In September 2007, at the New York fashion shows, which were displaying their styles for spring 2008, the trend was for much longer dresses and skirts, many to mid-calf or even down to the ankles. Some people felt this showed that the hemline indicator was no longer reliable, and that designers no longer dictated what people would wear. During the London and New York fashion shows in September 2008, hemlines continued to drop. But sure enough, in the fall of 2008, the stock market indexes fell dramatically when the banking crisis hit the US, Europe and then the rest of the world. Hemlines were no longer following the stock market – they were showing the way and indicating future economic trends.有时候，所谓的裙摆指标甚至能事先早早就预告股市的变化。

Unit5答案⼤学英语综合教程4Unit 5 Fame and SuccessI. Listen and Respond1. Focusing on the Main Ideas1) It’s mainly about how to set goals in one’s life.2) This is because they all have clear goals. They know what they want in life and they go after it.3) They are: a) decide what you want; b) make clear your values; c) write them down; and d) take action.4) According to the passage, one should have written goals, careful choices, clear commitments and daily persistence if he or she wants to be successful.2. Zooming In on the Details1) athletes2) inspiring3) accident4) priorities5) independence6) intentions7) specific8) marriage9) extraordinary10) persistent11) sketches12) commitmentsII. Text A---Discovering the Main Ieas1.1) In this essay, the author talks about the issue of fame. The main idea is that most people want fame because fame can bring them celebrity, high regard, admiration, etc. However, the author emphasizes that there are few people who can really capture fame and that fame is usually short-lived. Fame can affect and sometimes even destroy one’s life.2) The author takes an objective attitude towards fame with an emphasis on its negative side. He believes that fame rewards one with money, power and popularity, but it may also enslave him and destroy his life.3) According to the author, to stay famous, an artist has to perform in the style that the public wants and enjoys, no matter how bored he is of performing in the same style year after year. Any attempt to change the style may result in the loss of his popularity among his fans.4) To find excuses for the failures, people tend to claim that they are too sensitive, they are not interested in money, they are not interested in the power that fame brings and they are not interested in the loss of privacey it demands, etc.5) According to the author, people chase fame because they want to demonstrate excellence in some field; to gain the admiration and love of many others; to be the one everyone talks about; to show family and friends that they are more than their family and friends thought they were.6) Probably not. According to the author, fame takes “the you out of you”, which means that oncea person becomes famous, he must be what the public thinks he is, not what he really is or couldbe. Fame enslaves him with what the public wants, instead of helping him maintain and develop his own identity or his true self.2.Part Paragraph(s) Main IdeaOne 1-2 Fame enslaves the person who pursues it because once he becomes fam ous, he will not only attract the public’s attention, but also has to workand live in line with the public’s expectations. He then becomes the slaveof his own success.Two 3-4 For those who look for fame, failure is not necessarily a bad thing, especially for those who fail to perform well enough, because people tendto be more tolerant towards and sympathetic with them.Three 5 Though fame brings disadvantages to those who achieve it, people still seek fame for various reasons.Four 6 It is better to take a critical attitude towards fame.III. Text A---Reading Between the Lines1.According to the author, fame and the public attention that comes with it can destroy one’stalent. Once you become famous, it is not you but the public that controls your fate. You have to work and live in line with the public expectations.2.Artists are no longer the master of themselves. In order to meet the public demands, they haveto perform in the same style year after year, no matter how bored they become.3.Fame often affects how performers see their own talent and skills. It is easy for them tobelieve that they are as perfect as what the media describe. They may indulge themselves in that illusion and lose their own judgment about themselves.4.Once you become famous, your opponents will pay more attention to you and they will seekevery opportunity to challenge or even attack you. You will also be exposed to the limelight and the media may keep an eye on whatever you are doing.IV. Text B---Checking Your V ocabulary1.2) d 3) g 4) a 5) c 6) h 7) b 8) f2.1) (n.) a first university degree in any of several subjects(n.) an unmarried man2) (n.) the state of being free within society from oppressive restrictions imposed by authority onone’s way of life or behaviour(n.) too much freedom in behaviour, taken without permission and sometimes regarded as rude 3) (n.) the point of highest activity, quality or achievement(vi.) reach a highest point4) (n.) a very strong feeling of excitement or joy(vt.) cause to fell a sudden strong feeling of excitement or joy5) (n.) the amount of money that is available to a family to spend(vt.) bring (the lips) together in little folds6) (ad.) in the way that is typical of power that is uncontrolled and used without considering thewishes of others(ad.) in the way that is decided by or based on chance or personal opinion rather than facts or reason; randomly7) (vt.) make (sth.) certain to happen or be gained; ensure(vt.) tell firmly and with confidence, esp. with the aim of removing doubt; promise8) (n.) the management of money, esp. of large amounts of money by governments, companies, orlarge organizations(vt.) provide an esp. large amount of money for (a public activity or organization, business, etc.)V. Text B---Checking Your Comprehension1. NFinancial wealth, in fact, is a shallow measure of success. If we accept dollars as our standard, then “money is the measure of the man,” and what could be more foolish than that? (Para. 4) Such success cannot be measured in monetary terms. (Para.10)2. Y…wealth is ill-measured by using mere dollars: … (Para. 3)What about a life well-lived? What about a family closely bound by love? Who could be wealthier than a man or woman whose calling provides benefits to mankind, or to fellow citizens, or even toa community or neighborhood? (Para. 4)3. Y… that fame is ill-measured by public notoriety; … (Para. 3)4. N… and that power is ill-measured solely by control over others. (Para. 3)5. NPerhaps the famed economist Joseph Schumpeter can help. Ambitious people are driven, he suggested, by “the joy of creating, of getting things done, of simply exercising one’s energy and ingenuity; and by the will to conquer, the impulse to fight, to succeed for the sake, not of the fruits of success”--- i.e. wealth, fame, and power--- “but of success itself.” (Para. 9)6. YSource sentences: Such success cannot be measured in monetary terms, nor in terms of the amount of power one may exercise over others, nor in the illusory fame of inevitably short-lived public notice. But it can be measured in our contributions to building a better world, in helping our fellow man, in bringing up children who themselves become loving human beings and good citizens. (Para. 10)VI. Text B---Optional Classroom Activities(The following explanations are provided only for references)1)As long as you have confidence in yourself, and hold the belief that anything is possible, youare already on your way to success.2)If you always close your eyes to possibilities, you will attempt nothing and accomplishnothing. Such a pessimistic attitude can never make a successful person.3)Successful people know their goals and would waste no time in pursuing them. If you believewhat you are doing now would lead you to success, the 10 million dollars might speed you up on your way to success but would not change what you are doing now.4)Education and talent are important factors in achieving success, but they can never take theplace of perseverance. On your way to success, the biggest obstacle is not the lack of education or talent, but the lack of persistence and determination in what you are doing.Education and talent may help you to achieve success, yet only persistence and determination can give you the will power to stick to your goal and to overcome difficulties.5)The only answer is as much as it takes.VII.

We will reach the peak in half an hour.2.Many people want to be famous because fame can bring them both honor and respect from the public. In most cases, fame can also help them gain wealth. But, after all, very few people can really become famous while most people, including most artists, are unlikely to become famous.It is true that some failure for some people at certain times in their lives does motivate them to strive even harder so as to achieve final success. For example, Thomas Edison, the famous American inventor, had tried hundreds of materials before he finally found the suitable fuse for the electric bulb. However, unfortunately, for most people failure is the end of their struggle.Therefore, in my opinion, success is one thing and fame is another. As long as you have tried your best, you’re already successful whether y ou are famous or not.XII. Theme-Related WritingA Sample Essay:Fame--- Good or EvilFame has always been pursued by many people for the advantages it brings about. Fame can assure one of a high social status, high regard, great admiration, etc. Fame can also bring one wealth as a celebrity has more chances to earn big money. Besides, the applauses and flowers from the fans may boost one’s self-confidence and increase one’s sense of fulfillment.However, fame can ruin one’s life, too. It deprives one of his privacy. As a public figure, he is often chased by fans and journalists, and his private life never escapes the media’s attention or public curiosity. Fame also places one under great pressure. He has to work in line with public expectations and thus becomes the slave of his own success.So fame is a double-edged sword. I don’t seek fame and I don’t envy those who are famous. I highly appreciate what the American poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow says about fame: “The talent of success is nothing more than doing well whatever you do without a thought of fame.”。

Why do you think this is so? There are a(n)(32)myriadof explanations, but many of them can be traced back to the basic(33)masculinestereotypes: strength, power, and dominance. Throughout history andaround the world, men have overpowered women due to their physical qualities.Yet how can we explain the handful of cultures that are actually (34)matriarchal, orbased on the superiority of the mother or wife? No one can (35)presumeto know theprecise reason for why they developed differently, but it is interesting to theorize. One particularly(36)revealingfact is that most of these cultures have a strong agricultural tradition and,hence, a strong female role in society.One of the major tenets of the (37)feminismmovement is that modern womenshould not be restricted by traditional roles and their subservient status in society. Women should notbelieve that their gender automatically (38)disqualifiesthem for the same rights andprivileges that men enjoy."Women have been taught that, for us, the earth is flat, and that if we venture out, we will fall offthe edge." This anonymous (39)quoteperfectly captures the essence of the modernfeminist movement. Elevating the female gender to be completely equal with men should be the(40)singularcause of everyone everywhere.Your answer Correct answer(31) patriarchal patriarchal(32) myriad myriad(33) masculine masculine(34) matriarchal matriarchal(35) presume presume(36) revealing revealing(37) feminism feminism(38) disqualifies disqualifies(39) quote quote(40) singular singularPart III: Reading ComprehensionQuestions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage.Language not only allows us to communicate our thoughts and ideas to others but also helps us understand the world and how others think. Words and ideas convey much more than the basic information we use them for. Our choice of words, examples, context, and grammatical structure all contribute to forming a picture of ourselves and our world view. However, language is not a neutral vehicle in the representation of reality, and the mere existence of non-sexist and feminist terms does not guarantee their usage.Many of the words and ideas we use in everyday speech are overtly coded with sexist or gendered understandings which distract from their true intent. The only way to truly create a neutral language is to eliminate all of the sexist, feminist, gender-encoded terms and replace them with new ones. However, even this is not a guarantee that the words will be used in the intended manner or even that the cultural understandings which are attached to the non-neutral terms will be changed. Sexist use of language can not, very feasibly, be changed simply through the replacement of certain words or terms. With the samecultural understanding in place, the new terms will only be appropriated to mean or signify the same thingas the old ones. There is inherent sexism in language.Language and cultural understanding are connected and have a reciprocating relationship. Anotherimplied sexist use of language is the tendency to refer to inanimate objects in English (with no grammatical gender) as gendered. This is seen in references to boats, planes, or cars as feminine. Perhaps the mostwidely-used example of this is the idea of Mother Nature. Historically, men have treated nature as they treat women—as something to be subdued, exploited, and admired. Our concepts of gender and the relation ofthose concepts to reality are reflected in our choice of words and referents.Language and our use of it are almost entirely entrenched in our understanding of the world.Therefore, commonly held beliefs about gender and the differences between men and women are reflectedin language use. When gender neutral or feminine terms are introduced into a society still dominated bymen, their intended neutrality is thwarted in actual usage. Indeed, if man equals human (linguistically and culturally), then man will always be the standard against which woman is measured.41. Which of the following would make the best title for this passage?A. The Neutrality of Language: Why Uninteresting Language is Sometimes BetterB. Language as a Mirror: How Our Words Reflect What We ThinkC. Gendered Language: How English Sets a Perfect ExampleD. The Culture of Language: Why We Think the Way We Do42. After reading this passage, what can you infer about the nature of language?A. The interpretation of language is largely a matter of semantics.B. There is tenuous connection between language and culture.C. Very few words have cultural and sexual connotations.D. Language is the primary vehicle people use to express cultural understanding.43. "Historically, men have treated nature as they treat women—as something to be subdued,exploited, and admired." This statement establishes a _____ to use language in a particular way.A. motiveB. stigmaC. myriadD. standard44. Which paragraph introduces a discussion of the sexist use of language?A. Paragraph 1.B. Paragraph 2.C. Paragraph 3.D. Paragraph 4.45. What is the main idea of this passage?A. Much of the language we use is sexist.B. Language allows us to communicate our thoughts.C. Language and culture are directly related.D. Many inanimate objects are given genders in speech.历史老照片不能说的秘密慈禧军阀明末清初文革晚清on on28.My ankle is still sore, so I'm afraid I'm going to have to sit out this game.Your answer Correct answeroutout29.The spare bedroom doubles asmy home office.Your answer Correct answerasas30.The presidents talked about, amongother things, the peace treaty between theircountries.Your answer Correct answeramongamongPart II: Banked ClozeQuestions 31 to 40 are based on the following passage.It is truly (31)shabbythat people nowadays don't know nearly enough aboutancient civilizations. In the Western world, the cultures of ancient Greece and Rome gave rise to the popular idea of (32)democracythat is central to many modern governments. Democraticgovernments sometimes are derided as a(n) (33)fallacyin today's world—manypeople don't feel as if they truly have a meaningful voice. However, there were cities (particularly in Greece) where the democratic ideal was born and every citizen truly had a powerful voice.Remarkably, we know this is the case because many documents have survived.

Anc ient Greece and Rome constructed and valued "museums," though they were largely centers of philosophical thought, rather than repositories of valuable objects. Neverth eless, the ancient world still had public collections of objects which resembled the mo dern concept of a museum. Greek temples and Roman forums often displayed gold a nd silver offerings, sculptures, and paintings.During the 15th century, the modern concept of museums came into fashion in Euro pe. During the following few centuries, museums such as the Ashmolean Museum, th e Vatican museums, the British Museum, and the Louvre were founded and opened. The first modern museums began as private collections of wealthy individuals who a massed extensive collections and then exhibited them for public viewing. The moder n museum has been described as "a product of Renaissance humanism, eighteenth-century enlightenment, and nineteenth-century democracy." These first museums were, however, rarely accessible to the pu blic beyond the upper classes.Until the 18th century, museums were chiefly concerned with collecting the beautiful and the curious, and this was often done for personal interests. During the 19th and 20th centuries, however, museums and cultural institutions proliferated throughout E urope and the United States. It was during this intense period of proliferation that th e concept of the museum as something more than just a storehouse for invaluable tr easures was developed. Museums began to dedicate themselves to collection, conser vation, preservation, and research. Natural history, science, and art museums becam e scholarly centers of academic research and thought. Once museums and other cult ural institutions became public, exhibition became a much more predominant concer n. Preexisting museum goals ., collection, conservation, and preservation) suddenly b ecame the means to procure interesting and desirable exhibitions.Museums in the United States developed slowly. Charles Wilson Peale founded his na tural history museum in the late 18th century in Philadelphia, and he is considered th e first great American museum director. In 1846, James Smithson made a bequest to the United States "for the increase and diffusion of knowledge" which led to the dev elopment of the Smithsonian Institution. The United States finally made itsmark on the development of the modern museum in 1870 with the founding of the A merican Museum of Natural History and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston. Throughout the 20th century, museums and other cultural institutions began to focus on education. American museums, especial ly, are devoted to public education in their specific areas of expertise. Many such organizations have also transformed themselves into cultural centers with performing art s, music, and film presentations.41. Which of the following museums was the first to open?A. Metropolitan Museum of Art.B. Smithsonian Institution.C. British Museum.D. Peale's Natural History Museum.42. With which of the following statements would the author of this passage NOT ag ree?A.

Electronic Teaching PortfolioBook FourUnit Five: LifestylesPart I Get StartedSection A Discussion▇Work in pairs or groups and discuss the following questions.1.What kind of lifestyle do you live now?2.Do you believe in the saying “a penny saved is a penny earned”?3.What are some of the things that come to your mind when we talk about healthy lifestyles?Make a list of healthy lifestyles and share your answers with your group members.▇Answers for reference:1. A sample answer:2.As a university student, I live a simple and plain life. I get up early in the morning and thenattend classes. In the late afternoon I play basketball or football. If I do not have classes during the day, I usually go to the library to do some reading or go to the computer center to search for some information related to my studies. In the evening I review or preview my lessons either in the classroom or in the dormitory. During weekends I sometimes go shopping or go to a movie with my classmates.3. A possible answer:4.Yes. This saying tells us that saving money is as good as earning it. Saving is not only a goodhabit but also an important step on the way to financial well-being, both in the short term and in the long run. In the short term, it gives us an emergency cushion in the event that an unforeseen, large and urgent expense arises. In the long term, a consistent pattern of saving can enable us to accomplish our financial goals, such as financing a college education, a home purchase, or a retirement. So we should be thrifty and don’t spend money on things we don’t really need.5. A sample answer:Section B Quotes▇Study the following quotes about lifestyles and discuss in pairs what you can learn from them.Jack Kerouac⊙Great things are not accomplished by those who yield to trends and fads and popular opinion.— Jack KerouacInterpretation:Trends and fads come and go quickly, and popular opinions of the day may not represent ever-lasting truth. Those who wish to accomplish something extraordinary must not be slavish to trends and fads or popular beliefs. Instead, they should break away from the “following the herd”mentality and be extraordinarily innovative.About Jack Kerouac (1922-1969): a US writer who was a leading figure of the1950s Beat Generation. His most famous novel is On the Road (《在路上》), which describes the adventures of two friends as they travel across the United States.Margaret Mead⊙We are living beyond our means. As a people we have developed a lifestyle that is draining the earth of its priceless and irreplaceable resources without regard for the future of our children and people all around the world.— Margaret MeadInterpretation:In this quote, Margaret Mead rightly points out that the American way of life has given rise to a wasteful society and that it is doing a lot of harm to the earth and hence to mankind as a whole. If we do not make changes in our lifestyles today, our children are doomed to suffer from lack of irreplaceable resources in the future.About Margaret Mead (1901-1978): a US anthropologist, who studied the ways in which parentson the islands of Samoa, Bali, and New Guineas taught their children. She also tried to discover whether males and females are born with the differences in behaviour that they show, or whether they lean to behave differently as they grow up in a particular society.Charlie Chaplin⊙The saddest thing I can imagine is to get used to luxury.— Charlie ChaplinInterpretation:In this quote, Chaplin points out the danger of seeking luxuries. Luxuries are not necessities. Many people work hard to seek luxuries in life — they purchase luxury goods and services and always long for possessions that they do not necessarily need. In doing so, they have gradually become slaves to those luxuries. They may feel “abundance” for a while but they can never enjoy ever-lasting happiness, and their souls can never be uplifted. Moreover, those who are used to luxuries may live beyond their means and get into debt, and debt robs a man of his self-respect. Indeed, it is sad to see a person indulge in luxuries and possessions.About Charlie Chaplin (1889-1977): a British actor and director who worked mainly in the US in humorous silent films during the 1920s. He usually appeared as a humorous character who had a small moustache, a bowler hat, and a walking stick, and who walked in a funny way with the backs of his feet together and his toes pointing out to the sides.Samuel Johnson⊙Without frugality none can be rich, and with it very few would be poor.— Samuel JohnsonInterpretation:Here Samuel Johnson advises us to be thrifty or economical with the use of our resources. Frugality is a virtue while extravagance is a sin. One can never become rich if one lives a spendthrift lifestyle, but anyone can feel that he is rich enough if he or she carefully manages his or her money and other resources.About Samuel Johnson (1709-1784): a British critic and dictionary writer. He is famous for his Dictionary of the English Language(1755), the first comprehensive dictionary of the Englishlanguage ever published. He was considered an excellent conversationalist (善于辞令的人). His intelligent, amusing, and interesting words are still widely quoted today.Section C Watching and DiscussionConfessions of a Shopaholic is a 2009 American romantic comedy film based on the Shopaholic series of novels by Sophie Kinsella.Watch the following video clip “Confessions of a Shopaholic” and do the tasks that follow:插入视频片段：“Confessions of a Shopaholic.wmv”1.What makes shopping a beautiful experience, according to Rebecca?the sheen of silk draped across a mannequin;.the smell of new Italian leather shoes;t he rush you feel when you swipe your card.

A frugal lifestyle simply means that you have the intelligence to live a happy and fulfilling life without possessing a lot. Much of the transition from being extravagant to being frugal is within the mind. For example, before you leave your room, remember to turn off the light; keep all windows and outside doors closed when the air conditioning is on; turn off the tap water immediately after use; when you go shopping, use your brain to save money on certain things for something else you need or want.

It iseasier to be frugal than to free oneself from financial stress. So, let us be frugal and live within our means. It is a great way of life.Script:Living a Frugal LifePeople who live a frugal lifestyle often live with less stress. This is because they know how to take control of their money and, therefore, they have more control over their lives in general. And if you have more control of your life, you are likely to have more peace of mind. With that peace of mind comes what may be called “frugal freedom”, namely, freedom from debt, freedom from envy, freedom from shame, fr eedom from worry, and freedom from loss of one’s identity.Living a frugal life does not mean having nothing or living poor and cheap.

It is easier to be frugal than to free oneself from financial stress. So, let us be frugal and live within our means. It is a great way of life.Part III Read and ExploreText ASection A Discovering the Main IdeasExercise 1: Answer the following questions with the information contained in Text A.1) Why did Sara and Michael decide to “strip down to bare happiness”?2) How did the couple “strip down” their lives?3) How did the couple feel about their new lifestyle?4) What is the “yearning feeling” that Sara mentions in Para. 10?5) How was the author affected by her interview with the couple?▇Answers for reference:1)I think there are two reasons why Sara and Michael decided to “strip down” their lives tobare essentials. On the one hand, they wanted to build up a world of their own where they could enjoy family life, social life and balance work and play all at the same time consistently.On the other hand, they were fed up with the old consumption habits and came to realize that they could still live a happy and self-fulfilling life on less money.2)The couple “stripped down” their lives in many ways. The major sacrifices they made were:They traded two-full time careers for two part-time freelance jobs.They moved to a small but comfortable energy-efficient house they designed themselves.They spent money only on bare necessities and things that did not make wasteful use of the earth’s resources.They constantly gave away what they did not really need and economized on what they had.They cut down their expenses of work in a commuter age. They did not own an extra car, and they gave up business suits, business luncheons and dinners; and they took care of the baby themselves and could save considerably from home cooking, thrift shops and do-it-yourself projects.3) They did not feel deprived at all. As Sara said, it was not deprivation but simplification. Theyfelt happy and satisfied with their frugal and simple lifestyle. They had a strong sense of self-fulfillment.4) I think the “yearning feeling” Sara talks about refers to the strong desire for possessing moreand more material things. Consumerism — the idea or belief that buying as many goods as possible is desirable for a person or society — is an important part of the American culture and it gives rise to this “yearning feeling”, which has led to the emergence of such socially sanctioned problems as impulse buying, brandname loyalty, irrational consumption of the earth’s resources and the mentality of following trends and fads.5) The author was deeply affected by the interview. On the one hand, she seemed to admireSara and Michael for their courage to turn their lifestyle around and she expressed her opinions approvingly. On the other hand, she felt it was difficult to resist the temptation of purchasing things on impulse as we can see from her shopping experience with her daughter that night. She came to the conclusion that most Americans could not find the resolve and courage to lead a simple lifestyle owing to the strong and deeply-rooted influence of consumerism.Exercise 2: Text A can be divided into three parts with the paragraph number(s) of each part provided as follows. Write down the main idea of each part.Part Para(s)。

Answer the questions, using information from the video.1. Emma2. Natalie3. Jessica4. Natalie5. Emma6. ChrisVideo ScriptInterviewer: Do you live right in the city or are you in a suburb?Jessica: I used to live in the suburbs with my parents until I was seventeen years old. And then, as I thought I have to grow up, I moved into the city, and I lived in the center.Interviewer: So which do you prefer?Jessica: That is difficult because both sites have their, like, advantages. In the city you are around your friends, and it is much easier to, yeah, to go out and to meet people, and you are at home in ten minutes because you can walk. And if you live in the suburbs, it is more quiet and yeah, you are more in the countryside, and more in the nature with the, yeah with your family, so it is like …I wouldn’t say one is better than the other one. It has … both sites is very good, so I like both. Chris: I think most people in the city are there because of work, a lot of the times, so a lot of people are rushing, and they have got deadlines and appointments to meet. So they can come across as a bit more rude than perhaps people in the suburbs who have less pressures on them, it seems to me. But I think once you get talking to people in the city, when they have got time, they are just as nice as anyone else.Interviewer: Tell me where you live.Emma: I live in the city. Where I live is kind of quiet, but it depends on the time of the day, and sometimes there is like a little restaurant in the area, and people tend to go there. So sometimes you hear when people are coming out when it is really late, but it is not noisy all the time. It is OK; It is a medium kind of sound there. There is lots of children there ---families, a lot of families.Different cultures, hard-working people. It is a very nice community. It is very clean, which is kind of different from the city because the city is kind of messy, but they maintain it, and they keep it very nice. So lots of stores, shopping, a little family theater area where kids can go watch shows with their family. So it is a very nice area … I enjoy living in the city because I get, it is quick access to, like, food or, you know, you don’t have to travel in a car or go down an hour or two to the mall. I mean, you can just walk up to any store and get an outfit and you are gone. Like, it doesn’t take a lot of work to go somewhere.Natalie: I live in the city, and I really enjoy living in the city because it is very busy, and there is always something to do. It gets a bit too busy sometimes, and so you …it is nice to take vacations. But I like living in the city because there is always bars to go to, there is restaurants, there is plenty to do. The commute to work is very short --- it only takes me about twenty minutes to get to work by public transportation.

Listening ComprehensionRead the questions and listen to part 1 of the story about Nicholas Green and his family. T ake notes on your notepad. Then summarize the first part of the story with your partner.Where were the Greens from? They were from California in the United States.What were they doing in Italy? They were on vacation.What happened to Nicholas? He was shot and died.What decision did his parents make? They decided to donate his organs to people who were sick.How did the Italian people react? They were very moved.ScriptM: Reg and Maggie Green were on vacation with their children on the island of Sicily in southern Italy. It was a long way from their home in California in the United States. They had just spent the day sightseeing and were driving on a highway back to their hotel. It was evening, and theirseven-year-old son, Nicholas, and four-year-old daughter, Eleanor, were fast sleep in the back seat.Suddenly, another car with two men pulled up beside them. The man on the passenger side had a gun, and he was screaming at them through the window. As Reg Green stepped on the accelerator and drove away quickly, he could hear gunshots. He drove as fast as he could to the nearest town. Maggie was relieved to see that the children were still sleeping. But when they stopped, they both realized that Nicholas had been shot, and they rushed him to a hospital. Sadly, after two days in the hospital, Nicholas died.One can only imagine the grief and sadness Reg and Maggie Green must have felt at that moment. But they made a decision that touched the lives of many people and the hearts of millions around the world. They decided to donate Nicholas’s organs to Italians who were very sick and needed them. By giving them Nicholas’s organs, Reg and Maggie felt that they could help others. Nicholas’s future had been taken away, so the Greens wanted to give a future to someone else.Their gift turned a senseless tragedy into a lesson in giving. Italians were very moved. They could not believe that visitors from another country --- who had suffered such a terrible loss --- could be so giving at such a terrible moment.少T eaching SuggestionsD. Read the questions and listen to Part 2; discuss your answers with a partner.1. People started to think differently about organ donation.The number of people who were willing to become organ donors increased by three to four hundred percent.2. Seven. One woman was able to see and the rest had their lives saved.3. They work to support organ donation.Script:M: Within days the Green family’s personal experience erupted into a worldwide story. In Italy, strangers walked up to them on the street, with tears in their eyes, to say thank you. People started naming streets, schools, and hospitals for Nicholas Green.When the Greens returned home, they received letters from thousands of people around the world. The letters told how the Green’s decision changed their attitudes about donating organs. In Italy, the number of people who were willing to become organ donors increased by three to four hundred percent --- they called it “The Nicholas Effect”.The Green family returned to Italy more than a dozen times after Nicholas’s death. And they met all of the people who received Nicholas’s organs --- seven people in all.A fifteen-year-old boy got Nicholas’s heart. During his illness, he had weighed only 27 kilograms and had spent half his life in hospitals. After the surgery, he was healthy and full of energy.One girl was two days from death --- the doctors have given up on her. But with one of Nicholas’s organs, she got better. She later got married, and she gave birth to two babies --- one a boy, whom he named Nicholas.A woman who had never seen her own child’s face now can see --- thanks to the corneas from Nicholas’s eyes.An eight-year-old boy was arriving at the hospital for his surgery to get one of Nicholas’s organs. He was asked to think about something nice. He said, “I’m thinking of Nicholas.”The Greens say that the love of life these people have shown --- and the looks on their families’faces --- is a wonderful reward. They often talk about how comforting it has been to know that people who would have died by now are leading normal lives, and that another who would have been blind can now see.Maggie and Reg Green have become very busy doing work to support organ donation. While it does not take away the pain of Nicholas’s senseless death, it helps the Greens to believe that something good has come out of the tragedy.少T eaching suggestionsSpeakingPolitely Ask Someone Not to Do SomethingA. CONVERSATION SNAPSHOTT eaching SuggestionsStep 1After students read and listen, check comprehension by asking What does the man ask for permission to do? (smoke) Does the woman give or refuse permission?(refuse) Why?(because smoke bothers her)Step 2Point out that both the person who asks permission and the person who refuses it are polite to each other. Ask students to identify and underline polite language in the conversation. (Do you mind my smoking here?; I hope that is not a problem; Not at all; That is very considerate of you; Thanks for asking.)Step 3Have students read and listen to the ways to soften an objection. Point out that when you refuse permission, it is polite to soften the refusal with a sentence from the box or to offer a reason for refusing.Language note: Use the question Do you mind…?When you think what you are asking permission to do might make the other person uncomfortable. Use That is very considerate of you to thank a person for being careful not to upset you. To inconvenience someone is to cause problems or difficulty for them.Option: Y ou may want to brainstorm ways of replying to the question Do you mind…? with the class on the board. (possible response: ways to say “Y es”/ refuse permission: Y es, actually, I do mind; Actually, smoking kind of bothers me; Ways to say “no”/give permission: No, I don’t; I don’t mind; Not at all; Go right ahead.)

Other nations thought that Britain was completely conquered.5.…we have only to persevere to conquer.…we will win as long as we hold on to the end.Unit 21.The phrase “personal space” has a quaint, seventies ring to it.The phrase “personal space” has an odd touch that was characteristic of the 1970s.2.T-shirt weather can make proximity more alluring (or much, or less).In hot summer days, people can be drawn to each other, especially to the opposite sex (or feel disgusted with the closeness of others.)3.The logistics of it vary according to geography.People in different regions are given different sizes of personal space. 4.…individuals routinely commandeer booths and sets of facing seats meant for foursomes.…it is quite common that one person occupies a booth and a set of facing seats designed for four people.5.Even the focus of science these days is micro, not macro.Even science focuses on the intra-personal, inner world rather than the interpersonal, outer society these days.6.In the same way that the breeze from a butterfly’s wings in Japan may eventually produce a tidal in California, I have decided to expand the contracting boundaries of personal space.Because the initial invasion of personal space can cause a chain of reactions, which may bring about a catastrophic consequence, as the breeze from a butterfly’s wings in Japan, if it initiates a chain of waves, may eventua lly produce a tidal wave in California, I have decided to enlarge the shrinking personal space.Unit 31.Given the relatively few restrictions governing access and usage, it is the communications modal equivalent of international waters.As there are relatively few restrictions for reaching and using the Internet, communications via the Internet are comparable to traveling through the international waterways.2.But much less widely reported has been the notion that the Internet may be responsible for furthering the fragmentation of society by alienating its individual users.A lot of people talk about the “new information age”, but not so many people are acquainted with the idea that the Internet separates people from each other and fragments society further as a result.3.It seems to me that we are a society that values immediate gratification above all else, and what better place to achieve it than in cyberspace, where the cyber-world is your cyber-oyster.I think that in our society the top priority is given to the satisfaction of one’s immediate needs. The Internet is the best tool for this purpose, for on the Internet one can do whatever he likes to.Unit 41.It was therefore left to Yamahata to record, methodically – and, as it happens, with a great and simple artistry – the effects ...The responsibility was therefore placed on Yamahata’s shoulders to record the effects systematically and incidentally with a great and simple artistry.2.That absence, even more than wreckage, contains the heart of the matter. That vanished city rather than its remains represents the true measure of the event.3.In the photographs, Nagasaki comes into its own.In the photographs, Nagasaki regains its own status.4.… the human imagination had stumbled to exhaustion in the wreckage ofthe first ruined city without reaching even the outskirts of the second.… the human imagination had been exhausted and stopped at the wreckage of the first ruined city and failed to reach even the outskirts of Nagasaki. 5.… we seem to need, in addition, some other picture to counterpoise against ruined Nagasaki ...… apart from the pictures of Nagasaki we seen to need some other picture to inspire in us a hope of life to counterbalance the sense of doom suggested by the ruined Nagasaki…Unit 51.Slowly, it planned across the tapestry of friendship…Slowly, the movie gave a panoramic picture of friendship…2.This wasn’t just another binge of trendiness, but a kind of cinema verite. This was not simply a shift from one fashion to another, but a truthful description of friendship.3.Well, that duality must have been mortally wounded in some shoot- out at the Y ou’re OK, I’m OK Corral.The two sides must have been mortally wounded in the OK Corral gunfight.4.Buddies hang tough together; friends hang onto each other.Buddies hold on together in face of adversity; friends cling tightly to each other for emotional support.Unit 61.July 4 is one of the times when the American in me feels a twinge ofunease about the great lacunae in our children’s understanding of who they are and is prompted to try to fill the gaps.July 4 is one of the times I, as a native American, feel instinctively uneasy about the great gaps in our children’s understanding of their American identity, and thus I am motivated to do something to fill the gaps.2.And our physical separation from our native land is not much of an issue. And living away from our native country does not matter much (in our children’s acquisition of our native language).3.In my day little French kids looked like nothing other than little French kids…When I lived in France as an expatriated child, the French kids were dressed in the unique French style, thus looking quite different from their counterparts in other countries.4.That experience no longer seems possible in Western countries – a sad development, in my view.Full immersion in a truly foreign world no longer seems possible in Western countries, and I think this is a deplorable impact of globalization upon the growth of children in a foreign country.Unit 71.He was almost innocent of any sense of responsibility.→He almost had no sense of responsibility.2.He wrote begging letters by the score, sometimes groveling without shame, at others loftily offering his intended benefactor the privilege ofcontributing to his support, and being mortally offended of the recipient declined the honor.→He wrote a large number of letters to his patron without shame, begging for money. But in a manner that it seemed a great honor for the patron to be offered the chance support him. That’s why he would be greatly offended if the patron refused to tale the honor.3.He would pull endless wires in order to meet some man who admired his work and was able and anxious to be of use to him.→he would use the influences from as many people as possible to meet his admirer who was readily useful to him.4.Is it any wonder he had no time to be a man?→Wagner was such a miraculous monster, is it any wonder that he didn’t behave like a normal human being in this world?Unit81.“Yes, down,”he says.“Yes, I’m going down,” he says.(Literally, he means that he is going down with the bed ,but metaphorically he means that his physical condition is going from bad to worse.2.It is a sound you have never heard. It is something new under the sun. It could cure cancer.And then he laughs. The wild, relaxed laughter is a totally new sound in the world that you have never heard. The laughter could cure cancer.3.She looks over at me shaking her head and making her mouth go.The aide looks over at me, shaking her head to express her frustration andpursing her lips to signal her annoyance, I understand that we are to cooperate.Unit91.he couldn’t stand not being a part of our school.→He wanted very much to be a teacher of our school.2.we found a kinship→we found a strong connection between.3.I……supported myself by sweeping foot floors of off-Broadway stages →I supported myself by sweeping floors of off-broadway stages before there was any new role of me to play.4.He was still living in a world vibrant with all of the beautiful treasures he has stored→he was still living in a world that was exciting and lively because of all the beautiful poems he had memorized.Unit 101.Urban life, during the hours when they reign, is urbane.→Rats make city life orderly and courteous when they dominate the city deep at night.2.City dwellers take the city with them to the country, for they will not live without is pamperings.→City dwellers create all kinds of fashion in the country, for they will not live without these fashionable things.3.These windows are a scandal because they endanger the lives of office workers in case of fire.→These windows are disgraceful because they put the lives of officeworkers in danger if a fire should occur.4.No true sense of the rhythms of the seasons is to be had from a lawn in the backyard and a few spindly trees struggling to survive.→a lawn in the backyard and a few spindle-shaped trees struggling for life are not enough to give the dweller any true sense of the season changes.Unit 111.Nothing remains of it but memories and a fringe of dwelling houses on its outskirts.Except for some dwelling houses on its suburbs, San Francisco has almost completely disappeared from the world and only remains in people’s memories.1.There was no withstanding the onrush of the flames.Nothing could stop the advancement of the flames.2.An enumeration of the deeds of heroism would stock a library and bankrupt the Carnegie medal fund.The courageous and brave deeds in the firefighting would fill up a library if related in writing and exhaust the Carnegie medal fund if rewarded.3.Sometimes a whole family was harnessed to a carriage or delivery wagon that was weighted down with their possessions.Sometimes all members of a family fastened themselves with straps to a carriage or delivery wagon that was heavily loaded with their possessions.5.And against this wall of flames, silhouetted sharply, were two United States cavalrymen sitting their horse , calmly watching.Two United States soldiers sat astride on their horse and calmly watched theconflagration, their shapes contrasting sharply with the wall.Unit 121. It is an insidious practice, all the uglier for its blatancy.The media’s malicious use of the small segment of black America to represent the whole of it is harmful and offensive.2. The free press, indeed, as the main interpreter of American culture and American experience, holds the mirror on American reality －so much so that what the media say is, even if it’s not that way at all.The media are supposed to present American culture and American experience truthfully by reflecting American reality, and people usually accept news reports as truth without any doubt. Unfortunately, in many cases what they present is anything but the truth.The distorted, inaccurate coverage of news is worse than covering nothing at all about blacks.4. Nor is it a matter of closing one’s eyes to the very real problems of the urban underclass －which undeniably is disproportionately black.We should never ignore the existence of real problems of the urban underclass －which undeniably is disproportionately black.5. For the millions of black people like myself －ordinary, hard-working, law-abiding, tax-paying Americans －the media’s blindness to the fact that we even exist, let alone to our contributions to American society, is a bitter cup to drink.Most black people work hard, obey the law and pay all kinds of taxes. We have made our contributions to American society, as all the other Americans have.But the media never notice and cover it. This is really agonizing for the blacks.Unit1catastrophic灾难的，悲惨的amisfortune不幸，灾难n desperately极度地，绝望地adunmeasured未经测量的amenace威胁，恐吓（或存在类似危害的人或事）nlull暂停deceptive 欺骗性的误导的atriumph胜利成功n imposter 冒名顶替者n far-reaching 深远的，广泛的aaddress 致辞，演说v petty 琐碎的，不重要的aconviction 深信确信n apparently显然地ad overwhelming压倒性的amight 力量威力权力n liquidate清算结束终止v sponge海绵nslate石板nflinch畏缩畏惧v persevere坚持v compliment称赞恭维褒扬vventure敢于vstern严厉的，苛刻的a station身份地位nUnit2velvet 天鹅绒，丝绒n inch慢慢移动v minutely 详细地精密地adannoyance烦恼nsidle侧身而行悄悄地贴近vscribble潦草地写画v shuffle拖后腿，拖累v hugger-mugger混乱的无序的aslinky一个玩具品牌nquaint古试的，吸引人的agratifying悦人的令人满足的aintuitive直觉的aintuitively直觉地直观地adpenetrate穿过进入vwedge挤进塞入vpedestrian步行者nzigzag曲折行进vjostle推挤撞vfidget坐立不安vfidgety不安的烦躁的arelentless不间断的aproximity亲近接近临近nallure诱使vproliferation增殖ninfuse灌输注入沏泡vcaffeine咖啡因njangling焦虑的alogistics 后勤ntread踩踏vspread施展蔓延nwager打赌vtrespass 入侵vmutter嘀咕vlament哀悼悔恨vgrant同意vexpansionist 扩张主义者nstake 打赌vannex 吞并vroutinely例行公事的acommandeer征募霸占vfoursome四人组nshrink收缩皱缩vgenome基因组nneuroscientist 神经学家nsouped-up强有力的aneuron神经细胞ntidal潮汐的atidal wave潮汐ncontracting收缩的缩小的aUnit3alienation疏远精神错乱nforum论坛naccess进入接近nmodal形式的apotential潜力nglobalization全球化ndramatically引人注目地，戏剧性地adfragmentation碎片alienate使疏远vaddicted沉溺的，上瘾的aalcoholic酗酒者nmoderate适度的中等的aexaggeration夸张夸大其词故作姿态nbinge狂欢放纵nskew使歪斜vdepress使沮丧vdepressed沮丧的afoster培养vsimulate模仿冒充vsimulated模仿的acyberspace网络空间nsurf网上冲浪vperceive理解认识到察觉到vconverse相反反面ngratification满意喜悦noyster一个随心所欲的世界Unit4dispatch派遣vconstitute组成构成vartistry工艺npulse脉冲脉搏nledge 壁架nunearthly神秘的arubble碎石nwreckage残骸nstumble蹒跚voutskirts郊区nintact完整的aapprehend担心忧虑vperil危险冒险ncounterpoise保持平衡vcontinuation继续延长nUnit5tapestry挂毯nbudget预算nchase 追赶追逐nshoot-out枪战ncosmic无穷的aaffecting感人的aresiliency恢复力ntissue网络ndrastic激烈的adrastically激烈地adbuddy密友nflick电影ntrendy时髦的流行的atrendiness 时髦nvérité实录电影ncelluloid电影胶片nsidekick助手伙伴natavistic返祖现象ncull挑选vbounding人际关系nprimal最初的基本的aattachment依附依恋nadversity灾难逆境npalpable易察觉的明显的apalpably 明显地adaccessory配件装饰物nloathsome令人憎恶的aconfidence信任信心nconfess坦白vwretched令人苦恼的amoan呻吟vrestraint限制约束ngrievance不满不平委屈nclaustrophobic自闭症的achum密友ntrench战壕ntrench mate战友nUnit6regulation 符合规定的官方的aprompt引起v expatriate定居国外v barbecue烧烤n suppress抑制镇压v heritage遗产ntwinge阵痛nunease不安nlacuna隔阂空隙n lacunae pl.folly 愚蠢的行为想法n convey传达vreenact再现v reenactment情景再现n skirmish短暂而激烈的斗争nlaunch发动发起v bonnet遮阳帽n goggle-eyed瞪大眼睛的amake-believe虚拟的a swell充满了vpursue继续v enlightenment启发启蒙nriposte机敏的回答v resonate共鸣v sinister邪恶的a personify人格化v cliché陈词滥调n backdrop背景npeer平辈nfleecy质感的a fleeciness质感n confront面临vjarring不和谐的a immersed融入的a Unit7campaign 行动n publicize宣传公布v supplant取代v empirical基于…考虑的apublicity公众注意力n clinch赢得vspot插播广告nswing转变vdictate支配vpriority优先考虑的事n close-up特写ncoverage新闻版面nincumbency任职nplatform政策ndepart脱离违背vdeparture偏差背离ncharisma个人魅力ncondense浓缩压缩vspectacular惊人的壮观的atestament证明norientation定位nelectorate选举人nbog事陷于泥沼，使动弹不得vbe bogged down阻止发展使停顿newscaster播报员ndenounce公开指责谴责vdetrimental有害的acloud使模糊不清voverrate过高评价vhyperbole夸张nimagery意象形象化ntranscript副本nprofuse丰富的很多的aUnit8undersized小于一般尺寸的anerve神经nagony遭受痛苦ndelusion错觉ngrandeur地位显赫的nconceit狂妄自负nexhaust使筋疲力尽vexhausting十分烦人的aconversationalist健谈的人ntiresome讨人厌的amania狂躁nharangue高谈阔论nvoluble口若悬河，健谈的avolubility流利健谈nvegetarianism素食主义者npamphlet小册子nrave咆哮vsuicidal自我毁灭的agloom压抑ncallous无情的麻木的ashudder战栗发抖vgroveling卑躬屈膝aloftily 傲慢地自负地abenefactor施主，捐助者nrecipient接受者nrajah一印第安国王nunscrupulous寡廉鲜耻的aprocession列队队伍ninfidelity不忠诚无信仰nidiotic白痴的aarrogance傲慢无礼ncaricature漫画n讽刺vburlesque做戏使滑稽vlibretto剧本ntestimony证据证词nstupendous惊人的巨大的amistress情妇ncompromise妥协nconceive想出vdownright完全地adtorment煎熬ndemon恶魔nUnit9stance态度立场nassemble集合装配收集vfurtive鬼鬼祟祟的秘密的atan晒成褐色vclose-cropped剪成非常短的avile相当使人不愉快的讨人厌的arepose睡眠休息nsnowbound被雪困住的abonsai盆栽nprune修剪vfacsimile传真复写nacknowledge告知已收到vcache贮存物隐藏物nkickshaw精美的菜肴nawkwardly笨拙地不雅地adstump剩余部分nscab疤nforceps医用镊子nshard碎片ndisinfectant消毒剂ninert迟缓的呆滞的aathwart横跨prepscramble使混乱vscrambled egg炒蛋vdome圆屋顶nprobe调查探测vheft举起测试重量vaccomplice同谋共犯noatmeal燕麦粥ndeceased已故的adignified有尊严的高贵的aUnit10trilogy三部曲nstutter结巴口吃vstutterer口吃的人nsnicker偷笑窃笑ntraumatic创伤的acatfish鲶鱼nprodigious巨大的anondenominational不限于一宗教宗派的ahumiliate使丢脸羞辱vvent（感情）发泄vpound连续打击vgrit研磨vretreat休息寓所nsavor尽情享受vkinship同族者nsermon训诫启示ncritique批评批评文章nsmirk假笑nwry歪曲的adaze迷惑ndubious无把握的半信半疑的cadence节奏ntutelage教导指导noratorical演说的amaneuver军事演习nmentor指导者nvibrant战栗的响亮的aresurrect使复活复兴vabundant 丰富的a.。

全新版综合教程4第五单元课文译文和课后练习答案

第五单元课文A有些人似乎容易了解：他们的个性在初次交往时就表露无遗。

然而，外表可能具有欺骗性。

患难之交S．毛姆三十年来，我一直研究我的人类同胞，但至今了解不多。

每当有人跟我说他对一个人的第一次印象向来不错的时候，我就耸耸肩。

我想这种人不是无知，就是自大。

拿我自己来说，我发现，认识一个人的时间越长，我就越感到困惑。

我产生这些想法，是因为我在今天早上的报纸上看到爱德华·海德·伯顿在神户去世的消息。

他是个商人，在日本经商多年。

我跟他并不熟，但是对他挺有兴趣，因为有一次他让我大吃一惊。

要不是听他亲口讲述这个故事，我根本不会相信他能做出这种事来。

这件事之所以特别令人惊讶，是因为无论是外表还是风度，他都让人想到一种非常明确的类型。

要说真有表里如一的人的话，那就是此公了。

他个子很小，身高不过5英尺4英寸，身材纤细，白头发、蓝眼睛，红红的脸上布满皱纹。

我估计自己认识他时，他大约有60岁光景。

他向来衣着整洁素雅，合乎他的年龄和身份。

伯顿的办事处设在神户，但他常常到横滨宋。

有一次，我正好因为等船，要在那里呆几天，在英国俱乐部经人介绍与他相识。

我们在一起玩桥牌。

他打得不错，牌风也好。

无论在玩牌的时候，还是在后来一起喝酒的时候，他的话都不多，但说的话却都合情合理。

他挺幽默，但并不咋呼。

他在俱乐部里似乎人缘不错，后来，在他走了以后，人家都说他是个顶呱呱的人。

事有凑巧，我们俩都住在格兰德大酒店。

第二天他请我吃饭。

我见到了他的太太——一位肥肥胖胖、满面笑容的半老妇人——和他的两个女儿。

这显然是和睦恩爱的一家人。

我想，伯顿当时给我印象最深的主要还是他这个人和善。

他那双温和的蓝眼睛有种令人愉快的神情。

他说话的声音轻柔；你无法想象他会提高嗓门大发雷霆；他的笑容和蔼可亲。

这个人吸引你，是因为你从他身上感到他对别人的真正的爱。

同时他也喜欢玩牌，喝鸡尾酒，他能绘声绘色地讲个来劲儿的段子什么的，他年轻时多少还是个运动员呢。
