendship like when it is compartmentalizedFor instance, a man may play chess with a friend for thirty years without knowing his political opinions, or he may talk politics with him for as long a time without knowing about his personal life. Different friends fill different niches in each person’s life.6. What are friendships usually based on in EnglandEnglish friendships are based on shared activity. Activities at different stages of life may be of very different kinds. In the midst of the activity, whatever it may be, people fall into steps and find that they participate in the activity with the same easy anticipation of what each will do day by day or in some critical situation.7. Do you think friendship shares some common elements in different cultures If you do, what are theyYes. There is the recognition that friendship, in contrast with kinship, invokes freedom of choice. A friend is someone who chooses and is chosen. Related to this is the sense each friend gives the other of being a special individual, on whatever grounds this recognition is based. And between friends there is inevitably a kind of equality of give-and-take.8. What do you think is the typical Chinese concept of friendship Is it similar to or different from any of the Western friendshipsIt seems that the typical Chinese concept of friendship lays great emphasis on personal loyalty and also has much to do with family. It may be similar to Germany friendship to some extent and quite different from other Western friendships.Reading IIComparing and Contrasting CulturesComprehension questions1. How is the mainstream American culture different from the Japanese cultureAmericans believe that human nature is basically good and man is the master of nature. They are future-oriented and “being”-oriented. Their social orientation is toward the importance of the individual and the equality of all people. However, the Japanese believe that human nature is a mixture of good and evil. Man is in harmony with nature. They are both past-oriented and future-oriented. And they are both “growing-”and “doing-”oriented. They give emphasis to authorities and the group.2. Can you find examples to support the author’s view of traditional cultures in different value orientationsFor example, the traditional Indian culture believes that man is subjugated by nature and it is being-oriented (which can be exemplified by its caste system). Also, traditional Chinese culture is past-oriented, for emphasis has long been given to learning from the old and past.3. Why do Americans tend to equate “change” with “improvement” and regard rapid change as normalConcerning orientation toward time, Americans are dominated by a belief in progress. They are future-oriented. They believe that “time is money”and have an optimistic faith in the future and what the future will bring. So they tend to equate “change” with “improvement” and consider a rapid rate of change as normal.4. What does “Electric Englishman” mean when it is used to describe the AmericanAs for activity, Americans are so action-oriented that they tend to be hyperactive. That’s why that they have been described as “Electric Englishmen”, who always keep themselves busy.5. How would you explain the fact that contradictory values may exist in the same cultureAs time changes faster and faster and there is more contact between cultures, it is more likely to find contradictory values existing in the same culture. This is especially the case in a society that is being transformed from a traditional one into a modern one. For example, in the Japanese culture, some people may still be very past-oriented and some are rather future-oriented, and even the same people may be sometimes past-oriented in certain situations and sometime future-oriented in other situations.6. What can we get from models of this kind about cultural differences Models of this kind are quite useful in giving rough pictures of striking contrasts and differences of different cultures. However, such a model only compares cultures on some basic orientations. It does not tell us everything about every conceivable culture. We have to recognize that models of this kind are over-simplifications and can only give approximations of reality.7. Do cultural values change as time changesYes, the values may be in the process of marked change due to rapidmodernization and globalization. However, they have a way of persisting in spite of change. The evolution of values is a slow process, since they are rooted in survival needs and passed on from generation to generation.8. How is communication influenced by differing cultural valuesPutting people from one culture into another culture with radically different value orientations could cause stress, disorientation, and breakdowns in communication.Case StudyCase 9Hierarchy is significant in the Japanese culture. This structure is reflected everywhere in Japanese life, at home, school, community, organizations, and traditional institutions such as martial arts or flower arrangements.In this case, the young chairman must have had his own ideas about how to manage the company; however, when encountered with his grandfather’s dissenting opinions, he dared not to take a stand against him. This may manifest the rigid hierarchical structure in the Japanese society. In the Japanese society, how hierarchy is formed depends mainly on seniority, social roles, and gender. As a respectable senior member of the family and the former leader of the company, the grandfather obviously overpowered the inexperienced young chairman. In other words, the grandfather seemed to be an absolute authority for the youngchairman. In Japanese culture, challenging or disagreeing with elders’ opinions would be deemed as being disrespectful and is often condemned. People in lower positions are expected to be loyal and obedient to authority. That‘s why the young chairman didn’t say anything but just nodded and agreed with his grandfather.But Phil seemed to know little about the Japanese culture in this aspect. In many Western cultures, particularly American culture, seniority seldom matters very much in such situations, and young people are usually encouraged to challenge authority and voice their own opinions. Unfortunately, his outspoken protest could easily offend the grandfather and he might be regarded as a rude and ill-bred person by other Japanese.Case 10In Japan, a company is often very much like a big family, in which the manger(s) will take good care of the employees and the employees are expected to devote themselves to the development of the company and, if it is necessary, to sacrifice their own individual interests for the interests of the company, from which, in the long run, the employees will benefit greatly. But for the French, a company is just a loosely- knit social organization wherein individuals are supposed to take care ofthemselves and their families. Moreover, the way the French make decisions in the family might also be different from the typical Japanese one, which may not often involve females and the power to decide usually lies with the dominating male. As there are such cultural differences between the Japanese and the French, Mr. Legrand’s de cision made Mr. Tanaka feel dumbfounded.Case 11Incidents such as these can point to possible cultural differences in so-called “polite” behavior, and at the same time highlight the tendency for people to react emotionally to unexpected behavior.People in most cultures would probably agree that an apology is needed when an offence or violation of social norms has taken place. However, there may be differing opinions as to when we should apologize (what situations call for an apology) and how we should apologize. To many Westerners, Japanese apologize more frequently and an apology in Japanese does not necessarily mean that the person is acknowledging a fault. To many Japanese, Westerners may seem to be rude just because they do not apologize as often as the Japanese would do. In this case, for instance, the attitude of the Australian student’s parentsis shocking to the Japanese but will be acceptable in an English-speaking society, for the student is already an adult and can be responsible for her own deeds.Case 12In this case, it seems that the Chinese expectations were not fulfilled. First, having two people sharing host responsibilities could be somewhat confusing to the hierarchically minded Chinese. Second, because age is often viewed as an indication of seniority, the Chinese might have considered the youth of their Canadian hosts as slight to their own status. Third, in China, it is traditional for the host to offer a welcome toast at the beginning of the meal, which is the reciprocated by the guests; by not doing so, the Canadian might be thought rude. The abrupt departure of the Chinese following the banquet was probably an indication that they were not pleased with the way they were treated. The Canadians’ lack of understanding of the Chinese culture and the Chinese ways of communication clearly cost them in their business dealings with the visiting delegation.。

Unit 3TEXT IThree Sundays in a WeekTextRobert, the narrator of the story, was left in the care of his Uncle Rumgudgeon when his parents died. He grew up with Kate, daughter of Uncle Rumgudgeon. Kate had agreed to marry Robert any time he got her father's consent. But the old man would not give his consent until three Sundays came together in a week. Robert was greatly upset.Now it so happened that among Kate's sailor friends were two men who had just traveled around the globe. They had circled it in a year and come back to England. With their help, Kate and I tried to gain our point indirectly. So we invited the pair up to meet my uncle, and after a half hour or so of idle talk, we began to steer the conversation."Well, well, Mr. Rumgudgeon," Captain Pratt started. "Here I am just a year after leaving England —let me see. October 10 —yes, just a year since I called here, you will remember, to bid my friends goodbye. By the way —it does seem a coincidence, really, doesn't it? Captain Smitherton here has also been absent a year exactly — just a year today!" "Why yes, yes, yes," replied my uncle. "Very queer indeed. Both of you gone just a year —very queer indeed. Now, that's what Dr. Double L. Dee would call an extraordinary concurrence of events. Extraordinary! Doctor Doub —""To be sure, papa, it is something strange," Kate interrupted hastily. "But remember that Captain Pratt didn't go by the same route as Captain Smitherton — that makes a difference, you know.""Well," broke in my uncle. "I don't know any such thing! How should I? It only makes the thing even more extraordinary.""Why papa, Captain Pratt went around Cape Horn, and Captain Smitherton doubled the Cape of Good Hope.""Precisely — the one went east and the other went west, you fool! And they both have gone completely around the world. Now, Dr. Double L. Dee —""Captain Pratt, you must come and spend the evening with us tomorrow,"I said, "— you and Captain Smitherton. You can tell us all about your voyages, and we'll have a game of cards —.""Cards? My dear fellow, you forget!" cried Captain Pratt. "Tomorrow will be Sunday, you know. Some other evening!""Sunday?" Kate demanded. "Come, you know Robert's not so bad as that! Todayis Sunday, of course!""To be sure! To be sure!" my uncle added."I must beg both your pardons," Pratt insisted, "but I can't be so much mistaken. I know tomorrow's Sunday, because —"Here Smitherton found his voice at last. He'd been looking at the others as though they were mad. "What are you people thinking about, anyhow? Wasn't yesterday Sunday, I should like to know?"Everyone had an answer for that, but they were different answers. "Today's Sunday!" my uncle roared, purple with anger. "No! No! Tomorrow's Sunday," called Pratt."Why, you are all mad, every one of you! I am as positive that yesterday was Sunday as I am that I'm sitting in this chair."And here Kate ended the quarrel by jumping up, as if she had a new thought. "I see it all! I see it all! It's a judgment on you, papa, about you know what! It's a very simple thing, really. I can explain it in a minute. Here's Captain Smitherton — he says yesterday was Sunday. And so it was. He's right. Bobby and Uncle and I say today is Sunday. And we're right. We're perfectly right. And Captain Pratt is right too, when he says tomorrow is Sunday. —We're all right, because, three Sundays have come together in this week!""Why, of course! said Smitherton after a bit of mock thought. "What fools we two are!""The earth you know, is about 24,000 miles around. And it spins around from west to east in 24 hours. Now if I sail along eastward a thousand miles from this position, I reach London with an hour extra, because I've been traveling right towards the rising sun and meeting it as it rose. In that way, I gain an hour on the clock. I see the sun rise just an hour before you do. And in another thousand miles eastward, I gain another hour in the same way — by meeting the sun before it rises. Thus when I go eastward around the globe, 24,000 miles or so, and reach this spot again, why, I've gone toward the rising sun just 24 hours. That is to say, when I arrive, it is a full day ahead of your time. Understand?""But Dr. Double L. Dee —" my uncle began feebly. Smitherton would not be interrupted."But Captain Pratt, on the contrary, traveled westward. Every thousand miles took him an hour away from the rising sun. Each thousand miles in that direction brought him to a point an hour further from the sun. It takes just an hour for the sun to catch up with him there. So we can say that he has lost an hour. When he has sailed 24,000 miles west, why, he has lost just 24 hours. He has arrived a day after our time." "Now, in that way, yesterday was really Sunday for me, because I gained a day. With you, Mr. Rumgudgeon, who remained here, today is Sunday. Captain Pratt, however, lost a day. Tomorrow will be his Sunday." "And what is even more interesting, Mr. Rumgudgeon, there can be noparticular reason given why the day of any one of us should be more correct than another. We are all perfectly correct in our claims about this Sunday."Uncle Rumgudgeon kept his word, and Robert would have Kate, her inheritance and all.By Edgar Allan Poe (abridged and adapted)TEXT IIThe Bermuda TriangleThere is a section of the Western Atlantic, off the southeast coast of the United States, forming what has been termed a triangle, extending from Bermuda in the north to southern Florida, and then east to a point through the Bahamas past Puerto Rico to about 40°west longitude and then back again to Bermuda. This area occupies a disturbing and almost unbelievable place in the world's catalogue of unexplained mysteries. This is usually referred to as the Bermuda Triangle, where more than a hundred planes and ships have literally vanished into thin air, most of them since 1945, and more than a thousand lives have been lost in the past thirty-three years, without a single body or even a piece of wreckage from the vanishing planes or ships having been found. Disappearance continue to occur with apparently increasing frequency, in spite of the fact that the seaways and airways are today more travelled, searches are more thorough, and records are more carefully kept.Many of the planes concerned have vanished while in normal radio contact with their base or terminal destination until the very moment of their disappearance, while others have radioed the most extraordinary messages, implying that they could not get their instruments to function, that their compasses were spinning, that the sky had turned yellow and hazy (on a clear day), and the ocean (which was calm nearby) "didn't look right" without further clarification of what was wrong.One group of five planes, a flight of Navy TBM Avengers, on a mission from the Fort Lauderdale Naval Air Station, on December 5, 1945, were the object, along with the Martin Mariner sent to rescue them, and which also disappeared, of one of the most intensive groundsea rescue operations ever conducted, although no life rafts, oil slicks, or wreckage was ever located. Other aircraft including passenger planes, have vanished while receiving landing instructions, almost as if, as has been mentioned in Naval Board of Inquiry procedures, they had flown through a hole in the sky. Large and small boats have disappeared without leaving wreckage, as if they and their crews had been snatched into another dimension. Large ships, such as the Marine Sulphur Queen, a 425-foot-long freighter, and the U.S.S. Cyclops, 19,000 tons with 309 people aboard, have simplyvanished while other ships and boats have been found drifting within the Triangle, sometimes with an animal survivor, such as a dog or canary, who could give no indication of what had happened — although in one case a talking parrot vanished along with the crew.Unexplained disappearances in the Bermuda Triangle have continued to the present day and no plane or ship is reported overdue and finally classed as "search discontinued" by the Seventh Coast Guard without the expressed or unexpressed comment or feeling among the public or the searchers that there is some connection with the past and present phenomenon of the Bermuda Triangle. There seems to be growing public awareness that something is very wrong with this area. Recent numerous reports from planes and boats which have had incredible experiences within the Triangle and survived are contributing toward a new folklore of the sea, although the cause of the unexplained menace to planes and ships within this area is as mysterious as ever.From The Bermuda Triangle by Charles Berlitz。

Background knowledge
These migration patterns are influenced by educational systems and in turn influence educational developments in several ways. They are the result of systems that do not meet a country’s labor requirements. The outfl ows further reduce existing standards, because those who leave include the most qualifi ed teachers, especially those with job training and technical skills. Moreover, the attraction of working abroad is so strong that many persons choose schools and subjects in order to enhance their potential for migration, regardless of the domestic demand. Thus, domestic educational systems have become geared (工具,用具) to meet the needs of other societies while failing to meet their own domestic employment needs.

新编英语教程 3 Unit 3  Three  Sundays in a Week

Unit 3 Three Sundays in a WeekTeaching objectives1. to be familiar with narration in chronological order2. to learn more knowledge on Time Zone and International Date LineTeaching procedureText II. Background information1.Time zoneInternational time zones define the time of day in places around the world with respect to the standard time kept in Greenwich, England, a city that lies on the prime meridian. Each time zone spans about 15 degrees of longitude, but actual zone lines vary to account for political boundaries and economic considerations.Until the late 1800s most towns and cities set clocks based upon the rising and setting of the sun. Because of the earth’s rotation, dawn and dusk occur at different times at different places, but time differences between distant locations were barely noticeable because of long travel times and the lack of long-distance communications.Since the earth rotates 15 degrees of longitude per hour, the earth’s 360 degrees were divided into 24 zones, each measuring about 15 degrees in width. The 0° longitude line, or meridian, was defined as a line running through the old Greenwich Observatory in Greenwich, England. Time in each of the 12 zones east of Greenwich increases one hour for each zone. Time in each of the 12 zones to the west of Greenwich decreases by one hour. The International Date Line lies at the 180°meridian on the opposite side of the earth from Greenwich and divides the eastern and western time zones. The time difference between each side of the International Date Line is 24 hours. Thus, a traveler heading west across the date line loses one day while a traveler headed east gains a day.The time in any given time zone or country may shift by one hour for certain periods of the year to gain maximum daylight hours and balance these hours from morning to evening. One such system is Daylight Savings Time in the United States.2.International Date LineInternational Date Line, irregular line drawn on the map of the Pacific Ocean, near, and in many places coincident with, the 180th meridian. It marks the place where navigators change their date by one day on a transpacific voyage. East of the line it is one day earlier than to the west.Any traveler circling the globe in a westward direction lengthens the day by 1 hour for every 15° of longitude traveled because the traveler is following the apparent motion of the sun; by the time he or she has traveled completely around the world, the traveler is one full day ahead of the people who have remained at the starting place of the trip. Similarly, going eastward, a traveler arrives a day behind.Close to the 180th meridian, nearly in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, a place chosen because of the virtual absence of land and of civilization in the region, navigators going westward add a day to their calendars (for example, the day after August 6 would be August 8), and navigators going eastward drop a day from their calendars (for example, the day after August 6 would be August 6) to correct for this gain or loss of time. The date line is curved eastward around Siberia, westward around the Aleutian Islands, and eastward around the Fiji Islands and New Zealand; the line is socurved to avoid crossing land.3.GreenwichGreenwich (England), borough of Greater London, southeastern England, on the southern bank of the Thames River. The borough was formed in 1965 with the merging of the former metropolitan boroughs of Greenwich and Woolwich. Among the landmarks of Greenwich is the Royal Naval College (1873), which occupies a late 17th-century building designed by the architect Sir Christopher Wren. In the Tudor period the building's site was occupied by a royal residence. Also in the borough is the National Maritime Museum. Greenwich is famous as the site of the prime meridian, or 0° longitude, which passes through the old Greenwich Observatory. Also here are the clipper ship Cutty Sark and the Gipsy Moth IV, on which Sir Francis Chichester made a solo circumnavigation of the earth. Population (1991) 211,141.4.Greenwich meridianPrime Meridian, the meridian, or line of longitude, that is designated 0°longitude and from which the longitude of all points on the surface of the earth are measured. The meridian passing through the original site of the Greenwich Observatory in Greenwich, England, has been recognized by international agreement since 1884 as the prime meridian. It is sometimes called the Greenwich meridian. See Latitude and Longitude.5. GMTGMT (Greenwich Mean Time), mean solar time at the meridian from which time in other zones is calculated.6. latitude and longitudeLatitude and Longitude, system of geometrical coordinates used in designating the location of places on the surface of the earth. (For the use of these terms in astronomy, see Coord inate System; Ecliptic.) Latitude, which gives the location of a place north or south of the equator, is expressed by angular measurements ranging from 0° at the equator to 90° at the poles. Longitude, the location of a place east or west of a north-south line called the prime meridian, is measured in angles ranging from 0° at the prime meridian to 180° at the International Date Line.5.Cape HornCape Horn (Spanish Cabo de Hornos), promontory in southern Chile, in the Tierra del Fuego archipelago, on Horn Island. It marks the southernmost point of South America and extends into Drake Passage, the Antarctic strait connecting the South Atlantic and South Pacific oceans. The rocky terrain of the cape rises to a height of 424 m (1,391 ft). Storms, strong currents, and icebergs make passage around the cape extremely hazardous. During the time of sailing ships, hundreds of vessels were wrecked while “rounding the horn.” The Dutch navigator Willem Cornelis Schouten, the first to sail around the cape (1616), named it for his birthplace, Hoorn, the Netherlands.6.The Cape of Good HopeThe Cape of Good Hope is a headland on the southwestern coast of South Africa, near the city of Cape Town.7.True or False statements1)It is quite possible to have three Sundays occurring in one week.2)The earth rotates about its axis continually, and the period of a complete rotation is one day.3)There are 24 time belts on the surface of the earth. When it is noon in Beijing, the times in Sydney, New Y ork and Manchester are all different.4)If you travel west, you lose one hour for approximately every thousand miles you go.5)If you travel east, you gain one hour for approximately every thousand miles you go.6)I you travel around the world once, you either lose or gain 24 hours.II.

Unit 3 Three Sundays in a Week1.Time zone and International Date LineThe International Date Line (IDL) is an imaginary line on the surface of the Earth opposite the Prime Meridian which offsets the date as one travels east or west across it. Roughly along 180° longitude, with diversions to pass around some territories and island groups, it mostly corresponds to the time zone boundary separating +12 and −12 hours GMT (UT1). Crossing the IDL traveling east results in a day or 24 hours being subtracted, and crossing west results in a day being added.However, for two hours every day—Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) 10:00–11:59, there are actually three different days observed at the same time. For example, at UTC time Thursday 10:15, it is Wednesday 23:15 in Samoa, which is eleven hours behind UTC, and it is Friday 00:15 in Kiritimati, which is fourteen hours ahead of UTC. For the first hour (UTC 10:00–10:59), this phenomenon affects inhabited territories whereas during the second hour (UTC 11:00–11:59) it only affects an uninhabited maritime time zone twelve hours behind UTC.The first date-line problem occurred in association with the circumnavigation of the globe by Magellan's expedition (1519–1522). The surviving crew returned to a Spanish stopover sure of the day of the week, as attested by various carefully maintained sailing logs. Nevertheless, those on land insisted the day was different. Although now readily understandable, this phenomenon caused great excitement at the time, to the extent that a special delegation was sent to the Pope to explain this temporal oddity to him.2.GreenwichGreenwich (pronunciation (help·info); IPA: /ˈɡrɛnɪtʃ/ GREN-itch, /ˈɡrɛnɪdʒ/ GREN-idge, or /ˈɡrɪnɪdʒ/ GRIN-idge)[1][2] is a district in south-east London, England, on the south bank of the River Thames in the London Borough of Greenwich. It is best known for its maritime history and as giving its name to the Greenwich Meridian (0° longitude) and Greenwich Mean Time.The town became the site of a Royal palace, the Palace of Placentia from the 15th century, and was the birthplace of many in the House of Tudor, including Henry VIII and Elizabeth I. The palace fell into disrepairduring the English Civil War and was rebuilt as the Royal Naval Hospital for Sailors by Sir Christopher Wren and his assistant Nicholas Hawksmoor. These buildings became the Royal Naval College in 1873, and they remained an establishment for military education until 1998 when they passed into the hands of the Greenwich Foundation. The historic rooms within these buildings remain open to the public, other buildings are used by University of Greenwich and the Trinity College of Music.The town became a popular resort in the 17th century with many grand houses, such as Vanbrugh castle established on Maze Hill, next to the park. From the Georgian period estates of houses were constructed above the town centre. The maritime connections of Greenwich were celebrated in the 20th century, with the siting of the Cutty Sark and Gypsy Moth IV next to the river front, and the National Maritime Museum in the former buildings of the Royal Hospital School in 1934. Greenwich formed part of Kent until 1889 when the County of London was created.3.Cape HornCape Horn island (Dutch: Kaap Hoorn; Spanish: Cabo de Hornos; named after the city of Hoorn in the Netherlands) is the southernmost headland of the Tierra del Fuego archipelago of southern Chile.It is widely considered to be the southern tip of South America. Cape Horn is the most southerly of the great capes, and marks the northern boundary of the Drake Passage; for many years it was a major milestone on the clipper route, by which sailing ships carried trade around the world. However, the waters around the cape are particularly hazardous, owing to strong winds, large waves, strong currents and icebergs; these dangers have made it notorious as a sailors' graveyard.The need for ships to round the horn was greatly reduced by the opening of the Panama Canal in 1914. However, sailing around the Horn is widely regarded as one of the major challenges in yachting, and a few recreational sailors continue to sail this route, sometimes as part of a circumnavigation of the globe, almost all of these choosing routes through the canals to the north of the actual Cape, though many take a detour through the islands and anchor to wait for fair weather to actually visit Horn Island or even sail around it to replicate a rounding of this historic point. Several prominent ocean yacht races, notably the Vendée Globe, sail around the world via the Horn, and speed records for round-the-world sailing follow the same route.4.The Cape of Good HopeThe Cape of Good Hope(Afrikaans: Kaap die Goeie Hoop, Dutch: Kaap de Goede Hoop, Portuguese: Cabo da Boa Esperança) is a rocky headland on the Atlantic coast of South Africa. There is a very common misconception that the Cape of Good Hope is the southern tip of Africa, but in fact the southernmost point is Cape Agulhas, about 150 kilometres (90 mi) to the southeast. However, when following the coastline from the equator, the Cape of Good Hope marks the psychologically important point where one begins to travel more eastward than southward. Thus the rounding of the cape in 1488 was a major milestone in the attempts by the Portuguese to establish direct trade relations with the Far East.As one of the great capes of the South Atlantic Ocean, the Cape of Good Hope has been of special significance to sailors for many years and is widely referred to by them simply as The Cape. [1] It is a major milestone on the clipper route followed by clipper ships to the Far East and Australia, and still followed by several offshore yacht races.The term "Cape of Good Hope"was also used to indicate the early Cape Colony established in 1652, in the vicinity of the Cape Peninsula. Just prior to the formation of the Union of South Africa, the term referred to the entire region that was to become the Cape Province in 1910.。

He cast a look at me with the same surprise and dislike as a colonel would look at a soldierwhen his bootlaces came loose.4. Apparently the headmaster and I had no similar interests.5. The way teaching was organized filled me with terror (or, I was shocked at the teachingarrangements).6. I should have to divide the class into three groups of three different levels and teach themone after another.7. I felt troubled not because I had to walk for a mile along the dusty streets of Croydon,followed by a group of boys, but because at that time most of my friends were having a good time and relaxing.8.

Fast expresses, slow local trains which stop at every station, suburban trains taking businessmen to their offices and home again; I enjoy them all. It must be the element of romance that attracts me. There’s no romance in a car on a motorway, which is a box of metal and rubber on a strip of concrete, or in flying through the air in a pressurized tube from one identical plastic and glass airport to another. But trains are different. On a train, you can walk around, look at the scenery, observe your fellow passengers; whereas in a plane all you can see are the clouds and the back of other people’s heads. And then there are the stations. Some, I am afraid, have become too like airports; others, fortunately, are old and dirty, full ofunexpected details and with their own individual peculiarities. Travelling by train remains an adventure, as you try to interpret the timetable, persuade the booking office clerk to sell you a ticket and understand the incomprehensible messages coming over the loudspeaker systems. Then there’s that delightful uncertainty as you wonder whether you are on the right train, or the right part of the train. There’s nothing like it.Pr is WritingReference version:I applied for my first job before I entered the university because I was short of money. The school where I applied for a job was ten miles away from where I lived and I was not sure if I could get the job. However, after a terrible journey I was so depressed that I no longer felt nervous. The Victorian schoolhouse stood amid fumes and dust by a busy main road. The headmaster was not at all scholarly, neither was the inside of the house academic looking. By and by I discovered that the headmaster and I had very little in common. He wanted me to teach twenty-four boys from seven to thirteen who were to be split up into three levels. I had to teach everything including the subjects I abhorred. Furthermore, I had to work on Saturdays too. The pay, however, was low. To top it all, I had to work under a woman, the headmaster’s wife, who was the real manager of the school.Letter Writing1.Flat 301, 574 Daxing StreetXining, Qinghai 81005615 June, 20 __Dear Prof. Qing,2.Flat 402, 583 Ningpo Road,Wenzhou, Zhejiang 325008December 20, 20 __Dear Uncle Ming,3.609 Grant StreetEnterprise, OR 97828U.S.A.March 2, 20 __Dear Minnie,IV.

CGUIDED WRITINGSentence CombinationReference version:Smallpox, the most devastating and feared pestilence in human history, is making its laststand in two remote areas of Ethiopia, one in the desert and one in the mountains. By the end of August only five villages had experienced cases in the preceding eight weeks. More important, the onset of the last known case was on August 9. Because man is the only known reservoir of the smallpox virus, the disease should be eliminated forever when the last infected person recovers. Right now more than 1,000 Ethiopian health workers, together with 10 epidemiologists of the World Health Organization, are combing the countryside to make sure no more cases exist. For two years after the last case is recorded the search will continue for additional outbreaks. If none is found, and if a WHO international commission can be satisfied that the search has been thorough, smallpox will be declared to have been eradicated from the earth. It will be the first such achievement in medical history. (From a medical report written in 1976)Pr is WritingReference version:Some people go on holiday unwillingly, as in the case of Tom Long. He and his brother Peter were very dear to each other and had planned to spend the summer holidays together enjoyably. Now that Peter was down with the measles, Tom had to go to his Uncle and Aunt’s to be kept away from Peter because of this dreadful disease. On the day of his departure, he looked longingly at the garden and at the would-be treehouse among the apple tree branches, with anger surging up inside. How he’d miss the garden and Peter! Tom’s mother wasn’t any happier in sending him away. Besides, she was worried whether Tom would behave himself at his uncle’s. When Tom got into his Uncle’s car, he sat in hostile silence in spite of his Uncle’s friendliness. He would much rather that his Uncle was cruel to him so that he could have an excuse to run back home. His Aunt was even worse, because she was a child-lover. How could he stand this! He would be cooped up in a small flat with no garden, no playmates. He was cornered.Letter WritingReference version:1.16 August, 20 __Dear Ellen,I’m sorry that I did not write back as soon as I got your letter but I’ve been very busy …2.Shanghai, 16 June, 20 __ Dear Amy,It was a great pleasure to get your long letter telling me about your recent experience …3.Wuhan, 2 July, 20 __ Dear Ben,After such a long wait, at last I got your letter of 26th July …4.25 Dayton Road,Staines, Surrey7 September, 20 __The ManagerABC Book CompanyLondonDear Sir,I was happy to receive your letter of 5 September 20 __ …IV.

I remember when I was four, there was a lot of talking about countryside-going as Father’s holiday was drawing near.I was certain that this time Father would take Qiangqiang along as usual. But one morning while I was in the bedroom playing with my doll, Mother called up, “Pingping, come down.”To my surprise, Mother told me with tears in her eyes that I would be sent to my grandmother’s. I was delighted and looked everywhere for my father and Qiangqiang, but they were nowhere to be seen. When the time came for me to leave, Mother murmured, “Pingping, try to be good.

More than a hundred planes and ships havedisappeared without leaving a trace in this area, most of which got lost since 1945.Furthermore, a thousand lives have been lost in the past thirty-three years, and not a single body or even a piece of wreckage from the vanishing planes or ships has been found.2.Many of the lost planes had had normal contact with their base or terminal destination untilthey suddenly disappeared altogether. And some others had been able to radio the most extraordinary messages, saying that their instruments had stopped functioning, that their compasses were spinning, that the sky had turned yellow and hazy (on a clear day) and that the ocean (which was calm nearby) did not look right, and then, all of a sudden they disappeared without making clear what was really the matter.3.Up to the present day, there has not been any explanation of the disappearance of ships andplanes. And when the Seventh Coast Guard declares that they will discontinue the search fora plane or ship which is overdue, the general public and the searchers cannot help expressingthe feeling or making the comment either directly or indirectly that it is connected with the ongoing phenomenon of the Bermuda Triangle.TEXT IIIComprehension1.Caribbean2.supply ship, was lost in 19183.Anita, Norwegian freighter, was lost in 19734.Rosalie, French sailing vessel, was lost in 18405.U.S. cabin cruiser, 19676.southwest, southGUIDED WRITINGSentence CombinationReference version:Columbus made four voyages to the west between 1492 and 1504 in his vain search for a sea route to Asia. The mystery of why he failed to find it haunted him and filled him with sadness.Wherever he went —to Cuba, Puerto Rico, Jamaica, South America, Panama, down the coast of Central America —it was always the same story. Instead of golden palaces, there were grass huts and palm-leaf tents. Instead of silk-robed merchant princes, he found “Indians” who did not even have shirts on their backs.At times Columbus became reconciled to the truth that this new land was not China, not Japan, not the Spice Islands. He seemed to accept it as a part of the earth that the geographers ofEurope had never heard of before. It was another world —and he called it exactly that —but Columbus also insisted until he died that the land he had reached was an unknown part of Asia.Pr is WritingReference version:It was Sunday and Kate and I convinced my uncle that there could be three Sundays in a week. We invited two sailor friends who had just travelled round the world and had completed the trip that very day. The trip took them exactly one year. One captain insisted that the next day would be Sunday while the other said that the day before ought to have been Sunday. Kate explained that both of them were right, as they travelled in opposite directions. The earth is round, about 24,000 miles around, spinning from west to east. As one of the captains travelled eastward, he gained one hour for every 1,000 miles; but when the other travelled westward, he lost one hour over the same distance. So when they completed the 24,000 miles round the earth, one lost 24 hours while the other gained 24 hours. That was why the one travelling eastward was one day ahead of London time, and the one travelling westward was one day behind London time. Thus there were three Sundays in a week.Letter WritingReference version:Xiaoxiao Toy Factory, NanjingAugust 31, 20 __Dear Emma,Please forgive me for not writing to you for so long but I was away on a business trip.I was in Guangzhou for three weeks.

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.Pr is 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.Letter WritingA. 1. I hope that everything is going smoothly with your work.2.

新编英语教程第三册workbook答案

新编英语教程第三册workbook答案

DictationUnit 1The most important day I remember in all my life is the one on which my teacher, Anne Sullivan, came to me. It was the third of March, 1887, three months before I was seven years old.On the afternoon of that eventful day, I stood on the porch, dumb, expectant, I guessed from my mother’s sign and from the hurrying in the house that something unusual was about to happen, so I went to the door and waited on the steps. Hanging down from the porch was sweet-smelling honeysuckle. My fingers lightly touched the familiar leaves and blossoms which had just come forth to greet the sweet southern spring. I did not know what surprise the future held for me.I felt approaching footsteps. I stretched out my hand as I supposed to my mother. Someone took it, and I was caught up and held close in the arms of her who had come to help me discover all things to me, and, more than anything else, to love me. Translation:1.They al believe that he had a slim chance of success.2.I didn’t know why she has an air of sadness all the time.3.It was after all the students had taken their seats that the president of the students’union proceeded to announce the camping itinerary.4.The stomach is a vital organ of the human body; please take good care of it.5.He considered it ridiculous for the general manager to attach so much importanceto those routine trifles.6.Her study, which ranged over many languages and cultures, was full of challenge.7.As is scheduled, all the members of the stuff take turns to do late duty.8.She was greatly upset at the thought of leaving her parents and living on her ownin a remote area.9.We do not worry so much about her qualifications for the job as about her health.10.He was greatly excited about the prospect of leaving a cruise around the world. Paragraph translationFrom Fred’s point of view, the interview was very smoothly indeed. Five days before, he had applied for a job at a small business company and now he was being interviewed by one of its directors.Fred had been working as a salesman. He wanted to change his job not because he was short of money, but because as a salesman he could hardly enjoy any leisure at all.Fred had been worried that he might lose his head and say something silly, but fortunately he found that he had a lot in common with the director.It was clear that the director was quite satisfied. Fred was thinking that his chances of landing the job were favorable when the director proceeded to ask, “Do you mind working overtime?”Précis writing (Unit 1)I applied for my first job before I entered the university because I was short money. The school where I applied for a job was ten miles away from where I lived and I was not sure if I could get the job. However, after a terrible journey I was so depressed that I no longer felt nervous. The V ictorian schoolhouse stood amid fumes and dust by a busy main road. The headmaster was not at all scholarly, neither was the inside of the academic looking. By and by I discovered that the headmaster and I had very little in common. He wanted me to teach twenty-four boys from seven to thirteen who were to be split up into three levels. I had to teach everything including the subjects I abhorred. Furthermore, I had to work on Saturdays too. The pay, however, was low. To top it all, I had to work under a woman, the headmaster’s wife, who was the real manager of the school.Dictation Unit 2The sun was getting warm as Philip put on his skates and prepared to get on the ice. At the edge of the lake the ice was still quite hard, and he did not seem to realize there was any danger, but nearer the middle of the lake the warm sun had already begun to melt the ice.After making a few practice turns, Philip set out to cross the lake at its widest point. In order to make himself go faster, he tried to race his own shadow as it fell on the ice ahead of him. When he was about half way across, the weak ice suddenly broke beneath his weight at once and he fell through it. For 20 or 30 seconds afterwards he was not even able to scream. Then at least he found his voice, shouted for help, and almost immediately afterwards blacked out.When he opened his eyes again, he was lying in bed in his own home, with his father bending anxiously over him. “Y ou should have known better than to do a silly thing like that!” were the first comfortless words he heard after his narrow escape.Translation:1.This old man lived overseas when he was young and had many unusual experiences.2.She is a well-liked physics teacher with a lot of teaching experience.3.My shoes are brand new; I’d rather stay until it clears up.4.Upon leaving the small house where she lived in her childhood, she looked her good-bye atevery familiar object around.5.He was asked to leave for Xi’an at such short notice that he didn’t even leave time to call hiswife.6.Their reluctance to join us in the speech contest really spoilt our fun.7.Please note that every student should keep classroom discipline, and you are no exception.8.I don’t care so much about working overtime occasionally, but about your calling off myholidays with no notice.9.The speaker cleared his throat to claim the attention of the audience.10.He was tired of hustle and bustle of the urban life and hoped to move to, expecting a changein his current life style.Paragraph translationWhen I was very little, I longed to go to the countryside with my father and brother, but Inever got a chance. Father went once a year during his holiday to the countryside where my grandmother lived. As a rule, he took my brother Qiangqiang with him. I remember when I was four, there was a lot of talking about countryside-going as Father’s holiday was drawing near. I was certain that this time Father would take Qiangqiang along as usual. But one morning while I was in the bedroom playing with my doll, Mother called up, “Pingping, come down.” To my surprise, Mother told me with tears in her eyes that I would be sent to my grandmother’s. I was delighted and looked everywhere for my father and Qiangqiang, but they were nowhere to be seen. When the time came for me to leave, Mother murmured, “ Pingping, try to be good. Mama and Papa are sure to come to see you soon.” It was not till then that I knew I would be going to the countryside alone, all alone. I clung to my mother, weeping tears of sadness.Dictation Unit 3Strange things happen to time when you travel, because the earth is divided into 24 zones, one hour apart for every two zones. Y ou can have days with more or fewer than 24 hours, and weeks with more or fewer than seven days.If you make a five-day trip across the Atlantic Ocean, your ship enters a different time zone every day. As you enter each zone, the time changes one hour. Traveling west, you set your clock back; traveling east, you set forward. Each day of your trip has either 25 or 23 hours.If you travel by ship across the Pacific, you cross International Date Line. BY agreement, this is the point where a new day begins. When you cross the line, you change your calendar one full day, backward or forward. Traveling east, today becomes yesterday; traveling west, it becomes tomorrow.Dictation Unit 4The Global Theater is a playhouse built just outside London in1599. It is the most famous theater in history: on its stage Shakespeare’s greatest plays were first performed. Big enough to hold about 2,500 people, the Globe had three levels of galleries surrounding an unroofed yard. Extending from one side of the yard to the center was an open stage. From the stage floor rose two posts to support an overhanging canopy known as the “heavens”.The Globe was built in London by the Burbage brothers in 1599. At the same time, wishing to bind the Lord Chamberlain’s company closely to the new playhouse, they planned a novel partnership in which the brothers divided ownership of the Globe among themselves and five of the actors in the company, one of whom was Shakespeare.After 1609, when the company opened a second theater, the Globe became less important. ON June 29, 1613, during a performance of Shakespeare’s King Henry the Eighth, fire destroyed the Globe. It was rebuilt within a year but was destroyed forever by the Puritans in 1644.Dictation Unit 5Throughout the long period, the French showed noticeably more enthusiasm for aChannel tunnel than the British. This may seem curious, seeing that France already has many land frontiers, whereas for Britain a tunnel would be its first fixed link with the Continent, and thus more valuable. But the British were held black by their insularity, and especially by fears that an invader might be able to make use of the scheme. Happily, all that is past. Today Britain’s politicians and business circles have shown themselves as eager as the French.Those who take a wider and longer-term view believe that these possible drawbacks for Britain will be far outweighed by the advantages. Pa ssengers by express train will be able to do the journey at least an hour faster than by sir, city center to co city center, and without any tedious waits at airports. Also the fares will be cheaper. So the tunnel will probably stimulate a vast increase in tourism and business travel between London and Paris.Dictation: Unit 6Y ou probably know that there are ghost towns scattered across various parts of the United States. Perhaps you have even had opportunity to read about a ghost town or visit one. These ghost towns, which were so named because nearly all the people moved away, were once as lively as circuses. Of course, that was a long time ago.Back in the late 1800s, lots of men travelled all the way to California in search of gold. They were so hungry for gold that you could easily imagine them starving to death if they didn’t find it. In fact, some men were so greedy that they pushed their luck too far and died. It’s been said that gold fever was so bad that many men left their families and jobs in the East to follow their dream of riches in the West. Sometimes miners would find gold and silver close together. When this happened, people rushed to the area like ants to a picnic site. Houses and stores appeared almost overnight, and towns grew like weeds.Gradually, all the gold was mined and people began to move away.Précis WritingThe Chunnel, as it is known, was to open at last after seven years of construction. An apprehensive atmosphere pervaded the English end of the Chunnel Tunnel. A retired government worker and his wife voiced their strong sentiments against the forthcoming opening of the Chunnel and the French. Meanwhile, on the French side, a farmer showed his contempt for the English. But the Chunnel was to materialize, whether they like it or not.The inauguration ceremony, to be presided by the English Queen and the French President was scheduled on May 6, 1994. The Chunnel would then sever as a shuttle service, bringing great convenience to the people on both sides.On June 28, 1991, dozens of journalists took the construction workers’train to take part in the breakthrough ceremony. Work on the Chunnel was not quite finished; the walls bare, and the air filled with dust. Then, the breakthrough—light, music, applause, champagne corks popping, swarms of French workers clambering to theEnglish side and embracing the English workers. Only at this point did one Englishman feel that this Chunnel was his too. As more and more Frenchmen climbed over, he guessed that there would be a deluge of visitors after the completion of the Tunnel.Dictation: Unit 7Man has a big brain. He can think, learn and speak. Scientists use to think that human were different from animals because they can think and learn. They know now that animals can learn—dogs, rats, birds and even worms can learn. Scientists are now beginning to understand that humans are different from animals because they can speak. Animals cannot speak. They make noises when they are afraid, or angry, or unhappy. Apes are our nearest cousins. They can understand some tings more quickly than human beings, and one or two have learned a few words, but they are still different from us. They cannot join words or make sentences. They cannot think like us because they have no language, as we mean it. They can never think about the past or the future. Language is a wonderful thing. Man has been able to develop civilization largely because he has language. Every child can speak his own language very well when he is four or five—but no animals learn to speak. How do children learn? Scientists do not really know. What happens when we speak? Scientists do not know. They only know that man can speak because he has a big brain.Unit 8Dictation:Many students who call themselves bad readers nevertherless do read some thingd successfully. They may read novels or they may read the sports page every day. But a textbook is a different matter. A textbook gvies a lot of trouble. Why is that? One reason is lack of interest. Another is that they are often unfamiliar with the subject about which they are reading. But a third reason is that they try to read a textbook as if it were a novel or sports story or a problem to be solved by Ann Landers. They respond to the textbook inapropriately.How you read something depends on the author’s purpose in writing. There are basically four purposes for writing. Some authors writes to tell a story; others write to create an image in your mind; some write to inform or teach you; and still others write to convince you of a particular viewpoint. Each of these four purposes requires a defferent response as you read. If you respond differently to different types of writing, you will find that your reading will be much easier.Unit 9Dictation:Tom King could feel Sandel growing stronger against him. He saw youth recuperate. From instant to instant Sandel grew stronger. His punches, weak at first, became strong. Tom King sawthe gloved fist driving at his jaw, and wanted to guard it by raising his arm. But the arm was too heavy. It would not lift itself. Then the gloved fist landed home. Tom felt a sharp snap and blacked out.When he opened his eyes again he was in his corner, and he heard the audience screaming and cheering. His second was blowing cold waters gloves had already been removed, and Sandel,bending over him, was shaking his hand. He bore no ill will toward the man who had put him out, and heUnit 10Zululand is a historical region of northeastern Natal, which is a province in the eastern part of the Republic of South Africa. Under the former South African Government’s policy of racial separation and separate development of the race, black South Africans had been divided into “national”groups. These groups were to develop their own political, social, and cultural life in homelands assigned to them by the government.Zululand historically was the northeastern section of Natal. It was inhabited by the Zulus, a people who became powerful in the early 19th century under their king, Shaka. In the middle of the 19th century, they warred with Boer settlers who went into the area, and later with the British. In 1879, the British invaded Zululand and were defeated by the Zulus. However, the Zulus were later defeated and the British took possession of Zululand in1887. It became part of Natal in 1897.。

2. …to bring the young lambs to the fold. --to persuade the children to become members of the church. In other words, to save their souls and free them from sin.
Salvation religions are typically founded by a prophet or religious leader who creates a basic doctrine which explains to people how salvation might be achieved. The legitimacy and long-term authority of these prophets is often dependent upon possessing a high degree of personal charisma and, sometimes, the ability to work miracles presumably a sign of divine favor and sanction.

Unit 3 Three Sundays in a WeekFurther development1.Understanding of text II, knowing more information on the Bermuda Triangle2.A discussion on the Burmuda Triangle3.Interaction activities: a luckly survivor4.writing:narration in chronological order5.Supplimentary readingThe UFO Phenomenon"UFO Report - a statement by a person or persons judged responsible and psychologically normal by commonly accepted standards, describing a personal visual or instrumentally aided perception of an object or light in the sky or on the ground and / or its assumed physical effects, that does not specify any known physical event, object, or process or any psychological event or process [even after examination by qualified persons]..."Dr. J. Allen Hynek, Northwestern University, founder of the Center forUFO StudiesIf the only strange things seen in the sky were a few oddly moving lights, or some specks glinting in the sun, there would be no UFO problem. But there have been many observations of these objects at close range by groups of credible witnesses. In addition, physical traces of various kinds have been left behind, and witnesses have experienced physical and medical effects, including lasting injury.Of all of initially reported sightings, between 5% and 30% (depending on the sample) remain unidentifiable after expert examination. These are the real UFOs, and they are the subject of this article.If you think that reports of UFOs remain unidentified because there is insufficient information to perform an identification, you will find it hard to explain how the Battelle Institute, under contract to the Air Force, in an analysis of nearly 4,000 reports (Blue Book Special Report 14), found that a "good" (detailed) report was twice as likely as a "poor" (sketchy) report to be classed as unidentified. This was confirmed by a later studyon a completely separate set of cases performed by the French organization GEPAN (Unidentified Aerospace Phenomena Study Group of the French National Center for Space Studies). You will also find it hard to explain why the Battelle study found that the "knowns" share almost nothing in common with the "unknowns".If you think that reports of UFOs remain unidentified because the witnesses are perpetrating hoaxes, you should know that no major study, including the Air Force Project Blue Book and the Condon Committee, has ever found more than a few percent of initial reports to be hoaxes.If you think that only unreliable individuals are reporters of UFOs, then you are unaware of the tens of thousands of reports generated by responsible police officers, pilots, military personnel, and ordinary people who were going about their normal business in their normal environment when they were confronted with something they had never imagined or desired, and which, in a matter of minutes, left them confused, amazed, or terrified.There are many reliable UFO reports.∙For example, at Exeter, NH on September 2-3 1965, two police officers observed a UFO estimated to be 90 feet in diameter at a distance of 300 feet, while the object hovered and moved erratically at an altitude of approximately 100 feet, bathing its surroundings in a lurid red light, before it departed over trees, heading toward the town of Hampton. The object had been previously reported by two independent witnesses, one a woman in a car who had been terrified by the close approach of the object, another a young man who observed the object over the field where it was later sighted by the police officers. The US Air Force was unable to identify the cause of this sighting, which was the subject of a book by Saturday Reviewcolumnist John Fuller.∙In a second example, on December, 12, 1952 UFOs were observed visually and on radar by an Air Force crew - "... cruising at 18,000 feet... radar operator Lt. Coleman... [saw] a fast moving target...on the scope, approaching from ahead... [it] moved 13 nm between sweeps of the radar... [Coleman] computed the speed at 5240 mph...4 other blips came on the screen [from ahead] ... the unknownsappeared not only on Coleman's scope, but also on the captain'sscope and the navigator's scope. As one of the four objects came by, Master Sgt. Bailey... [observed from] the right waist blister...a blue lit object [streaking by] far enough to the side that he couldsee the [angular] motion... "A second group of blips appeared onall three scopes... this group also traveled at about 5000 mph [but their courses missed the bomber by miles... "A third group appeared from ahead... computed speed... over 5000 mph.... the navigator...watched two of the [objects] streak by [from the waist blister]."Capt. Harter... [observed] 40 miles behind, a group of five cut across his path, and turning, headed straight for the bomber. But they slowed and fell in behind, pacing the bomber for about 10 seconds... this group then turned aside and picked up speed again.All watched their scopes while the 5 targets approached a huge [target] that made a half inch spot on the scope... the five smaller blips merge[d] with the large one. The big [target] swiftlyaccelerated... making... over 9,000 mph."∙ A third example of the "UFO pattern" is the Levelland, TX case, in November 1957. This case involved numerous sets of independent witnesses, each of whom contacted the police within the span of a few hours, concerning a multi-hundred foot luminous oval object which landed on the road in close proximity to the front of their vehicle, apparently disabling the operation of the engine and electrical systems of the car before it departed, after which the vehicle could be restarted and ran normally. Police also witnessed this object. Almost all of the observations were at close range, and a sequencing of the observations showed that the departure direction of the object could be correlated with the nextobservation in the sequence.∙The fourth example includes scientifically tested traces which remained after the sighting. On 8th January 1981, at about 5PM, Renato Nicolai, a builder in the town of Trans-en-Provence, France, was attracted by a whistling noise coming from above. As he looked up he noticed a strange object descending onto a nearby piece of land. The object was disc-shaped, small (only 7-8 feet in diameter and 5-6 feet in height), and gray in color. He approached, and when he was only 90 feet from the object, it suddenly started to make again a whistling noise, lifted above the trees, and shot away into the distance. A circular imprint was found at the location. The day after, the French police gathered soil samples, which were sent for examination to several laboratories, coordinated by theUnidentified Aerospace Phenomena Study Group (GEPAN) of the French National Center for Space Studies. Examination of the various samples found that the ground had been crushed from above by a heavy weight, and heated to a temperature of between 300 and 600 degrees Centigrade. Also found were unusual levels of zinc, iron and phosphates. The plants from within the trace that were examined werefound to have 50-70% less chlorophyll and carotenes than thoseoutside it.∙On March 12, 1965 at 1AM, while hunting, ranch owner James Flynn encountered a cone-shaped UFO hovering over some cypress trees. The object descended into the trees after several sweeping motions. He drove closer in his "swamp buggy" and saw that the object was a flattened cone with four tiers of yellow-lit windows, about 25 feet high and 70 feet across (estimated relative to the trees in the background). Flynn approached within a few hundred feet and noticeda humming sound like a large transformer. When within a few yardsof the object, he felt a "wind" coming from underneath the object.He waved, and a white beam of light struck him between the eyes.He lost consciousness, and when he woke was nearly blind.Examination by a physician revealed traumatic hemorrhaging into the anterior chamber of the eye, and neurological abnormalitiesincluding absence of the deep tendon reflexes. A thickened area above his right eye was centered with a depressed spot, and there was a haematoma on the eyelid. The sight from that eye was the most impaired. At the location of the incident, a burned circle 72 feet in diameter was found.∙And lastly, a case which combines many of these features with the appearance of UFO "occupants". In Lakeland, FL, on an early evening in October, 1968, Miss Sharon Burgess and two school students saw while on a nearby hill a mysterious object heading towards theMcMullen home . The disc-shaped UFO, approximately 13 feet indiameter and 8 feet high, hovered 7 feet above a palm tree, 150 feet distant form the house. Two occupants, dressed in tight whiteoutfits with headgear, were seen through its transparent dome.Prior to the incident, and during the twenty minutes the object was present, Mr. & Mrs. McMullen noted audio and visual interference on their TV - they also complained of a smell, like ammonia, which caused a burning sensation in their nose and eye mucous membranes.During the excitement, the McMullen's dog knocked a hole in the screen porch in an effort to get away from the UFO. Lakeland police were called, but the object had left by the time the police cruiser arrived.These reports are simply exemplars, and for each of them, a hundred or a thousand reliable reports could be found - and yet every researcher knows that only about 1 in 10 witnesses ever report their observations.Government documents reveal that the objects have penetrated nuclear weapon storage facilities, have interfered with the operation of nuclearmissile installations, and have prevented interceptor aircraft from carrying out their missions, as revealed in documents obtained using the US Freedom Of Information Act.Clearly, this is serious business, reported by serious individuals from around the world, and from every walk of life, including police, military personnel, reputable (and even famous) scientists, technical personnel, housewives, workers, businesspeople, and ship captains.UFO sightings have happened throughout history, with variations in volume and geography, as "waves" and smaller "flaps". Until the 1950s, such observations were not interpreted in the same way as they are now. In 1897, sightings following the same general pattern as those today were called the work of a secretive inventor. In 1946, the Swedish government assumed the observations were tests of captured German missiles by the Russians. In the immediate post-1947 era, the sightings were considered to be secret US government aircraft. And, as pointed out by Jacques Vallee, the period from 1914 through 1946 was relatively barren of sightings, despite the presence of many social factors which proponents of psychological theories of UFO sightings use when discounting current observations. For example, 1938, the year of the famous Orson Welles War of the Worlds broadcast, and the years prior to and following that broadcast, were not years of noticeable UFO activity.UFOs have largely been investigated by dedicated amateurs, many with scientific or technical training. Reputable investigators work hard to identify a mundane source for a sighting, and they are frequently successful. Journals in the field and books by researchers often discuss the nature of the Identified Flying Object, and clearly separate these from cases where no valid explanation can be found.On the other hand, one must be careful not to distort the facts of the case in an effort to arrive at an explanation. For instance, Dr. Donald Menzel once attempted to explain the famous Papua, New Guinea observations by Rev. Gill as being the result of Gill having astigmatism, mistaking the planet Venus for multiple disk shaped objects, and Gill convincing the other witnesses that something strange was being seen (which he claimed they accepted because they were uneducated natives). Unfortunately for this explanation, Rev. Gill was wearing properly corrected glasses, had separately noted Venus before and during the encounter, the object was seen at times below the clouds and in the rain, and the other witnesses were not uneducated or easily manipulated, but were, in fact, the staff and residents of the mission. Others have tried to explain UFOs as manifestations of poorly understood physical phenomena, such as ball lightning, or well-understood phenomena such as mirages,ignoring most of what was known about such phenomena, most of what was known about UFOs, and most of the evidence in the cases involved in order to force-fit explanations."Finally, in the matter of methodology a philosopher of science would find a serious operational and epistemological flaw: An hypothesis which covers everything covers nothing. Let us state this in the form of a UFO theorem: For any given reported UFO case, if taken by itself and without respect and regard to correlations with other truly puzzling reports in this and other countries, a possible natural, even though far-fetched, explanation can always be adduced. This is so if one operates solely on the hypothesis that all UFO reports, by the very nature of things as we know them, must result from well known and accepted causes. " - Dr. J. Allen Hynek, commenting on the report of the University of Colorado UFO Study, often referred to as "the Condon report".In any event, misperception explanations only go so far. Close observations are unlikely to be explained in this way. In fact, "explainers" are often reduced to calling the witness a liar in order to dispute such cases, but a motivation can seldom be found for a witness of responsibility to risk their reputation with a falsified close encounter UFO report. And in the case of physical and medical effects, the plausibility of misperception, hallucination, and hoax explanations are seriously disputable.What is known strongly indicates that the UFO is a physical object.Measurements and estimates indicate that the landed UFO is an object between 15 and 100 feet in diameter (most commonly under 30 feet) which weighs between 30 and 60 tons; it emits visible light energy when airborne and landed, ranging from a few kW to hundreds of mW. It emits invisible electromagnetic energy at the high frequency end of the spectrum, including UV and soft x-rays - as shown by the many cases of skinburn and eye irritation, some reliable photographs, and a few cases of radiation detection. It occasionally emits harder radiation, which have led to symptoms of radiation sickness in witnesses who have closely approached the objects, and radiation traces at landing sites.In flight, the UFO has no aerodynamic characteristics. It has no wings or visible propulsion systems, and, with few exceptions, makes no more than a soft humming or whining sound. In darkness, it is frequentlyobserved to emit a colored luminosity which is both global and localized. It usually emits that luminosity in a shape which depends on its current maneuver. Though sometimes described as "flames", close observations have shown that this luminosity does not have a high temperature, and it probably represents an ionization of the local atmosphere similar to what occurs in a neon light. It is this lighting which allows estimation of energy output levels for UFOs.Most UFOs are symmetrical objects with spherical, lenticular, elliptical, or cylindrical shapes. Some UFOs have a equatorial ring and are referred to as having a "Saturn" shape. There are also flat bottomed disks and disks with domes. Some UFOs are very small (inches to feet) and some are very large (hundreds of feet). All of these forms have common flight characteristics.UFOs are capable of incredible speeds. Reliable radar observations (in some cases with multiple sets at multiple frequencies) have documented speeds of thousands of miles per hour. High speeds alone do not distinguish the UFO, since such objects as meteors can attain similar speeds. But profiles of speed and altitude, based on radar measurements and backed up by visual observations, indicate that UFOs can and do undergo radical changes in both speed and altitude simultaneously. Other observations indicate a disregard for normal orientations, where the UFO is seen to hover on edge, flip upside down, or spin while hovering. A particularly characteristic maneuver is the "falling leaf", where the object swings like a pendulum from side to side while descending. UFO behavior also indicates curiosity about human vehicles and facilities.UFOs do have solid surfaces, as has been shown by reports where witnesses have struck the objects with hands, rocks, or bullets.UFOs do land, and when they do so, they sometimes simply hover at a very low altitude, producing swirled grass, heat-damaged soil, subsoil burning of plant root systems, and unusual effects on the exposed plants (usually changes in the chlorophyll). In other cases, they extend landing gear of some sort, usually legs with footpads. It is these landing gear which have left marks amenable to pressure analysis, and from which we have been able to estimate the possible weight and density of the UFO. While no material of certifiable extraterrestrial origin has yet been recovered, unusual materials have been obtained from UFO sighting locations, and it should be realized that few resources are available for the analysis of physical traces, due to the unfunded nature of most UFO research.In short, there is significant evidence that UFOs are a phenomenon which should be of interest to science. Once the distraction of minor and lowreliability cases are set aside, there is a large unexplained residue which is not addressed by mundane explanation. Does it represent a manifestation of life from beyond the Earth? At this point, no one knows for sure. But it is worth finding out.。
