新编大学英语第3册课后答案超详细版

新编大学英语第3册课后答案超详细版在大学的英语学习中，《新编大学英语》第3 册无疑是重要的一环。

对于课后习题的答案，详细准确的解读能帮助我们更好地理解知识点，巩固所学。

接下来，就为大家呈现一份超详细的课后答案。

首先，我们来看第一单元的课后习题。

第一题通常是词汇理解与运用，这部分主要考查对新学单词的掌握程度。

比如，有这样一个单词“profound”，它的意思是“深刻的；深远的”。

在句子“He has a profound understanding of the problem”中，就需要理解“profound”是用来形容理解的深度。

再看第二题的语法练习。

关于时态的运用，经常会让同学们感到困惑。

以一般过去时和现在完成时为例，“I went to Beijing last year”和“I have been to Beijing twice”，前者强调过去的动作，后者则强调过去的动作对现在的影响。

到了阅读理解部分，这要求我们不仅要理解文章的表面意思，还要能够领会作者的意图和观点。

比如，有一篇关于文化差异的文章，我们需要通过细节描写来体会不同文化之间的碰撞和融合。

第三单元的听力练习答案也值得详细分析。

听力材料中可能会有各种口音和语速，这就需要我们集中注意力，抓住关键信息。

在回答问题时，要注意关键词的匹配和理解。

写作部分的课后答案能给我们提供很好的参考和借鉴。

比如，题目要求写一篇关于旅游经历的短文，我们要注意文章的结构，开头可以引入主题，中间详细描述旅游中的所见所闻，结尾总结感受和收获。

对于翻译题，准确理解原文的意思是关键。

有时候，一个单词在不同的语境中会有不同的翻译。

比如“handle”这个单词，在“He knows how to handle the mac hine”中是“操作”的意思，而在“Can you handle this problem?”中则是“处理”的意思。

在第四单元的课后练习中，词汇拓展是一个重点。

新编大学英语3课后作文

新编大学英语3作文Unit 1 PersonalityDirections: Write an article entitled “My Advice to Pessimists”. Y our writing must cover the following two points:1）disadvantages of pessimism2）way(s) of overcoming pessimismSample OneIt is believed that pessimism often leads to hopelessness, sickness and failure, while optimism usually brings happiness, good health and success. Pessimists also make those around them very miserable. Therefore, pessimists should change their way of thinking and overcome the negative aspects of their personalities. Here are a few tips for them:1. Try to smile more often. A smile has great power. It can chase sadness away. It will make you and other people feel happy. And it may even make things easier and better. Smiling in the morning makes a good beginning for the day. A smile is the most important sign of optimism.2. Build up your self-confidence. Try to discover as many of your personal strengths as you can. Then write them all down. Read them several times when you are getting ready to do something or when you are facing difficulties. Y our list will help you see your abilities.3. Change your way of thinking. Don't always think that things will go wrong or that if they do there will be terrible results. Instead, convince yourself that things will improve and that you can work hard to help improve them. If you fail, think about what you have learned from the failure. If you succeed, praise yourself. Don't be too modest! There is nothing more encouraging than self-praise.Try your best to become an optimist.Sample TwoUnit 4 Career PlanningApplication LetterSample OneMay 5, _____Apartment 2E3465 Boulevard EastDallas, TX 75221Fidelity National BankP.O.

Money is my secondary consideration.I would be glad to come for an interview at your convenience. My phone number is ________. I look forward to hearing from you.Sincerely Y ours,XXXUnit 5 LanguageShould Learners Aim to Speak English with a Native-Speaker Pronunciation? Sample OneIn my opinion, there is no point in aiming to speak English with a native-speaker pronunciation. For most people, it is a waste of time.First, language is a tool for communication among human beings. If people we meet understand what we are saying, that is all that is necessary. We do not need to imitate native speaker's pronunciation. In any case, there are many types of accents, so which one should we choose to imitate?Second, the most important thing is how well we organize what we want to express. Our ideas should be clear and easy to understand. To do so, we should be able to use right words and correct grammar.Third, given the fact that we live in China, it seems a little bit pointless for us to try desperately hard to get rid of our national accent in order to speak BBC English.Finally, each of us has our own style when we speak. If we can give free rein to personal style, the English-speaking world will become more colorful and more interesting.In a word, I prefer to speak with my characteristic and recognizable pronunciation, so long as listeners can understand me.Sample TwoY es, I think it is important to aim for native-speaker pronunciation. First of all, I think perfection is always a good goal in any aspect of language-learning. We aim for perfect grammar, so why not perfect pronunciation?Second, the purpose of learning a language is to communicate with native-speakers or people from other parts of the world. The better my pronunciation is, the more easily they will be able to understand me. And I want people to understand me without any difficulty.Third, English is now an international language and I would like to be part of that community. If my pronunciation is like a native-speaker's, I will blend into the community more naturally. I'll feel pleased if I am taken for a native-speaker. Even if I can't speak so well, I don't like to spoil the language by terrible pronunciation.So learners should aim to speak English with a native-speaker pronunciation.Unit 6 AnimalsAnimals Should Be TrainedThere are a wide variety of animals in the world. And many of them are highly intelligent. So if we train some animals to work for human beings, we can save a lot of money and manpower.First, some kinds of animals can be trained based on their capacity to do certaintypes of jobs better than humans. For example, since dogs have a superior ability to track down odors, we can train them to find illegal drugs, earthquake victims, or even ancient tombs.Second, some animals can even lend us their hands. The monkey is a good example. Monkeys can be trained to learn to open doors, fetch tools, bring books, etc. So they can help those who cannot move about freely because of some physical problems. Monkeys make the lives of these people happier and more comfortable.Finally, in some cases, using animals not only saves money but also trouble. Using dolphins as underwater guards can be better and cheaper than any man-made tracking devices.In a word, animals should be trained to help humans. If we train animals in the proper way, both humans and animals can get along very well.Give Animals Their FreedomHumans and animals are both creatures of nature, so we are equal. We have no right to take advantage of them. However, many animals are now being trained to work for us. Monkeys are trained as servants, dogs as hunters and sniffers, and dolphins as soldiers.Beasts should be allowed to run freely over great distances and birds, fly freely in the blue sky. When they are in nature, they are active and able to live a normal life. But when they are kept in captivity, they are bored and frustrated.If we have the right to choose our fate, so do animals. So when we force them to serve us, they have no freedom and are like slaves. What’s more, a lot of animals lose their lives when they help humans. But most humans don't care about their lives at all. As we know, life belongs to us only once and therefore is priceless, and it is also true with animals. But we show no mercy to animals when they have done so much for us. We are cold-blooded creatures and we should criticize ourselves.In brief, we should treat animals in the same way we treat other people. Give animals their freedom.Unit 7 The Joy of TravelTraveling Is WonderfulIn school we always study hard and rarely have time for play and relaxation. During our vacation, we can do what we like. Some students go swimming, watch TV, go to the cinema, etc. But all I want to do is to travel.Traveling is interesting. Y ou can see a lot of fascinating things and you can learn about history. Three years ago, I went to Beijing. When I was in the Summer Palace, I walked through the famous Long Corridor, admiring the beautiful pictures drawn on it. In the Imperial Palace, I saw a lot of rare treasures I had never seen before. I went to the Great Wall as well as the Ming Tombs. After visiting these famous places, I can’t help feeling proud of my great motherland.I think it is important to travel to different countries, if possible, so that you can learn about different cultures and customs. It can widen your knowledge of the world. In addition to learning new things, you can also discover the beauty of nature byyourself. When you are on the top of a mountain, you can breathe fresh air, you can see green scenery below and you can hear the sounds of nature. It is a very wonderful feeling.Now I’d like to invi te you to go on a trip with me. Can you refuse?I Enjoy TravelingI enjoy traveling. I even consider it as a part of my life. When winter vacation approaches, the question for me to ask is not whether I should travel but where I should travel.I find traveling can do me a lot of good when I look back on my trips. Traveling brings me knowledge and pleasure. It puts me in a good mood. When I go back to my studies, I work more happily.As for knowledge, traveling helps me learn a lot about local customs and it broadens my views. Three years ago, I went to the “European City” in Wuxi, where there are many models of European architecture. During that trip I learned something about Europe. Sometimes, traveling can bring me unexpected pleasure, too. Last year, two friends and I went to a small town near the Tai Mountain. The fact that the town had beautiful scenery and low expenses made us overjoyed.Traveling is uplifting because it is relaxing and we can get rid of our anxiety and stress during the trip. If we travel together with our friends, we can improve our friendship through the shared experience. We can also meet new people and make new friends.In the future, I plan to do more traveling.Unit 8 Nature or Nurture"Which Has Had More Influence on Y ou, Heredity or Environment?" Sample OneI both benefit and suffer much from heredity. A short stout figure, an introverted personality, and unimaginative but rational mind: all of these traits come from the genes passed on to me from my parents. But family, schools, and society work together to shape what I am today.My parents are both sport lovers, which makes me fond of physical exercises and turns my frame into a strong body. My honest parents punish me severely whenever I lie or make empty promises, thus I've learned the importance of personal integrity. At school I've learned to help others, to care for others and also to improve my reasoning and understanding skills. Learning about various positive and negative examples of behavior from the media and other sources of information, I have set my own moral standards regarding what to do and what not to do, what to like and what to hate.Environment can change a person completely no matter where he was born and what he genetically inherited from his parents.Sample TwoI always believe that a person can succeed in doing anything he feels interested in. Y our environment provides all sorts of opportunities and the things necessary foryour personalpursuit and achievement.Which has had more influence on you, heredity or environment? This is a difficult question to answer.First, let us examine the influence of heredity. All my classmates call me "Fat Yu" because I am fat. My father is also fat, so I can't help connecting my fatness with his! Although I can't be absolutely sure that it comes from my father, I do think that I probably have a gene which he passed on to me and which determines my body build or shape.Aside from that gene, my father gave me many excellent qualities. For example, I think I am good at abstract thinking. My father is an engineer and he often tells me that he was very good at Math and Physics at middle school and college. So thanks to these genes of his I got into this university.However, I have many other characteristics, which may come from the environment I grew up in. For example, my father and mother are conservative and traditional. They lack a spirit of adventure and they have a hard time understanding many of the new things in China today. I, on the contrary, have the desire to explore and I hope I can become a pioneer of reform. I often have many original thoughts and ideas. All changes takingplace around me whet my appetite for exploration.In conclusion, I think both heredity and environment have influenced me greatly. Heredity created me, but environment has improved me.Unit 9 MusicThe Power of MusicMusic is the universal language of mankind. Music is everywhere. We can hear it in restaurants, airports, railway stations, supermarkets, department stores, banks, hospitals, and many other public places. Music of all kinds is now available, and tapes and CDs are not very expensive.Music plays an important role in our everyday lives. Music can express emotions that are beyond speech and give us a better feeling about ourselves and about everything around us. It can change our attitudes towards many things.When we feel sad, music is moonlight in the gloomy night of life which can cheer us up; when we are tired and bored, music can make us relaxed, it has charms to soothe the savage breast, to soften rocks, or bend a knotted oak. When we are working or studying, music can provide us with a pleasant environment so that we can work or study more efficiently. Music can make people work faster and with more energy. The best, most beautiful, and most perfect way that we have of expressing a sweet concord of mind to each other is by music. Music can also lull the babies to sleep and can even make cows produce more milk. In a word, music is irresistible and life without music would be boring and monotonous.Unit 10 Reflections on LifeSample OneThe Virtues of Being Y oung and Being OldBeing young is a wonderful thing. We are always trying to find ways to keep ourselves young for as long as possible. When we compliment someone on their young appearance, they will feel proud and happy. Why is youth so preferred or favored? It's because youth is the bright and colorful scenery of life. Y oung people have glorious ideas and are full of dreams. They have energy, time and optimism. Y outh is a time for realizing dreams. Looking back on one's youth will bring the finest memories.Being old is also wonderful. The aged are respected by society. They have experience so people turn to them when they are in trouble or when they need advice. Old people are a source of knowledge and experience for the young. Although they dream less than before, they're more confident about themselves thanks to their knowledge and experience. Those who worked hard when young will be able to appreciate their achievements and keep good memories of their past.Being young, we must take every opportunity to improve ourselves so that when we are old, we will have no regrets about our youth.Sample TwoThe Virtues of Being Y oung and Being OldLife is strange and at different phases of your life you can do and enjoy different things. When you are young, you learn to understand the meaning of life. When you are old, you see life more clearly and enjoy what you have achieved before. There are many differences between young people and old people.Y oung people are equipped with a good memory and strong muscles to gain knowledge and experience. They can learn lots of things whenever they desire. Y o uth is the most important part of a person's life. Y oung people are vigorous and energetic, though they tend to be impulsive. They face challenges with passion and are open to new things. They are unwilling to stay in the same place and always want to keep moving. It won't take long for them to recover from disappointing failures, especially when they can get encouragement and advice from people around them. It seems natural for them to make great progress in their studies and work.The advantage of being old is that your strength lies in your knowledge and experience. Old people can do things quickly without too much energy or vigor and it won't take them too long to come up with a reasonable decision. Their most important virtue is that they can teach the young how to do things well or how to be successful, and how to avoid unnecessary loss or failure. Those who are concerned with young people are always respected by others. Y oung people hope they'll be able to know the world as the old do sooner or later.So if we are positive, we can always feel good about ourselves whether young or old.。

Unit 1羞怯的痛苦对许多人来说，羞怯是很多不愉快的起因。

各种各样的人——矮的、高的、愚笨的、聪明的、年轻的、年老的、瘦的、胖的——都说自己是羞怯的。

羞怯的人会焦虑不安，感到不自然；也就是说，他们过分地关注自己的外表和举止。

脑海中不断盘旋着一些使自己不安的想法：我给人留下的是什么印象？他们喜欢我吗？我讲话是不是傻里傻气？我长得难看。

我穿的衣服毫不引人注目。

很显然这种不安的感觉会对人产生不利的影响。

一个人的自我看法反映在自己的行为方式之中，而一个人的行为方式又影响他人的反应。

通常，人们如何看待自己对他们生活的各个方面都会产生深刻的影响。

例如，具有积极的自我价值观或很强自尊心的人往往表现出自信。

而由于自信，他们不需要他人不断地称赞和鼓励，也能使自己感觉良好。

自信者热情、自发地投入生活。

他们不因别人认为他们“该”做什么而受到影响。

有很强自尊心的人不会被批评所伤害；他们不会把批评看作是人身攻击。

相反，他们认为批评是-•种提醒他们改进的建议。

相比之下，羞怯的人自尊心较弱，往往消极被动并且容易受他人影响。

他们（是否）在做“该做的事情"需要得到别人的肯定。

害羞的人对批评非常敏感；他们觉得批评正好证实了他们比别人差。

他们也很难因别人的赞美而高兴，因为他们相信自己不值得称赞。

羞怯的人也许会用这样的话来回答别人的赞美之辞: “你这么说只是为了让我感觉好一些。

我知道这不是真的。

”显然，尽管自我意识是一种健康的品质，过分的自我意识却是不利和有害的。

能否彻底消除或者至少减轻羞怯感呢？幸运的是，人们能够通过坚持不懈的努力建立自信从而克服羞怯。

由于胆怯和缺少自尊是密切相关的，因此正视自己的弱点和正视自己的优点一样重要。

例如，大多数人希望每门功课都得A。

如果仅仅因为在某些领域有困难，就把自己列为差生，这不恰如其分。

人们对自己的期望必须现实。

老是想那些不可能的事情会令自己觉得无能，甚至产生嫉妒。

当我们嫉妒比自己成绩好的学生时我们正在自我否定。

Understanding the Organization of the Text1) Introduction: (Para.1)Shyness is the cause of much unhappiness for a great many people.2) Reasons why shyness can have a negative effect: (Para.2&3)People’s self-concept has a profound effect on all areas of their lives.People with high self-esteem usually act with confidence.People with low self-esteem are likely to be passive and easily influenced by others.3) Ways of overcoming shyness: (Para.4-15)i) Recognize your personal strengths and weaknesses.ii) Set reasonable goals.iii) Don’t waste time and energy on destructive feelings such as guilt and shame.iv) Don’t be afraid to speak up and give you r point of view.v) Do not make negative comments about yourself.vi) Accept criticism thoughtfully.vii) Profit from failures and disappointments by viewing them as learning experiences.viii) Do not associate with people who make you feel inadequate.ix) Set aside time to relax, enjoy hobbies, and reevaluate your goals regularly.x) Practice being in social situations.4) Conclusion: (Para.16)The better we understand ourselves, the easier it becomes to live up to our full potential.2. Understanding Specific Information1) F 2) F 3) T 4) T 5) T 6) F 7) T 8) F 9) F 10) T3. Group Discussion1) I think the most effective ways of overcoming shyness are the first and seventh ways.Recognizing our personal strengths and weaknesses is useful because if we know ourselves better, we can feel more self-confident. We can be more objective, instead of being blind. The seventh way is to profit from failures and disappointments as learning experiences. If we allow ourselves to get discouraged and sad when we fail, then we will feel more unsure of ourselves. But if we think of a failure as a learning experience, we are adopting a positive attitude. By analyzing objectively why we failed and planning how to set about doing things differently we will be more likely to succeed next time.2) Modesty is used to describe a reserved appraisal of one’s merits, abilities or success, e.g. she isvery modest about her accomplishments. Shyness is used to describe the uncomfortable feeling one has in the company of others. It often implies a lack of self-confidence and a timid, reserved manner. Modesty is a good personality trait while shyness in many cases is undesirable.3) Yes, it is appropriate and normal to be shy in some circumstances: in the presence of teachers,your boss, your parents’ friends or your prospective in-laws; when you are dating someone, especially the first time; when you are with strangers; when you are in a new environment;when you’re facing a large audienc e.Vocabulary1.

So hecould enjoy all the food first.11) They were very angry.12) They took back the feathers they had lent him.13) He asked them to take a message to his wife.14) Parrot, because he wanted to take advantage of the chance to get revenge.15) He asked Parrot to tell his wife to bring out all the soft things in his house to cover theground with them so that he would be able to land safely. But Parrot told his wife to bring out all the hard and sharp, not the soft, things instead.16) His shell was broken into hundreds of pieces.2. Ekwefi is telling a story about Tortoise. Long long ago, there was a famine, and the birds got an invitation from the sky to attend a feast there. Tortoise learned about it and with his sweet tongue he persuaded the birds to take him with them and so each bird lent him a feather. Tortoise cunningly thought of an idea that enabled him to have all the food by naming himself “All of you.” When they reached the sky, they received a warm welcome and soon the food was presented to them. Then he asked one of the people in the sky: “For whom have you prepared all this feast?” The man replied: “For all of you.” So he ate almost all the best food. The birds became very angry and took back their feathers before flying home. Without feathers, he had to jump onto the ground and his shell was broken into pieces.3. Acting out the StorySampleBird A: How exciting! All of us are invited to the feast in the sky.Bird B: I just can’t wait. What do you think I should wear?Tortoise: Hello. Good morning. What are you excited about?Bird A: Didn’t you know that we are going t o the sky?Bird B: And we are going to have a big dinner. What fun!Tortoise: How nice it is. What lucky guys. May I go with you? I’m sure we’ll have a lot of fun. Bird A: Yes, we’ll have great fun, but not you. We know you too well. You are full of cunnin g and you are ungrateful.Bird B: If we allow you to come with us, you will soon begin your mischief.Bird A: We know you of old.Tortoise:You don’t know me now. I’m a changed man. I am not the mischievous man you once knew. In fact, I am thoughtful and well-meaning. I have learned that a man whomakes trouble for others is also making trouble for himself. Rest assured, I promiseyou I will not cause you any trouble.Bird A: (Talking to Bird B) Maybe he is a changed man now. Let’s talk to our bird friends and see if we will take him with us.(After a brief discussion with all the other birds)Bird B: Ok. Tortoise, now we all agreed to take you to the sky. Each of us will lend you a feather so that you can have two wings to fly.(During the flight to the party)Bird A: Tortoise is a great orator!Bird B: Let’s make him the spokesperson for the party.Tortoise: Did you know that we need a new name when we are invited to a great feast like this?It is an age-old custom and our hosts in the sky will expect us to honor it.Bird A: We haven’t heard of this before. But as you are such a learned man, if you say this, we will choose a new name for ourselves. I will call myself Good-Looking.Bird B: I am Smart-Ass.Tortoise: And my new name is All of You.(On their arrival at the sky)Sky people:Welcome to the sky, our dear bird friends. We are so pleased to see you again.Please make yourselves at home.Tortoise: My dear respected friends, thank you so much for inviting us to the sky. Nothing can make us happier than this. It is our greatest honor to be here and have a good timewith you.Sky people: Thank you for your nice words. Now please help yourselves to the nuts.Bird A: Tortoise is really eloquent, isn’t he? I’m glad we decided to bring him with us.Bird B: Yes. And these are delicious nuts.Sky people: Now the dinner is ready. Please enjoy the soup, meat, fish and pounded yam. Here is palm wine, too.Tortoise: Just a moment. Let me ask you first. For whom have you prepared this feast?Sky people: For whom?Why? For all of you, of course.Tortoise (To the birds): You remember that my name is All of You. The custom here is to serve the spokesman first and the others later. They will serve you when I finish.Sky people (To themselves): Looks like it is their custom to leave all the food to their king first.Tortoise: Mm. Yummy. Mm. I’m full now. You can start to eat.Bird A: We should never bring him here. I am too angry to eat. I’m going home.Bird B: Wait. I am leaving, too. Take the feather with us.Tortoise:What are you doing? Leave me the feather. Oh, how am I going home without a single feather? You can’t do this to me?Birds: Bye.Tortoise: Could someone take a message for my wife? Tell her to bring out everything soft and cover the ground. …4. Taking SidesSamples1) -- I don’t admire Tortoise’s cleverness. He was unwise to cheat all the birds. After his mischief,how could he have face to live together with them any longer? He would have no friends at all.He was clever, but at the same time he was also stupid. When all the birds became so angry, how could he have trusted Parrot? He should have jumped into the sea to avoid being hurt.-- I admire Tortoise’s cleverness. He was a guy who knew where to look for a nice dinner during a time of famine. He knew very well how to get trust from others. He was also quick-minded. His only mistake was that he should not be so greedy as not to leave any nice food for the birds.--I sympathize with the birds. They took Tortoise with them to the sky out of kindness, but after flying such a long distance, they had to fly back home on an empty stomach. They were formally invited, but the food was enjoyed by Tortoise, who hadn’t been formally invited. I think the birds were very unlucky.-- I think the birds are stupi d. They knew very well that Tortoise couldn’t be trusted as he was always mischievous. But they persuaded themselves that he was a changed man. At the party they should have let the sky people know Tortoise was not their king and they had the right to have some of the nice food, as they were the guests.2) I learned from the story that a) we should be honest, and shouldn’t cheat others. If we cheatothers, we will be punished in the end; b) we shouldn’t be carried away by sweet words, like the birds; c) a leopard can’t change its spots, nor can Tortoise. He was cunning, he could never change his personality and behave himself.V ocabulary1. 1) A. invitation B. invited C. inviting2) A. prepare B. prepared C. preparation D. preparatory/preparation3) A. discoveries B. discoverers C. discovered4) A. approval B. approve C. approved D. approving E. disapprove5) A. eloquent B. eloquence C. eloquently6) A. faithful B. unfaithful/faithless C. faith D. faithfully7) A. occasional B. occasionally C. occasion8) A. delivery B. delivering C. delivered9) A. troublesome/trouble B. troubled C. troubled D. troubling10) A. assurance B. assured C. assure2. 1) ran/got into trouble 2) no trouble 3) asking for trouble4) have…trouble 5) trouble with 6) in serious/deep/big trouble7) get/getting…into trouble 8) took the trouble3.1)with a pattern of roses2)prepared a wonderful/good meal for us3)promised faithfully4)deliver this letter5) a selection of milk and plain chocolate6)keep out of mischief/behave themselves7)the sound of distant thunder8)received approval from the government9)in spite of the fact that he drank too much10) agree whether the drug is safe or notUnit 3IV.

Comparing ExperiencesSample 1In our group, two of us were latchkey children, two were taken care of by their grandparents, and one was taken care of by his mother because his mother did not work. The two who were once latchkey children had felt very much the same as the children mentioned in the passage.They felt lonely and watched TV a lot. But compared with the other students in our group, they are more independent. So in a way, it is good to leave children alone for some time every day.Sample 2In our group, only one person was once a latchkey child. Both her parents were working far away from home and she had to be on her own for most of the time on weekdays. The rest of us were taken care of either by our grandparents or by our parents. Every day when we came home after school, there was always somebody there waiting for us and taking care of us. We could also go out and play with other children after we finished our homework. But sometimes we did wish we were alone so that we could spend the time as we wished.Vocabulary1. 1) c 2) h 3) g 4) a 5) e 6) k 7) i 8) d 9) l 10) b 11) j 12) f2. 1) constantly 2) impact 3) burden 4) Candidly 5) fulfillment 6) salaried 7) resentment 8)assistance 9) perfect 10) suppress3. 1) successfully 2) resentment 3) security 4) necessity 5) advisable6) access/accessibility 7) athletic 8) maturity 9) emotional 10) effectively4. Sentence-Making GameSuggestions for teachers:Step 1: Write on the blackboard about 20 words or phrases that appear in the text. An even number is desirable since the students will be divided into 2 groups.A possible list:rise decade expense financial affect on the other hand priorityengage range forbid isolate stimulate express claim widespreadgiven work out take into consideration in case of secure arisecope with demand provideStep 2: Divide the students into two groups.Step 3: The students make sentences using the words on the blackboard. Each sentence can include more than one word and must be meaningful and grammatically correct. One point is awarded for each correctly used word. The teacher crosses out the word which has been correctly used. If the word is crossed out, it cannot be used again.Step 4: Students are encouraged to work quickly and raise their hands as soon as they come up with a sentence. The teacher works as a judge; the group that gets higher points wins.TranslationDirections: Translate the following sentences into English, using the expressions in brackets.1) Because of an emergency, the doctor will not be available for several hours.2) How will taxes affect people with low incomes?3) My mother always told me that in the long run I would be glad I didn’t give up practicing thepiano.4) The books range in price from $10 to $20.5) It seems to me that you don’t have much choice.6) Given their inexperience, they have done quite a good job.7) For such a big house the price is fairly cheap/low, but you’ve got to take into consideration themoney you will spend on repairs.8) Can we begin by discussing questions/problems arising from the last meeting?Unit 4III.

Job Application and RecruitmentAn alternative activity for the teacher to organize for the class:The teacher may organize an interview in the following way:1) Choose an interview panel of three or four students. Choose three students for the panel to interview for the job of a store detective. Hold the interviews. When they are over, the panel should discuss the qualifications of the applicants and choose the one they think is best.2) Ask the class to talk about the interviews. Ask questions such as:A. Do you agree with the panel’s decision?B. How could the applicants have done better?C. Were the interviews fair?Sample answers-- I agree with the panel’s decision. First, the applicant is very confident in answering the questions and he knows what he is supposed to do. Second, he is quick-minded and very strong. Third, he is interested in the job and is ready to dedicate himself to the job. Finally, he has previous experience in working as a store detective.-- I don’t agree with the panel’s decision. I think the panel puts too much emphasis on the appearance of the applicants. I think Applicant B is much more suited for the job. He has a warmer personality. He can be a good store detective as well as a good staff member, because I don’t think the sole responsibility for a detective is to check on the shoppers. He should also help the customers when possible.-- Generally speaking, I think the panel has made a wise decision and chosen the right one for the job. Yet I think the applicant could have done better by not being so conceited and bragging about his own ability. After all, people cannot trust too much what a person says about himself without further investigation. What’s more, team spirit is very important. If he is not easy-going and feels too good about himself, it will be difficult for others to cooperate with him. Also I doubt whether he will be listening to the boss.Vocabulary1. 1) acceptable 2) efficiency 3) implications 4) instability 5) rationalize6) evaluation 7) foreseeable 8) invention 9) hastily 10) probability11) professional 12) challenging 13) defensive 14) personality2. 1) in case 2) Every so often 3) resort to 4) talk over 5) start over6) in reality 7) at stake 8) seized on 9) leading to 10) take stock of3. 1) programs 2) way 3) technical 4) both 5) provided 6) who7) such 8) needed 9) opportunities 10) when 11) to 12) Completion 13) holding 14) early 15) hire 16) promote 17) up 18) educatingTranslation1.

There were 2 world wars before, during which large numbers of people were killed andthe great majority of them were innocent. Human beings or the whole world can be destroyed if nuclear or biological weapons should be used by violent insane people. We have never heard of anything like these in the animal world. Besides humans have killed large numbers of animals for food, clothes, medical research, pleasure, or for no reason at all. So I think humans are much more aggressive than animals.– No, animals are, in general, more aggressive than humans. Humans are good by nature, while animals have no power of reasoning. What’s more, animals have more physical force and other defenses such as claws and fangs. Without weapons, man is weaker and less aggressive than animals.2) – Yes, sports are generally a good way to channel energy and aggression, especially boxing,wrestling, ball games, etc. International sports enable athletes from many countries to meet and to compete for medals. To prepare for international sports competitions, they have to improve their skills, strengthen their muscles, develop effective strategies, etc. Others, non-athletes, will feel concerned with them, excited with them, and proud of them, and cheer for them.– No, the Olympic Games are just sports competitions. They won’t change the political ideas of nations. We have never heard of any sports games that have stopped disputes, conflicts, wars, etc., but on the other hand there were athletes who were prevented from participating in the Games because of international conflicts. And there have been acts of terrorism, and examples of unfair judgments and aggressive behavior at the Olympic Games.Vocabulary1.2. violent —non-violent doubtfully — undoubtedlysatisfied — dissatisfied normal — abnormalconstructive — destructive personal — impersonaldiminish — increase encourage — discourage3.1) survive 2) conflicts 3) available 4) likely5) injuring 6) absorbed 7) competition 8) instinct9) hesitated 10) similar4.Aggression is the fighting instinct in beast and man, which is directed against members of the same species. It is theorized that in natural conditions aggression helps to ensure survival of individuals (and thus the species), by preventing too dense a population from developing and exhausting all of its food sources. Fighting is generally considered to be a trait characteristic of males and uncharacteristic of females. However, many but not all female mammals exhibit aggression during the postpartum (产后的) period in defense of their young.The great animal behaviorist Konrad Lorenz observed that in every individual the readiness to fight is greatest in the most familiar place: in the middle of its territory. As the distance from territory increases, readiness to fight decreases proportionately. This was not the case with my pet rat; he was ready and willing to beat up his neighbors the minute he stepped through their door. What causes some rats to be more aggressive than others? There is certainly evidence that aggression has a genetic basis, at least in some animals.Translation1. She always behaves badly when her aunt comes to visit.2) If it hadn’t been for your help, we wouldn’t have been able to finish the task in time.3) I warned him off going to the east coast because it was full of tourists.4) The fact that something is cheap doesn’t necessarily mean it’s of low quality.5) Without anyone to turn to for help, making an appropriate choice can be difficult.6) His sadness at the death of his wife found expression in his music.7) Only if Peter goes to the evening party will she go.8) I can only compare the experience to a nightmare.Unit 7III.

新编大学英语3文本及答案Unit10

Unit 10Part OneGrandpa: Now that it's the weekend, what are you going to do, Robbie?Robbie: There's a concert I want to go to tonight.Grandpa: What kind of concert? I mean what kind of music will be played? Classical music, pop music or what?Robbie: Oh, rock music, of course. All the singers are so cool. There is so much feeling to all the songs. It's fantastic!Grandpa: Oh, dear me, rock music! Noisy! To me, it isn't music at all. It's terrible rubbish. And why is it always so loud? It's deafening. How can you stand it?Robbie: Oh, Grandpa, you'll never understand how wonderful it is. When you were my age, life was so slow-paced and peaceful, but now there is so much competition. We have so much pressure and we need to release it. Maybe loud and noisy music is a good way for us to do that.Phillip: Robbie, you don't have time to spend on it. You really should spend more time on your studies. Your final exams are just around the corner. You should concentrate on them.Robbie: Dad, life is not only about studying, and I'm not a machine. I've gotta have some fun. Studying all the time is boring.Grandpa: How can you say that? You're really lucky to have the chance to study at university. When I was your age, I dreamt of going to university, but my family was too poor to afford it. I had lots of brothers, and sisters, and cousins, and so on. Life at that time was not as comfortable as it is now, we didn't...Robbie: Yes, you didn't have enough to eat. That's what you always say. You've told me time and time again. But things are different now. It's the 21st century. I don't think you should always dwell on the past. I don't want to just be a bookworm. I need more freedom.Phillip: Freedom! What do you mean by freedom? Don't you realize how fierce the competition is in modern society? You have to prepare yourself to meet the future. You can't afford to waste your time on meaningless things.Robbie: But Dad, why do you think rock music is a meaningless thing? You need to learn more about the new things in life and keep up with the times. I want to have a totally different life than yours. I need pop music and excitement. The world is more exciting now. Why can't we enjoy this exciting life? We don't have to have the same interests. You really don't understand me. Grandpa: Oh, Robbie! Listen to me. Your dad loves you and wants you to be successful. Robbie: Anyway, I have a date with a girl tonight and we're going to go watch the concert together. I'm really looking forward to it.Phillip: You have a girlfriend? Who is she? How did you meet each other?Robbie: We met on the Net. We've been talking to each other for two months now about the things we like and don't like.Grandpa: It's unbelievable, Robbie. You met a girl on the Net, but you've never met her in person. How do you know you'll like her?Robbie: We've been chatting online for two months now—talking about our likes and dislikes. I think we understand each other very well. Modern people often fall in love on the Net these days. It's not unusual.Grandpa: I just can't imagine it. How can you understand each other? Maybe I'm too old now. There are so many new things I don't understand.Phillip: Maybe we all need to adapt to the changing world. But, Robbie, you also need to listen to what we have been saying.Robbie: OK, Dad, Grandpa. I'll make a compromise with you. I'll go to the concert tonight, but I'll study all weekend. I have to go now. It's getting late. I won't be able to meet my girlfriend. So see you later. Bye.Phillip: That's the younger generation these days, isn't it? It's just not the same.Grandpa: Don't worry, Phillip. When you were that age, I remember you kept complaining about my interference with your freedom. So let it be. I'm sure Robbie will come to understand us later.

When I was six I learned to read. From the beginning, language seemed like magic to me. Recently I read that Freud said, "Words and magic were in the beginning one and the same thing, and even today words retain much of their magical power."During the Christmas season of 1927, when I was a sophomore in high school, I hung out in the street with other kids of my age. The weather was so harsh we played indoors, and after swimming and running and tumbling, we became bored. I suggested we hold a contest to see who could keep a diary the longest. My challenge was accepted by two of my friends. One wrote his diary for two weeks, the other three months, and here I am, still writing mine when I am 50. It has taught me that one way to find the truth is to tell the truth.Questions:1. What is the speaker's favorite spot in his hometown?2. When did the speaker learn to read?3.

"How many people died on that ship?" St. Peter asked."Gee, that's tough," the man replied. "But luckily I just saw the movie. The answer is 1,500."

Afterreading it, John realizes the doctor is right. He tries to reassure his friend, but also asks David to promise to send news as soon as he arrives in Paradise. One week later, as the doctor said, David dies. A month goes past without news, then two. At last, after three months, David calls his friend. John: Hello, how are you, David?David: Fine, thanks. I've got good news and bad news, John.John: I'd rather you would begin first with the good news.David: OK, listen. In Paradise, everything is marvelous. The sun shines all the time and people are so lovely. And, if you may remember, I played on a little team down there but here I play with the best players. Also, I am sure you have never seen such a big football stadium. Angels and God are our public. You know, it is really marvelous.John: Oh, yes. It sounds wonderful. I am really happy for you. BUT you haven't told me the bad news, David.David: Ah yes, my friend. Your name is marked on the notice board. You are going to play in two weeks.Statements:1.

I had this beginners' class, and I'd noticed that everything I wrote down on the blackboard they'd copy down into their books. So we were doing the days of the week, and I wrote them all up on the board and I decided to write an eighth day and called it "my day", and sure enough there were some who diligently wrote it down.I then tried to convince them that in Australia we had eight days a week, but they didn't fall for that one.Speaker B:I’ve always been interested in psychology and I decided to try out an experiment of my own.I had this advanced class and I wanted to do a lesson on speech and silence. The idea was that I’d go in the class, sit down and say nothing and then see how long it would take for someone in the class to say something. Then the students would be able to compare what they’d been thinking during this silence, plus a general discussion on how silence can be embarrassing, and also whypeople find it difficult or are reluctant to say something when they don’t understand what is going on.

You name them—work, family, health, friends and spirit and you're keeping all of these in the air. You will soon understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce back. But the other four balls—family, health, friends and spirit—are made of glass. If you drop one of these, they will be irrevocably scuffed, marked, nicked, damaged or even shattered. They will never be the same.You must understand that and strive for balance in your life. How?Don't undermine your worth by comparing yourself with others. It is because we are different and each of us is special.Don't set your goals by what other people deem important. Only you know what is best for you.Don't take for granted the things closest to your heart. Cling to them as they would be your life. For without them, life is meaningless.Don't let your life slip through your fingers by living in the past or for the future. By living your life one day at a time, you live all the days of your life.Don't give up when you still have something to give. Nothing is really over until the moment you stop trying.Don't be afraid to encounter risks. It is by taking chances that we learn how to be brave.Don't shut love out of your life by saying it's impossible to find time. The quickest way to receive love is to give; the fastest way to lose love is to hold it too tightly; and the best way to keep love is to give it wings.Don't be afraid to learn.

His success resulted in part from his ability to sell the product and in part from his policy of expanding during periods of economic decline, when most of his competitors were reducing their investments.Carnegie believed that individuals should progress through hard work, but he also felt strongly that the wealthy should use their fortunes for the benefit of society. He opposed charity, preferring instead to provide educational opportunities that would allow others to help themselves. "He who dies rich, dies disgraced," he often said.Among his more noteworthy contributions to society are those that bear his name, including the Carnegie Institute of Pittsburgh, which has a library, a museum of fine arts, and a museum of national history. He also founded a school of technology that is now part of Carnegie Mellon University. Other generous gifts he gave to society are the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace to promote understanding between nations, the Carnegie Institute of Washington to fund scientific research, and Carnegie Hall to provide a center for the arts.Few Americans have been left untouched by Andrew Carnegie's generosity. His contributions of more than five million dollars established 2,500 libraries in small communities throughout the country and formed the nucleus of the public library system that we all enjoy today. Questions:1. What is the key to Carnegie's success in his business?2. According to Carnegie, what should the wealthy do?3. What did Carnegie do with his wealth?4. What is the total amount of money Carnegie donated to library establishment?5. Which of the following statements in NOT true for Carnegie?1.D2.B3.D 4,C 5,ASection IIHost: Hello, Ladies and Gentlemen. It gives me great pleasure to introduce our keynote speaker for today's plenary address, Dr. Howard Miller. Dr. Miller, Professor of Sociology at Washington University, has written numerous articles and books on the issues facing older Americans in our aging society for the past 15 years. Dr. Miller...Dr. Miller: Thank you for that introduction. Today, I'd like to begin my remarks with a story from my own life which I feel highlights our common concerns that bring us here. Several years ago when my grandparents were well into their eighties, they were faced with the reality of no longer being able to adequately care for themselves. My grandfather spoke of his greatest fear, that of leaving the only home they had known for the past 60 years. Fighting back the tears, he told of how he had built their home himself from the beginning to the very end. The prospect of having to sell it, give up their independence, and move into a retirement home was an extremely upsetting experience for them. He said that he felt they weren't considered important anymore.For them and some older Americans, their so-called "golden years" are at times not so pleasant, for this period can mean the decline of not only one's health but the loss of identity and self-worth. In many societies, this self-identity is closely related with our social status, occupation, material possessions, or independence. Furthermore, we often live in societies that value only those things which are "new" or in fashion. I mean, how would your family react if you came home tonight, exclaiming, "Hey, come to the living room and see the OLD black and white TV I brought!" Unfortunately, the word "old" raises images of the need to replace or discard.Now, many of the lectures given at this conference have focused on the issues of pension reform, medical care, and the development of public facilities for senior citizens. And while these are vital issues that must be addressed, I'd like to focus my comments on an underlying issue that will affect the overall success of the other programs mentioned. This has to do with altering our perspectives on what it means to be a part of this group, and finding meaningful roles the elderly can and should play in our societies.1.C 2,B 3,D 4.A 5.BSection IIIA man once passed through a forest in Africa, walking at his leisure, smelling the flowers and admiring the beauty of the place. Suddenly he heard the sound of fast approaching danger that was loud and frightening. When he turned, it was to face a large lion rushing at him. The lion's thin waist made evident its hunger. With the lion chasing him, the man's heart nearly leaped out at the sight of it, and so he started to run for his life.The lion was about to catch up with him when the man came upon a well. Then with a mighty leap he jumped into the well and ended up dangling in the heart of the well hanging onto a rope.The lion's voice eventually quieted, but he soon heard the hissing of a snake that had a giant head and a long body which came from somewhere below him. Just as the man was thinking of what to do with the lion and the snake, a black mouse and a white one climbed up to where the rope was attached and started to nibble away at the rope.The man was shocked and so started to shake the rope, hoping to get rid of the mice. As he did so the rope began to swing and knocked him against the walls. The man felt something wet and sticky come into contact with his sides as he banged against the walls. The man licked the substance only to find that it was honey, the type made by bees in the forests and mountains. The honey was so sweet and delicious that he continued to lick it and forgot the situation he was in.Suddenly the man woke up. It was all just a horrible dream! So the man decided he should get his dream interpreted. He went to meet a knowledgeable scholar who was good at interpreting dreams. He told the scholar of his dream. The scholar laughed and said, "Don't you know its interpretation?"The man said he didn't. So the scholar replied, "The lion that was chasing you was the angel of death and the well with the snake in it was your grave and the two mice are the nights and the days that are passing in your life".The man asked, "And how about the honey?"The scholar replied, "That is the sweet taste of life that is distracting you and making you forget death."1.interpret2.forest3.flowers4.chased5.run6.catch7.jumped8.giant9.long 10.black 11.white 12.shaking 13.wet 14.sweet 15.delicious 16.angel 17.grave 18.nights 19.days 20.taste。

新编大学英语3课文翻译及课后习题答案

Unit 1 Personality羞怯的痛苦对许多人来说，羞怯是很多不愉快的起因。

各种各样的人——矮的、高的、愚笨的、聪明的、年轻的、年老的、瘦的、胖的——都说自己是羞怯的。

羞怯的人会焦虑不安，感到不自然；也就是说，他们过分地关注自己的外表和举止。

脑海中不断盘旋着一些使自己不安的想法：我给人留下的是什么印象？他们喜欢我吗？我讲话是不是傻里傻气？我长得难看。

我穿的衣服毫不引人注目。

很显然这种不安的感觉会对人产生不利的影响。

一个人的自我看法反映在自己的行为方式之中，而一个人的行为方式又影响他人的反应。

通常，人们如何看待自己对他们生活的各个方面都会产生深刻的影响。

例如，具有积极的自我价值观或很强自尊心的人往往表现出自信。

而由于自信，他们不需要他人不断地称赞和鼓励，也能使自己感觉良好。

自信者热情、自发地投入生活。

他们不因别人认为他们“该”做什么而受到影响。

有很强自尊心的人不会被批评所伤害；他们不会把批评看作是人身攻击。

相反，他们认为批评是一种提醒他们改进的建议。

相比之下，羞怯的人自尊心较弱，往往消极被动并且容易受他人影响。

他们（是否）在做“该做的事情”需要得到别人的肯定。

害羞的人对批评非常敏感；他们觉得批评正好证实了他们比别人差。

他们也很难因别人的赞美而高兴，因为他们相信自己不值得称赞。

羞怯的人也许会用这样的话来回答别人的赞美之辞：“你这么说只是为了让我感觉好一些。

我知道这不是真的。

”显然，尽管自我意识是一种健康的品质，过分的自我意识却是不利和有害的。

能否彻底消除或者至少减轻羞怯感呢？幸运的是，人们能够通过坚持不懈的努力建立自信从而克服羞怯。

由于胆怯和缺少自尊是密切相关的，因此正视自己的弱点和正视自己的优点一样重要。

例如，大多数人希望每门功课都得A。

如果仅仅因为在某些领域有困难，就把自己列为差生，这不恰如其分。

人们对自己的期望必须现实。

老是想那些不可能的事情会令自己觉得无能，甚至产生嫉妒。

当我们嫉妒比自己成绩好的学生时，我们正在自我否定。

全新版大学英语3作文答案Task 1: Narrative Essay - "My First Day at University"Answer:My first day at university was a whirlwind of excitement and anxiety. As I stepped onto the campus, the vast expanse of green lawns and the imposing architecture of the academic buildings filled me with a sense of awe. The day began with a campus tour, where I was introduced to the various facilities, including the library, the student center, and the sports complex.I was particularly impressed by the library, a modern, multi-story building with a vast collection of books and a quiet, conducive environment for study. The student center was a bustling hub of activity, with students from all walks oflife engaged in conversations and activities that reflectedthe diversity of the university community.My first class was an introductory lecture for the English Literature course. The professor, a charismatic and knowledgeable individual, captivated the audience with his insights into the power of storytelling and the importance of critical thinking. The lecture hall was packed, and I could feel the collective enthusiasm of my peers, which was both infectious and motivating.Navigating the cafeteria for the first time was an adventurein itself. With a wide array of food options from around the world, I found myself spoilt for choice. I opted for a simple sandwich and a salad, which I enjoyed while observing the dynamic interactions among students.The day ended with a welcome event organized by the student council. It was an opportunity to meet fellow students and learn about the various clubs and societies on offer. Isigned up for the debate club and the environmental society, eager to engage in extracurricular activities that alignedwith my interests.In conclusion, my first day at university was a memorable one, filled with new experiences and the promise of personal and academic growth. It set the stage for what I believe will bea transformative journey through higher education.Task 2: Argumentative Essay - "The Importance of Bilingualism in the Globalized World"Answer:In an increasingly globalized world, the ability to speakmore than one language has become a significant asset. Bilingualism offers numerous benefits, both on a personal and professional level, and it is essential for fosteringcultural understanding and global communication.Firstly, being bilingual enhances cognitive abilities. Research has shown that bilingual individuals tend to have better problem-solving skills and can switch betweendifferent tasks more efficiently. This is because managing two languages requires the brain to be more flexible and adaptable, which translates into other areas of life.Secondly, bilingualism opens up a world of opportunities in the job market. As businesses operate on a global scale, there is a growing demand for individuals who can communicate with clients and colleagues from different linguistic backgrounds. Bilingual employees are often preferred for roles that involve international collaboration or customer service.Thirdly, the ability to speak another language fosters cultural awareness and appreciation. Language is a gateway to understanding the customs, traditions, and values ofdifferent societies. Bilingual individuals are more likely to be open-minded and empathetic, as they can engage with and appreciate the perspectives of others.Moreover, bilingualism promotes social cohesion within multicultural societies. As populations become more diverse, the ability to communicate in multiple languages can help bridge gaps between different cultural groups. It can also be a powerful tool for social integration, enabling immigrants to participate more fully in their new communities.In conclusion, bilingualism is a valuable skill in today's interconnected world. It not only improves cognitiveabilities and career prospects but also contributes to cultural understanding and social harmony. Encouraging bilingualism should be a priority for educational systems and communities alike.Task 3: Descriptive Essay - "A Day in the Life of a College Student"Answer:A typical day in the life of a college student is a blend of academic rigor, extracurricular engagement, and social interaction. It starts early with the morning alarm, often a jarring reminder of the day's tasks.The morning routine usually involves a quick breakfast, followed by a dash to the lecture halls. Classes vary from large, auditorium-style lectures to smaller, more intimate seminars. The lectures are a mix of note-taking, active listening, and occasional participation in discussions.Lunchtime is a social affair, often spent with friends in the campus cafeteria. It's a time to share stories, discuss class material, and plan for upcoming events. The variety of food options caters to diverse tastes and dietary needs, making it an enjoyable part of the day.Afternoons are often dedicated to studying or working on assignments. The library becomes a second home, a quietsanctuary for research and concentration. Some students prefer the more relaxed atmosphere of a coffee shop, where the hum of conversation and the aroma of freshly brewed coffee provide a backdrop for work.Club meetings and sports practices fill the late afternoon and early evening. These activities are a welcome break from academic work and a chance to pursue passions and interests outside the classroom. They also provide a platform for developing leadership and。

新编大学英语3作文答案

Unit 10 Reflections on LifeSample OneThe V irtues of Being Y oung and Being OldBeing young is a wonderful thing. We are always trying to find ways to keep ourselves young for as long as possible. When we compliment someone on their young appearance, they will feel proud and happy. Why is youth so preferred or favored? It's because youth is the bright and colorful scenery of life. Y oung people have glorious ideas and are full of dreams. They have energy, time and optimism. Y outh is a time for realizing dreams. Looking back on one's youth will bring the finest memories.Being old is also wonderful. The aged are respected by society. They have experience so people turn to them when they are in trouble or when they need advice. Old people are a source of knowledge and experience for the young. Although they dream less than before, they're more confident about themselves thanks to their knowledge and experience. Those who worked hard when young will be able to appreciate their achievements and keep good memories of their past.Being young, we must take every opportunity to improve ourselves so that when we are old, we will have no regrets about our youth.Sample TwoThe V irtues of Being Y oung and Being OldLife is strange and at different phases of your life you can do and enjoy different things. When you are young, you learn to understand the meaning of life. When you are old, you see life more clearly and enjoy what you have achieved before. There are many differences between young people and old people.Y oung people are equipped with a good memory and strong muscles to gain knowledge and experience. They can learn lots of things whenever they desire. Y outh is the most important part of a person's life. Y oung people are vigorous and energetic, though they tend to be impulsive. They face challenges with passion and are open to new things. They are unwilling to stay in the same place and always want to keepmoving. It won't take long for them to recover from disappointing failures, especially when they can get encouragement and advice from people around them. It seems natural for them to make great progress in their studies and work.The advantage of being old is that your strength lies in your knowledge and experience. Old people can do things quickly without too much energy or vigor and it won't take them too long to come up with a reasonable decision. Their most important virtue is that they can teach the young how to do things well or how to be successful, and how to avoid unnecessary loss or failure. Those who are concerned with young people are always respected by others. Y oung people hope they'll be able to know the world as the old do sooner or later.So if we are positive, we can always feel good about ourselves whether young or old.Unit 9 MusicThe Power of MusicMusic is the universal language of mankind. Music is everywhere. We can hear it inrestaurants, airports, railway stations, supermarkets, department stores, banks, hospitals, and many other public places. Music of all kinds is now available, and tapes and CDs are not very expensive.Music plays an important role in our everyday lives. Music can express emotions that are beyond speech and give us a better feeling about ourselves and about everything around us. It can change our attitudes towards many things.When we feel sad, music is moonlight in the gloomy night of life which can cheer us up; when we are tired and bored, music can make us relaxed, it has charms to soothe the savage breast, to soften rocks, or bend a knotted oak. When we are working or studying, music can provide us w ith a pleasant environment so that we can work or study more efficiently. Music can make people work faster and with more energy. The best, most beautiful, and most perfect way that we have of expressing a sweet concord of mind to each other is by music. Music can also lull the babies to sleep and can even make cows produce more milk. In a word, music is irresistible and life without music would be boring and monotonous.Unit 8 Nature or Nurture"Which Has Had More Influence on Y ou, Heredity or Environment?"Sample OneI both benefit and suffer much from heredity. A short stout figure, an introverted personality, and unimaginative but rational mind: all of these traits come from the genes passed on to me from my parents. But family, schools, and society work together to shape what I am today.My parents are both sport lovers, which makes me fond of physical exercises and turns my frame into a strong body. My honest parents punish me severely whenever I lie or make empty promises, thus I've learned the importance of personal integrity. At school I've learned to help others, to care for others and also to improve my reasoning and understanding skills. Learning about various positive and negative examples of behavior from the media and other sources of information, I have set my own moral standards regarding what to do and what not to do, what to like and what to hate.Environment can change a person completely no matter where he was born and what he genetically inherited from his parents.Sample TwoI always believe that a person can succeed in doing anything he feels interested in. Y our environment provides all sorts of opportunities and the things necessary for your personalpursuit and achievement.Which has had more influence on you, heredity or environment? This is a difficult question to answer.First, let us examine the influence of heredity. All my classmates call me "Fat Y u" because I am fat. My father is also fat, so I can't help connecting my fatness with his! Although I can't be absolutely sure that it comes from my father, I do think that I probably have a gene which he passed on to me and which determines my body build or shape.Aside from that gene, my father gave me many excellent qualities. For example, I think I am good at abstract thinking. My father is an engineer and he often tells me that he was very good at Math and Physics at middle school and college. So thanks to these genes of his I got into this university.However, I have many other characteristics, which may come from the environment I grew up in. For example, my father and mother are conservative and traditional. They lack a spirit of adventure and they have a hard time understanding many of the new things in China today. I, on the contrary, have the desire to explore and I hope I can become a pioneer of reform. I often have many original thoughts and ideas. All changes takingplace around me whet my appetite for exploration.In conclusion, I think both heredity and environment have influenced me greatly. Heredity created me, but environment has improved me.Unit 7 The Joy of TravelTraveling Is WonderfulIn school we always study hard and rarely have time for play and relaxation. During our vacation, we can do what we like. Some students go swimming, watch TV, go to the cinema, etc. But all I want to do is to travel.Traveling is interesting. Y ou can see a lot of fascinating things and you can learn about history. Three years ago, I went to Beijing. When I was in the Summer Palace, I walked through the famous Long Corridor, admiring the beautiful pictures drawn on it. In the Imperial Palace, I saw a lot of rare treasures I had never seen before. I went to the Great Wall as well as the Ming Tombs. After visiting these famous places, I can’t help feeling proud of my great motherland.I think it is important to travel to different countries, if possible, so that you can learn about different cultures and customs. It can widen your knowledge of the world. In addition to learning new things, you can also discover the beauty of nature by yourself. When you are on the top of a mountain, you can breathe fresh air, you can see green scenery below and you can hear the sounds of nature. It is a very wonderful feeling.Now I’d like to i nvite you to go on a trip with me. Can you refuse?I Enjoy TravelingI enjoy traveling. I even consider it as a part of my life. When winter vacation approaches, the question for me to ask is not whether I should travel but where I should travel.I find traveling can do me a lot of good when I look back on my trips. Traveling brings me knowledge and pleasure. It puts me in a good mood. When I go back to my studies, I work more happily.As for knowledge, traveling helps me learn a lot about local customs and it broadens my views. Three years ago, I went to the “European City” in Wuxi, where there are many models of European architecture. During that trip I learnedsomething about Europe. Sometimes, traveling can bring me unexpected pleasure, too. Last year,two friends and I went to a small town near the Tai Mountain. The fact that the town had beautiful scenery and low expenses made us overjoyed.Traveling is uplifting because it is relaxing and we can get rid of our anxiety and stress during the trip. If we travel together with our friends, we can improve our friendship through the shared experience. We can also meet new people and make new friends.In the future, I plan to do more traveling.Unit 6 AnimalsAnimals Should Be TrainedThere are a wide variety of animals in the world. And many of them are highly intelligent. So if we train some animals to work for human beings, we can save a lot of money and manpower.First, some kinds of animals can be trained based on their capacity to do certain types of jobs better than humans. For example, since dogs have a superior ability to track down odors, we can train them to find illegal drugs, earthquake victims, or even ancient tombs.Second, some animals can even lend us their hands. The monkey is a good example. Monkeys can be trained to learn to open doors, fetch tools, bring books, etc. So they can help those who cannot move about freely because of some physical problems. Monkeys make the lives of these people happier and more comfortable.Finally, in some cases, using animals not only saves money but also trouble. Using dolphins as underwater guards can be better and cheaper than any man-made tracking devices.In a word, animals should be trained to help humans. If we train animals in the proper way, both humans and animals can get along very well.Give Animals Their FreedomHumans and animals are both creatures of nature, so we are equal. We have no right to take advantage of them. However, many animals are now being trained to work for us. Monkeys are trained as servants, dogs as hunters and sniffers, and dolphins as soldiers.Beasts should be allowed to run freely over great distances and birds, fly freely in the blue sky. When they are in nature, they are active and able to live a normal life. But when they are kept in captivity, they are bored and frustrated.If we have the right to choose our fate, so do animals. So when we force them to serve us, they have no freedom and are like slaves. What’s more, a lot of animals lose their lives when they help humans. But most humans don't care about their lives at all. As we know, life belongs to us only once and therefore is priceless, and it is also true with animals. But we show no mercy to animals when they have done so much for us. We are cold-blooded creatures and we should criticize ourselves.In brief, we should treat animals in the same way we treat other people. Give animals their freedom.Unit 5 LanguageShould Learners Aim to Speak English with a Native-Speaker Pronunciation?Sample OneIn my opinion, there is no point in aiming to speak English with a native-speaker pronunciation. For most people, it is a waste of time.First, language is a tool for communication among human beings. If people we meet understand what we are saying, that is all that is necessary. We do not need to imitate native speaker's pronunciation. In any case, there are many types of accents, so which one should we choose to imitate?Second, the most important thing is how well we organize what we want to express. Our ideas should be clear and easy to understand. To do so, we should be able to use right words and correct grammar.Third, given the fact that we live in China, it seems a little bit pointless for us to try desperately hard to get rid of our national accent in order to speak BBC English.Finally, each of us has our own style when we speak. If we can give free rein to personal style, the English-speaking world will become more colorful and more interesting.In a word, I prefer to speak with my characteristic and recognizable pronunciation, so long as listeners can understand me.Sample TwoY es, I think it is important to aim for native-speaker pronunciation. First of all, I think perfection is always a good goal in any aspect of language-learning. We aim for perfect grammar, so why not perfect pronunciation?Second, the purpose of learning a language is to communicate with native-speakers or people from other parts of the world. The better my pronunciation is, the more easily they will be able to understand me. And I want people to understand me without any difficulty.Third, English is now an international language and I would like to be part of that community. If my pronunciation is like a native-speaker's, I will blend into the community more naturally. I'll feel pleased if I am taken for a native-speaker. Even if I can't speak so well, I don't like to spoil the language by terrible pronunciation.So learners should aim to speak English with a native-speaker pronunciation.Unit 4 Career PlanningApplication LetterSample OneMay 5, _____Apartment 2E3465 Boulevard EastDallas, TX 75221Fidelity National BankP.O.

Y our writing must cover the following two points:1）disadvantages of pessimism2）way(s) of overcoming pessimismSample OneIt is believed that pessimism often leads to hopelessness, sickness and failure, while optimism usually brings happiness, good health and success. Pessimists also make those around them very miserable. Therefore, pessimists should change their way of thinking and overcome the negative aspects of their personalities. Here are a few tips for them:1. Try to smile more often. A smile has great power. It can chase sadness away. It will make you and other people feel happy. And it may even make things easier and better. Smiling in the morning makes a good beginning for the day. A smile is the most important sign of optimism.2. Build up your self-confidence. Try to discover as many of your personal strengths as you can. Then write them all down. Read them several times when you are getting ready to do something or when you are facing difficulties. Y our list will help you see your abilities.3. Change your way of thinking. Don't always think that things will go wrong or that if they do there will be terrible results. Instead, convince yourself that things will improve and that you can work hard to help improve them. If you fail, think about what you have learned from the failure. If you succeed, praise yourself. Don't be too modest! There is nothing more encouraging than self-praise.Try your best to become an optimist.Sample TwoAre you an optimist or a pessimist? If you're a pessimist, here is some advice for you.As everyone knows, pessimism is harmful to people. It makes you unhappy and unhealthy, and even brings depression, loneliness and failure. Pessimists tend to suffer more failures and setbacks because they don't believe they can succeed and thus don't struggle for it. Optimism, by contrast, can make you happy, healthy and successful. So it is good for you to change yourself from a pessimist to an optimist.Here are some suggestions for you to become an optimist:1. Remember that everyone experiences failures and disappointments. So when you fail, don't blame yourself too much. It may not be your fault.2. When you fail in something, profit from the failure as a learning experience instead of getting depressed. And next time, you can make your plans to be more successful.3. When you fail, don't be discouraged. Try again. Don't let negative thoughts hold you back. Just give yourself another chance. So never give up just because you failed.Pessimism is harmful, but it can be changed. Trust yourself and try to adopt an optimistic attitude, and then you will be a winner in life more often.。
