Audiovisual SupplementWatch the movie clip and answer the following questions.Script:Narrator: A German factory builds one of the world‘s most famous cars. The 911 is the icon of the sports car industry. It‘s the shape, it‘s the engine in the back, it‘s the feel it gives you, it‘s the emotion. The factory runs like a precision machine, building hundreds of engines a day. The product and our manufacturing process are one unit, and that‘s our secret of success. Automation, technology and skilled human labor combine to build 16 versions of the Porsche 911, including the 911 GT3.Questions:1. Where is the engine of the 911?In the back of the car.2. What‘s the secret of success of that factory?The product and their manufacturing process are one unit. Automation, technology and skilled human labor combine to build the Porsche 911. And the factory runs like a precision machine.II. Cultural Background1. Car culture has been a major niche lifestyle in America.2. In the 1950s, the post-war boom produced a generation of teenagers with enough income to buy their own cars. These cars became so much more than just modes of transportation. They were reflections of a lifestyle. The ability to tune and soup-up muscle cars gave average Joes the opportunity to show off their power, their speed and their style in a way that personified the car as character.3. Like Granny in Jan and Dean's 1964 song ―The Little Old Lady from Pasadena,‖ we can't keep our foot off the accelerator.4. We are crazy about our cars —and always have been. ―The American,‖William Faulkner lamented in 1948, ―really loves nothing but his automobile.‖5. We dream of cars as we dream of lovers.6. Americans have always cherished personal freedom and mobility, rugged individualism and masculine force.Section Two Global ReadingI．Text AnalysisMain Idea―Out of Step‖ is an exposition that presents the absurdity of the Americans‘ dependence on cars. The Americans, being so accustomed to using cars, have almost forgotten the existence of their legs. Wherever they go, they go in their cars. As a result, pedestrian facilities are neglected in city planning or rejected by the inhabitants.II. Structural AnalysisParagraph 1-6 The writer introduces his idea with an anecdote.Paragraphs 7-13 In this part, the author presents the fact that the Americans are habituated to using cars for everything. Paragraphs 14-20 In this part, the author explains that pedestrian facilities are neglected or discarded.Section Three Detailed ReadingI.Text 1Out of StepBill Bryson1After living in England for 20 years, my wife and I decided to move back to the United States. We wanted to live in a town small enough that we could walk to the business district, and settled on Hanover, N.H., a typical New England town —pleasant, sedate and compact. It has a broad central green surrounded by the venerable buildings of Dartmouth College, an old-fashioned Main Street and leafy residential neighborhoods.2It is, in short, an agreeable, easy place to go about one‘s business on foot, and yet as far as I can tell, virtually no one does.3Nearly every day, I walk to the post office or library or bookstore, and sometimes, if I am feeling particularly debonair, I stop at Rosey Jekes Caféfor a cappuccino. Occasionally, in the evenings, my wife and I stroll up to the Nugget Theatre for a movie or to Murphy‘s on the Green for a beer, I wouldn‘t dream of going to any of these places by car. People have gotten used to my eccentric behavior, but in the early days acquaintances would often pull up to the curb and ask if I wanted a ride.4―I‘m going your way,‖ they would insist when I politely declined. ―Really, it‘s no bother.‖5―Honestly, I enjoy walking.‖6―Well, if you‘re sure,‖ they would say and depart reluctantly, even guiltily, as if leaving the scene of an accident without giving their name.7In the United States we have become so habituated to using the car for everything that it doesn‘t occur to us to unfurl our legs and see what those lower limbs can do. We have reached an age where college students expect to drive between classes, where parents will drive three blocks to pick up their children from a friend‘s house, where the letter carrier takes his van up and down every driveway on a street.8We will go through the most extraordinary contortions to save ourselves from walking. Sometimes it‘s almost ludicrous. The other day I was waiting to bring home one of my children from a piano lesson when a car stopped outside a post office, and a man about my age popped out and dashed inside. He was in the post office for about three or four minutes, and then came out, got in the car and drove exactly 16 feet (I had nothing better to do, so I paced it off) to the general store6 next door.9And the thing is, this man looked really fit. I‘m sure he jogs extravagant distances and plays squash and does all kinds of healthful things, but I am just as sure that he drives to each of these undertakings.10An acquaintance of ours was complaining the other day about the difficulty of finding a place to park outside the local gymnasium. She goes there several times a week to walk on a treadmill. The gymnasium is, at most, a six-minute walk from her front door.11I asked her why she didn‘t walk to the gym and do six minutes less on the treadmill.12She looked at me as if I were tragically simple-minded and said, ―But I have a program for the treadmill. It records my distance and speed and calorie burn rate, and I can adjust it for degree of difficulty.‖13I confess it had not occurred to me how thoughtlessly deficient nature is in this regard.14According to a concerned and faintly horrified 1997 editorial in the Boston Globe, the United States spent less than one percent of its transportation budget on facilities for pedestrians. Actually, I‘m surprised it was that much. Go to almost any suburb developed in the last 30 years, and you will not find a sidewalk anywhere. Often you won‘t find a single pedestrian crossing.15I had this brought home to me one summer when we were driving across Maine and stopped for coffee in one of those endless zones of shopping malls, motels, gas stations and fast-food places. I noticed there was a bookstore across the street, so I decided to skip coffee and head over.16Although the bookshop was no more than 70 or 80 feet away, I discovered that there was no way to cross on foot without dodging over six lanes of swiftly moving traffic. In the end, I had to get in our car and drive across.17At the time, it seemed ridiculous and exasperating, but afterward I realized that I was possibly the only person ever to have entertained the notion of negotiating that intersection on foot.18The fact is, we not only don‘t walk anywhere anymore in this country, we won‘t walk anywhere, and woe to anyone who tries to make us, as the city of Laconia, N.H., discovered. In the early 1970s, Laconia spent millions on a comprehensive urban renewal project, which included building a pedestrian mall to make shopping more pleasant. Esthetically it was a triumph —urban planners came from all over to coo and take photos--but commercially it was a disaster. Forced to walk onewhole block from a parking garage, shoppers abandoned downtown Laconia for suburban malls.19In 1994 Laconia dug up its pretty paving blocks, took away the tubs of geraniums and decorative trees, and brought back the cars. Now people can park right in front of the stores again, and downtown Laconia thrives anew.20And if that isn‘t sad. I don‘t know what is.II. Questions1)What kind of town is it? (Paragraph 1)It is a small, pleasant and agreeable town. The inhabitants are friendly and willing to help.But although the town is compact, few people go about on foot.2)What is considered the author‘s ―eccentric behavior‖? (Paragraph 3)Instead of riding a car, the author walks around the city, doing his shopping, going to themovies or visiting the café or bar. To people who are used to going everywhere in a car, he is an eccentric.3)Why would drivers ―depart reluctantly, even guiltily‖when their offer was declined?(Paragraphs 3-6)With cars becoming the basic essentials of their life, people are so habituated to using the car for everything. The scene of somebody walking around seemed so unusual to them that they would naturally show their concern to him. When their offer to give him a ride was declined, they were sorry for not being able to help him out.4) Why did the author say ―Actually, I‘m surprised it was that much‖? (Paragraph 14)When the author found that the newly planned suburbs totally overlooked pedestrian needs, he assumed there was no budget for pedestrian facilities at all. So he says he was surprised to learn that there actually was less than one percent of budget on it. Here the author writes with a touch of irony.5) Why did Laconia change its downtown pedestrian mall to one with parking lots? (Paragraphs18-19)Although the pedestrian mall was well decorated, shoppers were unwilling to walk to the stores from a parking garage. As a result, it was a commercial failure. The government had to compromise with the public preference.Class ActivityGroup discussion: What does the title mean?With the use of this title, the writer seems to suggest1. people no longer walk in America;2. the few people who do walk seem to be old-fashioned and ―eccentric‖.III. Words and ExpressionsParagraphs 1-6sedate a. calm, serious and formale.g. She is a sedate old lady; she is caring but never talks much.The fight against a nuclear power station site has transformed a normally sedate town into a battlefield.v. make calm or sleepy, esp. with a druge.g. The patient was heavily sedated and resting quietly in bed.Derivation: sedately (ad.), sedation (n.), sedative (a., n.)eccentric a.(of people or behavior) unconventional and slightly strangee.g. The old gentleman, who lived alone all his life, was said to have some eccentric habits.n. a person of unconventional and slightly strange views or behaviore.g. The old gentleman enjoyed a colorful reputation as an engaging eccentric.curb n.

大学英语自学教程(上册)课后答案及释义UNIT3

第一部分　Text　A【课文译文】大　西　洋大西洋是将欧洲和美洲分隔开的海洋之一。

它使南北美洲长达几个世纪之久都未被人发现。

人们对大西洋有许多误解，这使得早期的海员不愿意远航驶入大西洋。

一种想法是大西洋远抵“世界的边缘”，海员们担心他们会一直航行到地球边上掉落下去。

另一个想法是在赤道处，大西洋的海水是滚烫的。

大西洋的面积只是太平洋的一半，但也非常辽阔。

哥伦布穿越过的地方宽达4000多英里(6000公里)。

即使最窄的地方宽度也有大约2000英里(3200公里)，这是一片位于南美洲最东端与非洲最西端之间的水域。

大西洋有两点非同寻常。

其一是在如此辽阔的海洋里少有岛屿。

另外，大西洋是世界上含盐量最高的海洋。

大西洋海水量很大，人们无法想像到底有多少水。

但如果假设不再有降雨和河水注入，则需4000年大西洋才会干涸。

大西洋平均水深有2英里(3.2公里)多一点，但有些地方要深得多。

最深处在波多黎各岛附近，深达30246英尺——约6英里(9.6公里)。

世界上最长的山脉之一从大西洋海底隆起，这条山脉沿海底中部向南北延伸，几座山峰露出海面，形成岛屿。

亚速尔群岛就是大西洋中部山脉露出水面的几座山峰。

佛罗里达州向东几百英里有一处海域叫马尾藻海，这里由于很少刮风，海面很平静。

在使用帆船的时代，船员们担心他们会因无风而在此处无法航行。

有时他们确实会遇到这种情况。

海流有时被称作“海洋中的河流”。

大西洋有一条这种“河流”，叫做墨西哥湾流，这是一股暖水流；另外一条是拉布拉多海流——这是来自北冰洋的冷水流。

洋流对流域附近大陆的气候有影响。

大西洋为两岸的人们提供了丰富的食物。

大浅滩是最著名的捕鱼区之一，位于纽芬兰附近。

今天，大西洋是一条重要的航路，这条航路并不总是风平浪静，毫无危险。

暴风雨会掠过洋面，堆起大浪。

从北冰洋漂来的冰山也会横穿航道。

我们现在有快捷的旅行方式，这个大洋似乎也变小了。

哥伦布横越大西洋用了两个多月的时间，一艘现代化快轮不到4天就可完成这一航程，而乘飞机从纽约到伦敦只用8小时，从南美到非洲只用4小时。

paraII: It works in reverse, too, for the inanimate portion of Earth is shaped and molded by life.
The enormous ocean reefs are formed by coral.
The nature of the atmosphere has been changed by plant activity
•etween 2 billion and 3 billion years ago, portions of the surface water, bathed by the energetic radiation from the sun, developed complicated compounds in organization sufficiently versatile to qualily as what we call "life". Life forms have become more complex and more various ever since.
Cells in those organs that suffer constant wear and tear—as in the skin or in the intestinal lining—grow and multiply all life long. Other cells, not so exposed, as in nerve and muscle, do not multiply at all in the adult, under any circumstances. Still other organs, ordinarily quiescent, as liver and bone, stand ready to grow if that is necessary to replace damage. When the proper repairs are made, growth stops.

My Stroke of LuckShe keeps saving my life. Better still, she keeps giving me reasons to live.Kirk Douglas1It happened on the way home from a meeting in Fillmore, 40 miles north of Los Angeles.My friend Noel Blanc, a helicopter pilot, offered to give me a ride back to the city. We were50 feet in the air when we collided with a small plane flown by a flight instructor and hisyoung student. Noel and I survived, but the men in the plane died instantly.2I don’t remember being pulled from the wreckage or the ambulance trip to a nearby hospital. But I do remember my wife, Anne, staring down at me on my gurney. After hearing of the accident, Anne took a helicopter to reach me. She insisted on moving me to our neighborhood hospital in L.A., Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. Another helicopter ride. Just what I needed!3But Anne was right. In L.A. I could get the best care for my spinal injury and start seeing psychiatrists for my very real “survivor’s guilt”1. Anne has such good judgment and intuition, she rarely makes a wrong decision. After all, she first saved my life in 1958, when she refused to let me join film producer Mike Todd on his fatal flight. She saved me again after my stroke in 1995, when I became depressed and suicidal.24Anne’s secret is that she learns from life, then moves on. Born in Hanover, Germany, she fled to Belgium to escape fascism as a teenager. She then moved to Paris, surviving the occupation by putting her linguistic ability to work. Fluent in French, English, Italian and her native German, she supported herself by placing German subtitles on French films.5We met in 1953 when I was in Paris to star in Act of Love. I was looking for an assistant, and Anne Buydens showed up at my dressing room for an interview. She wore a blue suit with a white collar, and had very delicate wrists and ankles. Quite striking. I explained the position and she politely said, “I don’t think this job’s right for me.” I was miffed. Here I was, an American movie star. I expected her to be eager for the job.6She did accept the position, but only on a temporary basis. And she eventually agreed to go out with me, which had been my first thought anyhow. But that took some doing on my part too. After our first meeting, I called to invite her to supper at Tour d’Argent, one of Paris’s best restaurants, with fantastic views of the Seine. “No,” she said, “I’m tired. I think I’ll just make myself some eggs and go to bed.” My thought then was, to hell with her.37But it was just that poignant style that made me fall in love. During the following months, while I was filming Ulysses7 in Italy, Anne often met up with me. In 1954, when our next jobs threatened to keep us apart for months at a time, I realized I didn’t want to lose her and asked her to marry me. We slipped away to Las Vegas to tie the knot.48Forty-seven years of marriage is quite a journey. Anne has kept me going through some of the hardest times, which hasn’t always been easy, given that I’m sometimes an actor wrapped up in his ego. After the crash, I couldn’t sit without extreme pain. When we went out, Anne would put me in the rear of the station wagon, where I could stretch out. At dinner with friends, she’d set a place for me as if it were the most natural thing in the world to eat lying on the couch. She consoled me during my survivor’s anguish, but what she wouldn’t tolerate — and here’s the important thing — was me feeling sorry for myself.9Then again, I’ve never seen her feel sorry for herself either. Thirty years ago Anne underwent diagnostic surgery after finding a lump in her breast. Her doctor reported the tumor was malignant, and it was spreading. He encouraged me to authorize him to remove Anne’s breast then and there. I did.10After, I felt guilty having made that choice while she lay unconscious. Anne assured me that I’d done the right thing. She dealt with the cancer, from which she has fully recovered, by helping others —talking to groups about her experiences, and establishing Research for Women’s Cancers with six fellow survivors. Over the years they’ve raised $9 million to help finance a research facility at Cedars-Sinai. Anne recently read an article about the deplorable state of school playgrounds in L.A., and started a program to rebuild and beautify them.11That’s my wife’s method, finding ways her life can help others. I’ve been the beneficiary of that practice many times.5 The afternoon I had my stroke, Anne was playing bridge with Barbara Sonata, and I was home getting a manicure. When my speech started to slur, the manicurist, a former nurse, immediately phoned Anne. My wife was home within ten minutes and had me at the hospital within an hour.12 Although she was my rescuer, Anne, who believes in tough love, wasn’t about to let mejust lie around.6During my recovery, she kicked me out of bed each morning to get me working with my speech therapist. She taught me exercises that helped her when she was learning to speak English, like putting a /d/ before a /j/ to say “just.”My therapist was impressed. One day, feeling proud of my progress, I said, “I think as a treat, tomorrow I’d like to have breakfast in bed.”13 Anne looked at me and said, “You’d like breakfast in bed? I think you’d better sleep in thekitchen!” The most difficult consequence of my stroke was the depression I suffered. While I was going through it, Anne endured my moods but didn’t allow me to complain.14 In the midst of writing my latest book, My Stroke of Luck, I had an epiphany, inspired bymy wife. How to handle a stroke is how to handle life. The world is filled with people who have suffered one misfortune or another. What sets the survivors apart from the others is the willingness to move on, and to help others move on too.7 Anne has been doing that for as long as I’ve known her.Paragraphs 1-2Words and Expressions1. offerv. express willingness (to do sth.)e.g. I don’t need any help, but it was nice of you to offer.The volunteers offered to go where there needed village teachers.n. an expression of readiness to do sth. or to give sth.; an amount of money one is willing topay for sth.e.g. She readily accepted his offer to give her a ride home.Synonym:propose, tenderCollocation:on offer for sale at a reduced price 正出售中under offer having a prospective buyer who has made an offer 已有人出价了2. collide vi. hit each other accidentallye.g. The motorbike and the bus collided at the corner of the street.Synonym:bump into, crash intoCollocation:collide with sb. / sth.e.g. The two ships collided with each other in the heavy storm.Derivation:collision n.3. instantly ad. immediately, at oncee.g. He instantly felt that he was cheated by the girl whom he deeply loved.Seeing the beautiful picture, she bought it instantly.Derivation:instant a.Synonym:directly, instantaneously, promptlyAntonym:graduallyParagraphs 3-4Words and Expressions4. intuition n. the power of knowing sth. without reasoninge.g. Women are apt to believe in their intuition in love.Derivation:intuitive a.intuitively a.Comparison:insight n. ability to see into the true natureperception n. ability to see, hear or understandinstinct n. natural feeling that makes one choose to act in a particular way, synonym of intuition5. depressed a. sad or gloomye.g. Quite a lot of young people are very depressed about the high housing prices.Derivation:depress vt.depression n.depressing a.Synonym:dispirited, downhearted6. suicidal a. with a tendency to commit suicidee.g. People in a suicidal state had better go to seek professional help from counselors.suicide n.Collocation:suicidal attemptsuicidal behavior7. occupation n. the action, state, or period of occupying or being occupied by military forcee.g. Hong Kong had ever been under English occupation for more than 100 years.Synonym:invasion, takeoverCollocation:occupation rate占用率Sentences1. survivor’s guilt (Paragraph 3)Explanation: The author felt guilty because he survived while the other men on the plane didn’t.2.
