Sometimes we have difficulty knowing where to start. We want that new body, or want to be healthy and have more energy, but we just do not know what the first step is. In addition, the road to our goals is sometimes a rocky one. It is difficult to transgress and sometimes we just want to give up. We sometimes forget that our current situation did not occur overnight and so changing it will not happen overnight either. It will take time and hard work. Therefore, I suggest that you should set only one goal at a time.When you try to take on too much at once, you can become overwhelmed quickly. Create a list and take one goal at a time. Once you achieve that goal, back to your list to mark it off, and move to the next one. The act of achieving goals individually will give you a greater sense of accomplishment. You can even break the one goal into smaller parts. This gives you motivation and success more often than waiting for days or months to achieve a larger goal.B. English to Chinese1> Translate the following paragraph into Chinese.每位求职者都需要花点时间远离日常繁忙的工作,仔细思量你的事业,为未来制定计划.无论你喜欢现在的工作和老板或是感到受缚于目前工作,职业规划能够帮助你.职业规划被视作建立连接目前工作/职业和未来工作/职业的桥梁,没有这座桥,你会跌跌撞撞或迷失方向；但有了这座桥,就有了安全的保证和明确的方向.2> Read the passage carefully and translate the underlined sentences into Chinese.〔1〕一位权威科学家警告说,机器人在家庭、工作场所和战争中的兴起必须受到伦理规X的监督和控制,以此限定机器人在一些敏感情境中的运用,比如看小孩、照顾老人以与作战等情境.〔2〕谢菲尔德大学的人工智能专家诺埃尔·夏基教授警告说,机器人正被引入潜在的敏感情境中,这可能会导致〔被服务者〕与世隔绝的状态,因为人们在给机器人设定指令后,往往很长时间不再问津.〔3〕第一条规定机器人不得伤害人类；第二条规定机器人必须服从人类的命令,但不得违反第一条定律；第三条规定机器人应尽量保护自己,但不得违反前两条定律.〔4〕但是20世纪末提出的有关具有高度人工智能的机器人将崛起的预言并未实现,不过机器人科学家已赋予了听命于他们的机器以准智能的特征,比如简单的言语识别、情绪表达以与面部识别等能力.〔5〕目前机器人的智力水平连愚蠢都算不上.如果我哪怕认为他们会在智力上高出人类一等,我都不会有这些担忧了.

Language points1.Even a modest space voyage, Dyson calculated, would set the average family back 1,500 years in wages. <P ara.1>According to Dyson’s calculation, even a modest and common space voyage would cost the average family wages of about 1,500 years.set back: cost <a person> specific amounte.g. My new car set me back $3000.2.The difference reflected the relative difficulty of space travel, but also the limitations of big government programs to do things on the cheap.<Para.1>The cost difference not only has showed space travel is much more difficult than the Mayflower’s voyage in 1620 and the westward journey of the Mormons in 1840s, but also prove d that government needs to reduce its spending on big and expensive programs and turn its attention to the programs that cost less money.3.Nothing has happened in the past 40 years to suggest that NASA has come any closer to the commercial sweet spot of the Colonial settlers. <P ara.2> In the past 40 years, nothing has shown that NASA’s has found its best solution to which it could start and develop its business just like early colonial settlers who found their place, Massachusetts, to settle down and made their living move on based on their settlement.A sweet spot is a place, often numerical as opposed to physical, where a combination of factors suggests a particularly suitable solution. In the context of a racquet, bat or similar sporting instrument, sweet spot is often believed to be the same as the center of percussion. In this context, sweet spot means a financially profitable situation. Colonial settlers found this sweet spot while NASA didn’t come close.4.The commission headed by Lockheed Martin chairman Norm Augustine that has spent much of the past year deliberating on NASA’s human spaceflight program… <Para.2>deliberate on: to consider /discuss or negotiate仔细研究,审议e.g. We had no time to deliberate on the problem.5....even though ending this program would send NASA’s international partners into apoplexy. <P ara.2>…even though ending the ISS program would make NASA’s international partners feel very angry.The apoplexy is an outdated medical term, which can be used to mean "bleeding〞. It can be used non-medically to mean a state of extreme rage or excitement.6.More embarrassing, with NASA’s space shuttle due to be mothballed in 2010, and its cheaper replacement, the Orion capsule, not due to fly until 2012, the partners face a two year gap in which they will have to rely on Russia’s Soyuz ships to commute to the space station.<Para.2> To NASA’s embarrassment, they had to stop using their shuttle in 2010 and its cheaper replacement, the Orion capsule cannot fly until 2012, so there will be a two year gap between 2010 and 2012, in which NASA’s international partners have to depend on Russia’s ship to come and go to the space station.mothball: to decide not to use or develop something, for a period of time, especially a piece of equipment or a plan 封存；搁置不用If someone in authority mothballs a plan, factory, or piece of equipment, they decide to stop developing or using it, perhaps temporarily.7.The shortfall may force NASA to open up its space-exploration program to commercial operators to a degree that’s unprecedented in its history.<Para.3> The shortage or lack of money may force NASA to get commercial operators involved in its space-exploration program to a degree that has never happened before.shortfall:n. 缺口；差额；亏空If there is a shortfall in something, there is less of it than you need.8.The move could create opportunities for the modern equivalents of Young and Bradford—entrepreneurs willing to risk their livelihoods on making the exploration of space affordable by not only designing and building ships for3 / 434NASA, but also by providing shuttle services to deliver NASA astronauts or equipment to their targets. <Para.3>The move—NASA’s opening up its space program to commercial or private sectors— could create opportunities for upcoming modern entrepreneurs like Young and Bradford in the early times. They are willing to take a risk in spending much money, effort and even their lives on space exploration in order to get it started and moved on by not only designing and building ships for NASA, but also by providing shuttle services to deliver NASA astronauts or equipment to meet NASA’s targets. 9.In the past, NASA has been deeply involved in managing design and development work by outside contractors, a messy process that made the shuttle expensive and unsafe, rather than cheap and safe. Now the agency is under pressure to step back and buy services wholesale from private firms.<Para.3>In the past, NASA has spent much effort and time asking outside contractors to design and develop space shuttles, which is a very complicated process making the space shuttle expensive and unsafe rather than cheap and safe. Now due to financial pressure, the agency has stepped back to entrust private firms to do all the business for NASA.10."We’re talking about a movement from where the government has been the prime contractor, managing situationswith a very hands-on role, to a situation where they are just a customer,〞says Larry Williams. <Para.3> We are talking about the movement —NASA has shifted it role from a major contractor who needs to do every detailed and practical work by itself to a customer who buys services wholesale from private firms.11.The next step is to work out similar deals with private firms to send astronauts aloft. <Para.5> The next step is toenable the private firms to send astronauts to outer space just like cargo that can be delivered.aloft:adj./adv.high in the air 在空中高处Something that is aloft is in the air or off the ground.12.To do that, NASA will have to relinquish some of its oversight of crew safety. This isn’t entirely without precedent.<Para.5> In order to let private firms send astronauts into space, NASA will have to give uptheir responsibility of regulating crew safety. This has happened before.relinquish:vt.to stop having something, especially when this happens unwillinglyIf you relinquish something such as power or control, you give it up.oversight: the state of being in charge of somebody/something 负责；照管13.Space X claims it could adapt its cargo-carrying spaceship for ferrying a human crew in less than three years, once itgets the green light. <Para.6> Space X claims it could make some change to its spaceship so that it could send people to outer space in less than three years, once it gets permission.14.If Virgin and other commercial firms can deliver, Earth orbit will be far more accessible than it’s ever been before.Although it would still be a stretch for all but the wealthiest people, costs could come down low enough to jump-start markets for tourism. <Para.8> If commercial firms like Virgin Galactic can deliver man to Earth orbit, then Earth orbit would be much easier to get to than ever before. It would be open to nobody but the wealthiest people since only the rich can afford the high price,but the cost could be reduced so that it would become a rising market for tourism.15.The big sticking point, however, will be safety. Even though NASA holds the safety of its crew paramount, it stillhasn’t been able to escape the occasional disaster, like the loss of the Columbia shuttle and its crew in 2003. <Para.8> The key point is still the consideration of safety of its crew. Even though NASA regards the safety of its crew as the most important thing, it still hasn’t been able to avoid the occasional disaster, such as the loss of the Space shuttle, Columbia andits 7 crew members in 2003.16.…the space shuttle is unreliable, in part, because its all-purpose design is overly complex. NASA needs a biggerrocket capable of sending a crew, with equipment and supplies for a long-duration trip, beyond the tether of Earth’s gravity. <Para.9>… the space shuttle is unreliable partly because its space shuttle is designed for all- around purposes, such as carryingcargo or people, etc. And the process of design is extremely complex. NASA needs a bigger rocket capable of sending a crew, with equipment and supplies for a longer trip, beyond the limitation or influence of Earth’s gravity.overly: too/ extremely17.It might be able to entice commercial firms to undertake their own big rockets if there were some payoff down theroad. <Para.9> Private firms might be attracted to build their own rockets to deliver astronauts to outer space if they could get profits..payoff:n. return; reward; payment18.Many seemingly ridiculous ideas for generating energy and beaming it back to Earth now seem much less so, thanksto the climate crisis. <Para.9> The ideas of generating energy and shining it back to earth, which used to sound very funny, but now seems much possible and necessary due to the consideration of the climate crisis.19.…the challenge of sending people safely into deep space and back for a profit is big enough to give any entrepreneurpause. <Para.10> … the challenge for private services to send people safely into deep space and back for making profits is so big that any entrepreneur would hesitate before they take their steps.give sb./sth. pause:使踌躇,使犹豫This finding should give pause to it. 这个发现令人深思.His recent behavior has given her pause about their relationship.他最近的行为让她对他们的关系产生了犹豫.20.The Industrial Revolution didn’t take off until the railways arrived. <Para.11>Here it means that the private sector will play an important role and do lots of work in deep space only if NASA gets it started.III. Key to the exercises1. Reading comprehension<1> In early times there was an essay comparing space travel to the colonization, but nothing can keep Dyson from makingameticulous effort to quantify and compare the costs of these vastly different ventures.<2>By presenting the relationship between FedEx and the U.S. Postal service, the writer wants to showthat NASA actually canpay private firms, like Space X to design and develop space program.<3>NASA opened up its space exploration program to commercial operators because NASA lacksfunding to keep its humanspaceflight program moving on and operating. So, it is the shortfall that forces NASA to open up its space-exploration program to commercial operators.<4>There are two steps that NASA is going to take after it begins working with smaller companies.The first is to get cargodelivered to space; the next step is to work out similar deals with private firms to send astronauts aloft.<5>Give your own comments.2.

The utilitarian doctrine is, that happiness is desirable, and the only thing desirable, as an end; all other things being only desirable as means to that end.<Para. 1>The utilitarian principle is that happiness is worth obtaining and is the only thing worth obtaining as a purpose; all other things being so only as a way to obtain happiness.2.What ought to be required of this doctrine, what conditions is it requisite that the doctrine should fulfill, to make good its claim to be believed?<Para. 1>What requirements should this principle meet, what are the necessary conditions this principle should accomplish to make its claim good for people to believe?requisite a. required by circumstances or necessary for successe.g. Have you the requisite visa to enter Canada?have/lack the requisite capital to start a business3.In like manner, I apprehend, the sole evidence it is possible to produce that anything is desirable, is that people do actually desire it.<Para. 2>Likewise, I think the only evidence we can possibly offer to prove anything to be desirable is that people do actually desire it.apprehend v. grasp the meaning of <sb./sth.>; understande.g. Do I apprehend you aright, i.e. Do you mean what I think you mean?sole a. one and only; singlee.g. the sole cause of the accidentthe sole survivor of the crash4.If the end which the utilitarian doctrine proposes to itself were not, in theory and in practice, acknowledged to be an end, nothing could ever convince any person that it was so.<Para. 1>If the purpose which the utilitarian doctrine itself intends to fulfillwere not accepted to be a purpose both in theory and in practice, then nothing could ever make anyone believe that it was so.5. No reason can be given why the general happiness is desirable, except that each person, so far as he believes it to be attainable, desires his own happiness.<Para. 2>We can give no reason why the general happiness is desirable except that each person desires his own happiness as long as he believes that it can be achieved.attainable a. that can be attainede.g. These objectives are certainly attainable.6.This, however, being a fact, we have not only all the proof which the case admits of, but all which it is possible to require, that happiness is a good, that each person’s happiness is a good to that person, and the general happiness, therefore, a good to the aggregate of all persons.<Para. 2>However, it is a fact that the general happiness is desirable, and we have not only all the evidence that the case agrees with, but all the evidence that it is likely to need,to prove that happiness is a benefit, that each person’s happiness is a benefit to that person, and the general happiness, therefore, a benefit to all persons as a whole.aggregate n. total amount; mass or amount brought togethere.g. the complete aggregate of unemployment figures7.Now it is palpable that they do desire things which, in common language, are decidedly distinguished from happiness. <Para. 3>Now it is obvious that people do desire things which, in everyday words, are definitely different from happiness. palpable a. clear to the mind; obviouse.g. a palpable lie, errordistinguish v. recognize the difference between <people or things>e.g. People who cannot distinguish between colours are said to be colour-blind.The twins are so alike that no one can distinguish one from the other.8.They desire, for example, virtue, and the absence of vice, no less really than pleasure and the absence of pain.<Para.3>For example, they want to have virtue and avoid vice as much as they want to have pleasure and avoid pain.vice:n. evil or unprincipled conduct; wickednesse.g. Greed is a terrible vice.9.The desire of virtue is not as universal, but it is as authentic a fact, as the desire of happiness. <Para. 3>Although the7 / 43。

The influence of music on society can be clearly seen from modern history. Music helped Thomas Jefferson write the Declaration of Independence. When he could not figure out the right wording for a certain part, he would play his violin to help him. The music helped him get the words from his brain onto the paper. Albert Einstein is recognized as one of the smartest men who has ever lived. A little known fact about Einstein is that when he was young he did extremely poor in school. His grade school teachers told his parents to take him out of school because he was "too stupid to learn" and it would be a waste of resources for the school to invest time and energy in his education. The school suggested that his parents get Albert an easy, manual labor job as soon as they could. His mother did not think that Albert was "stupid". Instead of following the school's advice, Albert's parents bought him a violin. Albert became good at the violin. Music was the key that helped Albert Einstein become one of the smartest men who has ever lived. Einstein himself says that the reason he was so smart is because he played the violin. He loved the music of Mozart and Bach the most. A friend of Einstein, G.J. Withrow, said that the way Einstein figured out his problems and equations was by improvising on the violin.

Unit 1 对F的赞美1今年将有好几万的十八岁青年毕业，他们都将被授予毫无意义的文凭。
这些文凭看上去跟颁发给比他们幸运的同班同学的文凭没什么两样。
只有当雇主发现这些毕业生是半文盲时，文凭的效力才会被质疑。
2最后，少数幸运者会进入教育维修车间——成人识字课程，我教的一门关于基础语法和写作的课程就属于这种性质。
在教育维修车间里，高中毕业生和高中辍学生将学习他们本该在学校就学好的技能，以获得同等学力毕业证书。
他们还将发现他们被我们的教育体系欺骗了。
3在我教课的过程中，我对我们的学校教育深有了解。
在每学期开始的时候，我会让我的学生写一下他们在学校的不快体验。
这种时候学生不会有任何写作障碍！“我希望当时有人能让我停止吸毒，让我学习。
”“我喜欢参加派对，似乎没人在意。
”“我是一个好孩子，不会制造任何麻烦，于是他们就让我考试通过，及时我阅读不好，也不会写作。
”很多诸如此类的抱怨。
4我基本是一个空想社会改良家，在教这门课之前我将孩子们的学习能力差归咎于毒品、离婚和其他妨碍注意力集中的东西，要想学习好就必须集中注意力。
但是，我每一次走进教室都会再度发现，一个老师在期望学生全神贯注之前，他必须先吸引学生的注意力，无论附近有什么分散注意力的东西。
要做到这点，有很多种办法，它们与教学风格有很大的关系。
然而，单靠风格无法起效，有另一个办法可以显示谁是在教室里掌握胜局的人。
这个办法就是亮出失败的王牌。
5我永远也忘不了一位老师亮出那张王牌以吸引我的一个孩子的注意。
我的小儿子是个世界级的万人迷，学习不怎么动脑筋却总能蒙混过关。
直到施蒂夫特夫人当了他的老师，这种局面才彻底改变了。
6当她教我儿子英语时，我儿子是一个高中高年级学生。
“他坐在后排和他的朋友说话。
”她告诉我。
“你为什么不把他换到前排来？”我恳求道。
我相信令他难堪的做法会让他安心学习。
施蒂夫特夫人从眼睛上方冷冷地看着我。
“我不会换高年级学生的座位。
”她说，“我会给他们不及格的成绩。

Complete the following summary of the text by filling in the blanks with words. The initial letter of each word has been given to you.The past decade and a half witnessed how the world went (1) flat, which is characterized by two dates: 11/9 and 9/11.The creative (2) imagination of 11/9 led to the collapse of the Berlin Wall and helped citizens around the globe to join together in business and trade. In the mean time, the (3) destructive imagination of 9/11 brought down the World Trade Center, throwing the world into chaos and panic.Eleven-nine arose from a simple event in which hundreds of East Germans sought (4) refuge at the West German (5) embassy in Hungary in July 1989. As a result, Hungary decided to lift the (6) restrictions on the passage to Austria, which made it possible for thousands of East Germans to (7) escape to Austria and thus to West Germany. The impending (8) pressure drove the East German government to (9) remove travel ban.

Complete the following summary of the text by filling in the blanks with words. The initial letter of each word has been given to you."Space and Time" is just one part of the book, A Brief History of Time. In it, the author has (1) displayed some well-known theories of universe to stir our imagination to think about the answers to the (2) permanent questions about how the world comes into being. They are the (3) infinite tower of tortoises, the (4) superstring theory and Laplace' s (5) determinism. Although the first one is obviously ridiculous, the latter two are also (6) incomplete. They all lack (7) observational evidences. Einstein even once asked the question: "How much (8) choice did God have in constructing the universe?" because even his theory of universe is just a hypothesis.On the one hand, the author has criticized the present scientists for paying too much attention to finding what the universe is and ignoring the reason why it is like that. On the otherhand, he has also indicated that philosophers have not been able to keep up with the advance of scientific theories. They have reduced the scope of their inquiries so much that Wittgenstein has pointed out that the sole remaining task for philosophy is the analysis of language. This is a truly (9) comedown in philosophy. But this doesn't mean that the author (10) discounts our humans can't find the nature of the universe and truly know the mind of God.VocabularyI.

FriendshipPreviewFriendship is a unique relationship. In contrast to most other relationships, friendship is voluntary. There are legal and religious ceremonies for marriage, and social and legal rules for governing marital relationships. We have no parallel ceremoniesto recognize friendships and no formal standards to guide interaction among friends. The lack of social standards and recognition makes friendship a particularly challenging and exciting relationship.Text ReadingWarm-upKnowing friendship.Friendship is universal; a close friend is a close friend anywhere.

Adelma n[1] What do America ns mean whe n they use the word "frie nd"? The dicti onary defi nes it as: "one attached to ano ther by affectio n (love) or esteem (great respect and admirati on; a good opi nion of sb)", America ns, however, use the word more freely tha n the dicti onary defi niti on. A frie nd might be an acquaintance or an intimate (close) companion (a person who has similar tastes, interests, etc. to your own and whose compa ny you enjoy) that one has known since childhood. It is difficult todefine this word precisely (accurately) as it is used in American English, because it covers many differe nt relati on ships. "My frie nd and I took our kids to the park yesterday." "My frie nd told me about a won derful restaura nt." "My frie nd liste ned to my problems for two hours yesterday." We hear such daily uses of the word "friend" without knowing the quality (the standard of sth when it is compared to other things like it) of the friendship mentioned.[2] In gen eral, America ns have casual (without deep affecti on) frie ndly relatio nships with many people, but deeper, closer friendships with only a few. True friendships require time and commitme nt (a promise to do sth or to behave in a particular way), which many America ns lack. Therefore, they ofte n find it convenient to have frie ndly but less committed relati on ships, rather tha n many deep, close frie ndships. Un like the stereotype (a fixed idea or image that many people have of a particular type of pers on or thi ng, but which is ofte n not true in reality), America ns doin deed have close frie nds, but in additi on they have frie ndships that can be characterized as superficial (not concerned with anything serious or important and lacking any depth of understanding or feeling). Their shortage of time and their numerous (many) commitments to family, work, and eve n volun teer projects mean America ns have less time to pursue (seek) many close frie nds.Frie ndli ness Versus (v.s./ vs=aga in st) Frie ndship[3] Many people around the world characterize (con sider/ regard) America ns as frie ndly. America ns, especially in comparis on to certa in other cultural groups, tend to smile and talk easily with others eve n if they are stra ngers (in big cities, this is less com mon). For example, people waiting in lines (i.e., in the post office or in the grocery store) often strike up conversations② with each other. They may even disclose (to give sb information about sth, especially sth that was previously secret) personal information in encounters with strangers whom they will never see aga in. This seems unu sual (un com mon) to many foreig ners in the Un ited States. From their point of view, how can a pers on trust a stra nger eno ugh to chat freely and reveal pers onal in formati on? After all, in most of the world, strangers are not to be trusted.[4] The followi ng is an acco unt (descriptio n) of what an America n woma n lear ned about the America n man she was sta nding behi nd in a line in a post office. In about eight minu tes, he revealed that: (1) he wasmarried and his wife was about to have a baby; (2) he was un happy with his job as a salesma n and was con sideri ng a "mid-life" caree ③ cha nge (not un com mon in the Un ited States); (3) he and his wife were tryi ng to figure out (work out) if it would be better to work harder or totake more time off (take holidays, ask for leave) from work so that they could relax more.[5] This is perhaps an extreme example (eve n for many America ns) of how stra ngers reveal aspects (particular parts or feature of a situation, an idea, a problem, etc) of their lives to each other. To many people around the world, this openness (frankness, the quality of not being confined or covered) would be considered abnormal (not normal, unusual) and even (suspect-〉)suspicious. Some would stereotype (vt. to form a fixed idea about a person or thing which may not really be true) this man and might say, "Well, he's a salesma n. What do you expect?" While many America ns would find his openness excessive, this type of person is not a rayi④.Diversity in Pers onal Relatio nships[6] In the United States, men and women socialize (to meet and spend time with people in a frien dly way, in order to enjoy yourself) relatively freely and develop a variety of relati on ships. To people from cultures where con tact betwee n the sexes is limited (or eve n forbidde n), this variety can be confusing. Single and married people of the opposite sex may be close friends and share pers onal problems without being roma ntically invo Ived. College stude nts and others may eve n live with some one of the opposite sex for practical reas ons only. That is, they may be frie nds (without any roma ntic connection) who feel that they are compatible (they can have a good relati on ship because they have similar ideas, in terests, etc.) as "roommates" or "housemates." In con trast, many men and women decide to live together before they are married to see how compatible they are. Some of these relati on ships end up i n (result in) successful marriages; others break up (end, dismiss) before (and some after) marriage. In many parts of the Un ited States (although not all), there are few restricti ons (limits) on the types of relati on ships people can have. This does n ot mea n that you will see non traditi onal relati on ships everywhere you go to the Un ited States. However, i n some of the big cities and in areas not characterized as "conservative (opposed to great or sudden social cha nge; show ing that you prefer traditi onal styles and values)," you will see a great deal of varietyof types of pers onal relati on ships.[7] In the United States, marriage relationships, of course, different from couple to couple, but there are some gen eralities (major characteristics) that can be made. Some married men and wome n con sider themselves to be best friends as well as spouses. This con cept is unu sual in some cultures particularly where the marriage is arranged or is a marriage of convenience基于禾U害关系的婚姻)⑤.Some foreigners in the United States have mentioned that is impossible for a spouse to be a best friend. On the other hand, some America ns hold the same belief, but probably not for cultural reas ons.[8] Many people remarry if they have been divorced or widowed (if sb is widowed , their husband or wife has died). Remarriage has no stigma (feelings of disapproval that people haveabout particular illnesses or ways of behaving) in the United States. In fact, some widowed or divorced people are en couraged by their grow n childre n to con ti nue to socialize and eve n remarry. In deed, many older people feel that they have a right to con ti nued happ in ess in pers onal relati on ships regardless of their age. Therefore, more people have bee n seek ing compa nion ships with new friends in their "golden years."⑥Mobility and Frie ndship[9] America ns are geographically mobile (able to move or travel around easily), and many lear n to develop friendships easily and quickly. Approximately (About) one out of every American families moves every year. People relocate (to move or to move sb/sth to a new place to work or operate) becausethey changejobs, attend distant colleges, get married, have children, or simply want a change in their lives. Perhaps as a consequenee (as a result), people sometimes form and end frien dships quickly. Stude nts atte nd two or three uni versities duri ng their un dergraduate (years) and graduate years may change their "circle of friends" several times. Likewise (二Similarly), people who cha nge their jobs, while keep ing one or two friends from the orig inal place of employme nt,may also cha nge their circle of frien ds.[10] Relati on ships based on a com mon activity may fade (to disappear gradually) or end whe n the activity en ds. Mothers may meet while droppi ng_their_childre n_off at nu rsery school and rema in friends until their kids go to different schools. The same holds (=is) true for neighbors who are closest frie nds un til one moves away. These frie ndships are not deep but are based upon shared (com mon) daily experie nces. Many America ns, in gen eral, do have en duri ng (last ing for a long time) friendships, but at certain points in their lives can be satisfied with transient (continuing for only a short time) relatio nships. In cultures where people have only lifetime frie nds (in part because they do not move from city to city), these temporary (lasting or intended to last or be used only for a short time; not perma nent) relati on ships are hard to un dersta nd. But many America ns move so ofte n that learning to make friends quickly becomes a necessary (survive->) survival skill.Notes①This text is adapted from Beyond Language: Cross-Cultural Communication, which helps stude nts un dersta nd and adapt to cultural differe nces and values whe n com muni cati ng with speakers of America n En glish.②to strike up a conv ersati on : to in itiate or beg in a conv ersati on.③midlife career: Midlife is a normal developmental life stage.

TheDuanwu Festival, also called the Dragon Boat Festival, is celebrated on the fifth day of the fifth month according to the Chinese calendar (or: the fifth day of the fifth month of the lunar calendar). It is one of the traditional Chinese festivals. There are various celebration activities on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, among which eating rice dumplings (or: eating zongzi) and dragon boat race are important customs. There are many legends on the origin of the Dragon Boat Festival. Some people say it is to commemorate the poet Qu Yuan, while some others think it is to memorialize Wu Zixu, a famous military strategist in the Warring States Period. However, the legend on Qu Yuan is the most widely spread.In the mind of most Chinese people, the conventions of eating rice dumplings and Dragon Boat Race in the Festival are all closely related to the commemoration of Qu Y uan.2英译汉Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation soconceived and so dedicated, can long endure.

English to Chinese1> Translate the following paragraph into Chinese.很多权威的气候学家们都曾发出过这样的警告: 如果我们现在的温度超过工业化前2摄氏度< 3.6华氏度>的话,我们将会迈进一个危险的未知国度.没有人能知道到底全球变暖达到多少度会变得无法控制,并且造成像干旱、洪水、飓风以与热浪等自然灾害的逐渐恶化,造成诸如格陵兰岛或西南极洲大冰原坍塌以与伴随的全球海平面上升等意外的灾难性变化.但是我们还依然在我们唯一的家身上不断做着危险而又不受约束的尝试,这也是为什么越来越多的年轻人开始将气候变化视为他们这一代人的一项挑战.2> Read the following passage carefully and translate the underlined sentences into Chinese.<1> 双方相信,应对气候变化应该尊重发展中国家把经济和社会发展作为优先事项,并相信向低碳经济转型是促进所有国家经济持续增长和可持续发展的机会.<2> 中美双方决心根据各自国情采取重要减缓行动,并认识到两国在促成加强世界应对气候变化能力的可持续成果方面具有重要作用.双方决心支持这些承诺.<3> 在此背景下,双方致力于在哥本哈根会议达成最终的法律协议,同时相信,在共同但有区别的责任原则和各自能力的基础上,达成的成果应包括发达国家的减排目标和发展中国家的国内适当减缓行动.<4> 基于中美两国在电动汽车领域的巨大投资,两国政府宣布在十几个城市开展联合示X项目,并努力开发共同的技术标准以推动此产业规模快速增长.<5> 通过该伙伴关系,两国将就大规模利用风能、太阳能、先进生物燃料和现代电网制定路线,在设计和执行实现这一远景所需的政策和技术手段方面进行合作.Unit 3 Culture Shock2.

Though Yale, and all other top schools, focus on granting a ‘global’ MBA experience, the style of instruction, the classroom environment, and the nuances of school culture are very much American. In speaking to my classmates who come from other countries, particularly China, it seems that three key pillars of the U.S. education experience actually come as a major culture shock: loud and often boisterous in class discussion; the reliance on teamwork to complete tasks; and the unofficial importance of socializing to build a network within the class. For someone who has grown up in the Americanschool system, conforming to these three attributes happens almost subconsciously, and thinking that others may find them surprising or difficult to tackle reveals the unintended limits of my own world view.b. English to Chinese1> Translate the following paragraph into Chinese.尽管每个学生的经历是不同的,但大多数参加一年期项目的交换生经历着几乎相同的适应文化冲击的过程.必须指出的是,虽然文化冲击会令人感到不舒服,但这并不代表着它本身有什么错,也不代表着经受其中的人有什么错.相当普遍的情况是: 学生们在适应文化冲击的过程中,新的问题层出不穷,但这对他们而言也是一种有价值的经历.许多人会说,只有当经历了深层次的文化冲击,才是最有价值的交换.2> Read the following passage carefully and translate the underlined sentences into Chinese.<1> 从问候到饮食,稍不留神就会出差错,不仅让自己难堪,还有可能冒犯东道主.<2> 在地中海国家,如果你和别人交谈时没有碰对方的手臂,或见面问候时没和对方亲吻拥抱,别人会认为你不热情.在韩国,如果你从后面拍不是家庭成员或者好朋友的人,你会让对方感到不舒服.<3> 到伦敦人家里参加宴会时脱掉鞋子,女主人会认为你不文明,但去亚洲、夏威夷或太平洋群岛的居民家中不脱鞋却被认为失礼.<4> 许多文化依然推崇传统的进食方式——用手吃.在这种情况下,食物往往是众人一起分享的,因此饭前洗手很重要,而且要遵守用右手吃东西的习俗,左手往往有其他用途.<5> 你是左撇子吗？还是努力让自己的双手都灵巧吧——在这些文化里,即使是左撇子的孩子也被教会用右手吃饭——或者至少吃饭前向同伴解释一下.Unit 4 Artificial Intelligence2.

The ene mies we fight are only in relative terms, constantly changing with the times.<8> Taiwan , viewed from the historical facts and the international law, is beyond dispute one part of Chinese sacred territory and it is an inviolable mission of the entire Chinese people to reunify the motherland.2> Translate the following paragraph into English.Sales of professional and personal service robots worldwide were estimated to have reached about 5.5 million this year—and are expected to more than double to 11.5 million by 2011—yet there is little or no control over how these machines are used. Some help busy professionals entertain children; other machines feed and bathe the elderly and incapacitated. "We need to look at guidelines for a cut off so we have a limit to the contact with robots〞one expert said. "Some robots designed to look after children with them for hours, or even days. At the other end of the age spectrum to child care, the relative increase in many countries in the population of the elderly relative to available younger care givers has spurred the development of elder care robots.〞b. English to Chinese1> Translate the following paragraph into Chinese.计算的能力当然与生存无关,然而随着语言改变了人类的文化,至少是我们大脑的一小部分已进化成了一种勉强可以称为通用机器的东西.这个机器的一个特点就是它能服从一系列随意的指令,而这些指令可以通过语言进行传递并得以执行.但是由于我们把数字看成是复杂的东西,将它们写下来并用以完成其它类似的功能,所以我们处理数字的方式显得非常笨拙,并且效率不高.我们用上百亿个神经细胞花好几分钟进行的运算通过上百个计算机,尤其是那些经过重新设置用于计算的计算机,可以在几毫秒就完成.2> Read the following passage carefully and translate the underlined sentences into Chinese.<1> 但它们并不是用高出一筹的逻辑和力量统治人类,而是有可能导致一个与他人完全隔绝的底层人群的产生.<2> 机器人正被引入潜在的敏感情境中,这可能导致<被服务者>与世隔绝的状态,因为人们在给机器人设定指令后,往往很长时间不再问津.<3> 许多机器人被设计成玩具,但它们也能扮演照看孩子的角色: 监督孩子的一举一动,通过无线电脑连接或移动与另一个房间甚至另一座建筑物内的家长联络.<4> 但是由于机器人保姆能在身体上保护孩子的安全,可能会造成孩子一天数小时或者几天都不与人接触,同时不同程度的与社会隔绝对孩子成长可能造成的心理影响目前还不清楚.<5> 护理老年人的机器人能帮助老年人在自己家中自理,但它们的存在可能会使老年人完全处于机器人照顾之下,从而面临缺乏足够的与人交流机会的危险.。

By randomly talking about her problems, she becomes less upset.参考译文：女人有压力时，会本能地需要找人谈论自己的感受以及所有可能与之相关的问题。

Use What You Already Know Most people think they have a vocabulary and that is either weak or strong, good or bad. Actually, you have four different vocabulary levels—for reading, writing, listening, and speaking. Most likely your listening and reading vocabularies are larger than your speaking and writing vocabularies. In other words, you already know a large number of words that you are not using. A good place to start, then, in strengthening your vocabulary, is to experiment with words you already know but do not use. Make a point of using one of these words each day, in both speaking and writing.
