新概念英语第三册Lesson56重点句子及解析新概念英语第三册Lesson56重点句子及解析【课文】The river which forms the eastern boundary of our farm has always played an important part in our lives. Without it we could not make a living. There is only enough spring water to supply the needs of the houses, so we have to pump from the river for farm use. We tell river all our secrets. We know instinctively, just as beekeepers with their bees, that misfortune might overtake us if the important events of our lives were not related to it.We have special river birthday parties in the summer. Sometimes we go upstream to a favourite backwater, sometimes we have our party at the boathouse, which a predecessor of ours at the farm built in the meadow hard by the deepest pool for swimming and diving. In a heat wave we choose a midnight birthday party and that is the most exciting of all. We welcome the seasons by the riverside, crowning the youngest girl with flowers in the spring, holding a summer festival on Midsummer Eve, giving thanks for the harvest in the autumn, and throwing a holy wreath into the current in the winter.After a long period of rain the river may overflow its banks. This is a rare occurrence as our climate seldom guest to extremes. We are lucky in that only the lower fields, which make up a very small proportion of our farm, are effected by flooding, but other farms are less favorably sited, and flooding can sometimes spell disaster for their owners.One bad winter we watched the river creep up the lower meadows. All the cattle had been moved into stalls and we stood to lose little. We were, however, worried about ournearest neighbors, whose farm was low lying and who were newcomers to the district. As the floods had put thetelephone out of order, we could not find out how they were managing. From an attic window we could get a sweeping view of the river where their land joined ours, and at the most critical juncture we took turns in watching that point. The first sign of disaster was a dead sheep floating down. Next came a horse, swimming bravely, but we were afraid that the strength of the current would prevent its landing anywhere before it became exhausted. Suddenly a raft appeared, looking rather like Noah's ark, carrying the whole family, a few hens, the dogs, cat, and bird in a cage. We realized that they must have become unduly frightened by the rising flood, for their house, which had sound foundations, would have stood stoutly even if it had been almost submerged. The men of our family waded down through our flooded meadows with boathooks, in the hope of being able to grapple a corner of the raft and pullit out of the current towards our bank. We still think it a miracle that they we able to do so.【课文翻译】形成我们农场东部边界的一条河流一直在我们生活中发挥着重要作用。

新世纪走遍美国问题答案Answers
Connect with English Answers, Episodes #1-#48 Episodes 1-4 (Rebecca's Dream, Differences, A Visit to the Doctor, Celebrations)Q1. Based on Rebecca‟s treatment of her boyfriend, how do you think she views relationships?A1. After viewing the video,obviously,we could come to the conclusion that the heroine named Rebecca had her own dream which was being accepted by the Boston School of Music so that she was able to purse her music career, and she worked quite hard to achieve it. So perhaps she didn‟t have too much time to maintain her relationships with her boyfriend Matt right now. But I firmlyl believe that she still loved him and was eager to give him much more love. After having her dream came true, she would devote her more time to accompany her boyfriend in daily life. It is just a matter of time and personal dream.Q2. What‟s wrong with Jack?A2. Sandy and Jack went to attend Sal‟s fourth annual Memorial Day cookout. From the video,we know that Jack drank too many beers and he lost his job yesterday. Jack was always in a bad mood and he often lost his temper. Jack‟s behavior in the party made his girlfriend Sandy feel very angry, besides he used playing volleyball as an excuse to leave the party. It made Sandy feel that Jack was not such reliable and it was hard for her to imagine Jack as a dad. We all knew that it is a great shame to cheat the girl. However, Jack did that so he was not a gentleman.Q3. What happens at the picnic with Jack? Why does Sandy put up with it?A3. Because of losing his job and drinking too many beers, Jack was in a bad mood during the picnic time and he wanted to leave the party to calm down. The reason why Sandy put up with it are as follows. For one thing, Sandy had not said hello to her friend Sal. She thought it to be impolite to do so and wanted to have a chance to talk with others. From here, we could easily find out that Jack was rather selfish. For another reason, Jack gave them an unreal reason for his leaving that he would go to play volleyball with his friends. Sandy was cheated and she couldn‟t hack to be cheated. What a shame to deceive the girl I think! So Sandy began to put up with Jack and the thing he did.Q4. “I can‟t believe it,”Rebecca said when she got her letter. Why did she say that?A4. Because to her surprise, she was rejected by three colleges which all located in Boston continuously, and among these colleges had the Boston School of Music which she greatly aspired to. Maybe this kind of blow was almost like the end of the world, and She could not bear off the blow. She talked with her brother and he gave her some comfort. However, still there was a school which wass a great consolation to her . The school was the music college in San Francisco, and we knew that finally she was accepted by this school. According to the fact, we can see that if the god closes the door for you, he must open the window somewhere else.Episodes 5-8 (Breaking the news, Saying goodbye, Leaving home, The stranger)Q5. “Oh, I can‟t believe this!” Sandy said. Why?A5. Since Rebecca had been accepted by the music college in San Francisco, she felt extremely excited. When she talked with Sandy during the break time, she told her that she was going to to tell the boss about her quitting the job that day. Maybe Sandy considered the decision which was made by Rebecca was too unexpected, and she thought Rebecca‟mind was full of her dreams right now. In my opinion, I could understand why Rebecca would make this decision. Going to the music college to learn the courses was her a great dream, and now it eventually became true so that she thought it was worth to do whatever the matter was.Q6. Since“dreams don‟t pay bills,”what does Rebecca‟s father do and why?A6. This words was said by Frank who was one of the friends of Rebecca‟s father. As for Rebecca‟s father, deep love had always been paid since the day when Rebecca was born. Though at first he strongly opposed Rebecca to learn the music far away from home, he thought that playing music would earn less money and she could not hava a bright future. However, finally he persuaded himself to accept her idea to learn the music. So he would buy a car for her as the gift. It was the love that let him to do this for her daughter and he wanted her to purse her own dream. From It can be seen from this matter that how greatest the father love it was!Q7. What is the significance of the necklace and what do you think it has to do with Rebecca going to study music?A7. The necklace was the belonging of Rebecca‟s mother and she left it to the family when she passed away. So her mother couldn‟t talked with her before Rebecca was leaving for San Francisco. Rebecca‟s father supposed to give the necklace to her as if her mother was always around her wherever she was. We know form the previous episode that Rececca‟s mother was also fond of music and that was why Rebecca said she had talent in music. The necklace implied some kinds of encouragement or other significant meanings. Of course it would have the positive effect on her learning of music in San Francisco.Q8. How does Rebecca respond to conflict and stress, based on this episode?A8. A single person‟s trip was full of l loneliness. It might easily get into the trouble and no one else would help you to solve the problem. As Rebecca drove across the desert, she listened to the local style music and enjoyed the beautiful scenery along the road to release her stress and loneliness. When she met the stranger named Alberto as her car broke down in the desert, at first strongly she tried to protect herself. She did not know whether she should accept his help or not. After a strong ideological struggle, she eventually received Alberto‟s help, and through talking with him, she gradually became relaxed. She had tried her very best to respond to the stress and conflict.Episodes 9-12 (The motel, Negotiations, Photos and farewells, A new home)Q9. “I can do whatever I want, whenever I want.”Is this an accurate statement?A9. I think this statement is not totally accurate, and it is just a one-sided point. Truly, America is a country which advocates the freedom of human rights, and American citizens can enjoy their rights around the whole country land. People can use the public facilities in the city, drive and park the cars complied with the related laws and regulations and so on. However there is one important point that we should pay attention. Only when we don‟t violate other‟s interest, can we have our own rights enjoyed. I firmly believe, this precondition is applicable to other westernized nations including the the United Kingdom, of course it is the same in China.Q10. How has Rebecca changed from the beginning of the story?A10. At the beginning of the story, Rebecca was not so familiar with the stronger named Alberto. Nevertheless, through experiencing some matters together, such as taking photos, talking about the dream catcher and so on, Rebecca found that Alberto was a good guy and he is always ready to help her. She could not express to him how greatful she was. So Rebecca left him the telephone number and the address before she got on the bus. Maybe she hoped that Alberto would contact her when she was in San Francisco She now treated him as her friends rather than a stranger.Q11. What did Alberto buy at the end and why?A11. After sending Rebecca got on the bus, Alberto went to the shop to buy the dream catcher at the end of the story. I think there are two reasons why he bought it. Firstly, he just bought it for himself and wanted to hold the sweet dream and dropped the bad one. Certainly, the possibility of this happening is less than the possibility of an ant stomps an elephant to death. Another reason was that he thought Rebecca and him would reunion in San Francisco, and he might send this dream catcher to her. According to the follow-up episodes, he finally sent it to Rebecca as a gift. Of course, there is a much more deeper meaning about the dream catcher. It not only stands for Rebecca‟s dream of being a music maker or singer but also symbolized the love of Alberto‟s.Q12. What kinds of …culture shock‟ has Rebecca received so far on her trip? Relate at least three.A12. The term, culture shock, was introduced for the first time in 1958 to describe the anxiety produced when a person moves to a completely new environment. This term expresses the lack of direction, the feeling of not knowing what to do or how to do things in a new environment, and not knowing what is appropriate or inappropriate. To begin with, when she drove the car across the United States,the music on the radio surely was different from the Boston, and She began to like this Tex-Mex music. Secondly, the number of the twenty-four-hour store is less than the Boston. The stores often closes at sundown. Thirdly, when Rebecca and Alberto visited the canyons, Alberto taught her the correct pronunciation of the place name …Agua Caliente‟. So, we can come to the conclusion that different countries may pronounce the words invarious ways. Finally, Rebecca had to share the old house with the people she don‟t know and live alone in the city far away from her home.Episodes 13-16 (Job hunting, A bad day, A night out, First day of class)Q13. List some ways that Rebecca could have prepared better for the professional life. A13. One way that Rebecca prepared for her life is that she will join the work-study programs to earn some money so that she can pay for all her expenses including tuition, living expenses and rent. After seeing the latter episodes, we know that Rebecca became a baseball coaches in the music school and all the children liked playing with her so much. She also tanght Vincent an Alex to play guitar freely. Another way was that when she had finished the first class, she felt it hard for her to study the course, so maybe she would read more books before she started the assignment and spent more time studying the course so that she could catch up with the schedule.Q14. As Rebecca searches for a job, how does her attitude reflect her inner conflicts? A14. Rebecca is a character who has a strong wish to live on herself. During the job interview, she tried her effort to reveal her personal ability and the desire of getting the job. However, her such positive attitude did n‟t work. On the contrary, it reflected her inner feelings such as anxiety and impatience. During one day, she had tried two kinds of job interviews. With regard to the first interview, since she did not have enough word-processing skills so that she did‟t get the job. Regarding her second job, it would be a nonsense that the boss of the factory said he wanted an attractive woman to work for him. To put it bluntly, that was sexual harassment. As such, Rebecca‟s job hunting ended in failure.Q15. What is the significance of the song Rebecca sang?A15. As we all know, the song sung by Rebecca was written by her mother and she used to sing it to her brother when he was a little boy. She now lived far away from home, and she missed her parents and brother very much, especially her mother maybe. To sing this song can stongly show up her inner feelings. Also, the lyrics is so beautiful, saying that our life is a dream and we barely know we are dreaming until I see the light that is shining in your eyes, until I see the light that's shining in your eyes. The lyrics clearly reveals the inner world of Rebecca.Q16. In what ways is Ramon devoted to his son?A16. When Ramon talked with Rebecca during the dinner, he told Rebecca that he wanted his son to take the music lessons. To cultivate an interest of music can help children to improve their personal attainment and ability. Ramon wished he could spend more time with his son, but the restaurant took up so much of his time. From this point, we can infer that Ramon loves his son very much. The matter mentioned below strongly support the view that he would rather pick up his son than take care of the restaurant. Although it may be too tired sometimes, cause life is like this.Episodes 17-20 (Casey at the bat, The art gallery, The picnic, Prejudice)Q17. Does Rebecca feel more at ease with Ramon or Alberto? Support your opinion.A17. In my opinion, I think that Rebecca now feel more at ease with Alberto. Alberto took Rebecca to the gallery opening, and Rebecca surprisedly find herself in the photograph of the Alberto‟s. It made her feel surprised and proud. As Alberto sent her home, he gave her the …dream catcher‟ and Rebecca was greatly touched by this. She said that she would not have any more bad dreams now. Finally, they hugged and kissed each other in real passion. Obviously, Both of them fell in love with each other. However, it is still a mystery that Rebacca will choose whom to be her boyfriend.Q18. What should Alberto‟s family do about the investment?A18. Since Alberto and Ramon holds the different suggestion about the investment, it is a little difficult for the parents to make up their minds. Abberto held the point that they should seize the opportunity to sell the restaurant so that the family could get a large sun of money. Their parents could use the money to spend their remaining years in comfort. Ramon strongly againsted the idea, saying that the restaurant had been in the family for thirty years. It's not only their business, it's also their home. Therefore, I think that more family meetings should be set up to discuss this matter as soon as possible. After all, money and spirit can not always be balanced.Q19. Was it right for Alex to fight?A19. As a matter of fact, it was not right for Alex to fight. The children who laughed at Vincent had poor education. Therefore presents this procedure to be able generally to consider that lacks the family education. Alex should do as his father said in the end the he ought to fight back with words, not with violence. Whereas we can view this behavior in another way. Since Alex and Vincent were good friends, Alex felt it unfair to his best friend Vincent and he finally acted this behavior impulsively. The lesson for each of us is this: look before you leap when you do everything.Q20. What kind of prejudice do you have in your country?A20. In our country, we also advocate that all men are equal as with other countries. Perhaps the most common prejudice in our country may exist between the rich and the poor. The government now takes measures to narrow the gap between these two kinds of citizens, and truly it has a significant effect. I think that governments should tax the millionaire in favour of the pauper, however great the millionaire‟s capacity for happiness relative to the pauper. At the meanwhile, as a civil engineer, when I finish my postgraduate education I am not only to serve the rich, but more importantly to help the poor.Episodes 21-24 (A difficult decision, Guitar lessons, The retirement party, The phone call)Q21. What is Rebecca's solution to restoring the friendship between Alex and Vincent? What is her reason?A21. The solution is that Rebecca will ask the Wangs(Vincent‟s father) if she can giveguitar lessons to Vincent and Alex at Vincent's house so that the two children can still play and meet with each other. Actually Vincent hoped that he coul go back to school to play with his friends, however his father didn‟t allow him to do so. The reason for her doing so was that Rebecca thought she didn't protect Vincent that day and her carelessness led to the adverse effect. The guitar lessons for two children were her way of apologizing to Vicent‟s family and it was free for them. We could see that Rebecca was a friendly, generous, and warm-hearted woman.Q22. To whom do you believe the California court will decide to give Alex? Why?A22. According to the story, what Alex wants is that his father and mother love with each other again and they can be a family. I believe the California court will ask Alex for his opinion and finally give Alex to his father. Because he has got used to living with his father, his best friend Vincent, his teacher Rebecca and other people around him. Besides this living environment is conducive to Alex‟s growth. In the story, the writer did not give us the answer that the court would eventually give Alex to his father or mother. Of course, it is entirely possible that Ramon will make his peace with his wife just for Alex.Q23. Is Alberto a 'ladies man'? Why or why not?A23. As far as I am considered, Alberto is a ladies man. In the previous episode, Alberto went down well with the ladies in the armmmjt gallery. The ladies were talking about t rip to Acapulco, and Alberto wanted to hear the rest of the trip. So he left Rebecca alone and engaged in their conversation. Alberto‟s such behavior made Rebecca feel very embarrassed and did not know what to do at the moment. One more thing was that in his parents‟retirement party, he also showed great popularity among the ladies. He danced with a lady and talked with several ladies. The reason why Alberto had so much luck with women may derive from his confidence, good looks and so on.Q24. Do you agree with Mr. Mendoza's decision about his restaurant? Why or why not?A24. Yes, I do agree with Mr. Mendoza's decision about his restaurant. At their retirement party, he declared that there had been a rumor that they were selling the restaurant and he assured everybody that the Mendoza tradition would continue. In spite of the old couple had retired, but they would never forget the good times they had made in the restaurant with their friends over the past thirty years. Not only the restaurant stands for their business but also represent their family. They would like to last the Mendoza‟s tradition forward and witness the next thirty years of the Casa Mendoza restaurant. It is now clear that not even the money will take the place of the beautiful memory.Episodes 25-28 (Review, The emergency, Bad news, Brothers)Q25. Which episode touched your heart the most?A25. The episode #25 touched my heart the most. As soon as Rebecca arrived inBoston, she went to the hospital immediately and saw her father laid in bed, looking so weak. She talked with her father in tears, and felt very sorry for her leaving. The one thing she could do was be here for him. When I saw this episode, it made me feel quite sad. Everyone has to face the reality that our loved ones will leave us and go to another world, especially when our parents pass away. In my opinion, what we can do at the moment is to spend more time at home with our parents. Although nowadays, young men look so busy and independent in modern society that they will never feel free to live with their parents. I strongly recommend that we should make a frequent call and have a regular visit to our parents, and spend some time on their lives and health.Q26. How does Rebecca react to tragedy?A26. At the first when Rebecca got the news that her father was in a serious condition and now was in hospital, she was shocked by it. Rapidly she bowed farewell to her friends and caught the next flight to Boston. As a daughter, Rebecca thought she failed to fulfill her duty to take care of her father before he passed away. A sense of guilt came up from her inner heart. She could no longer hold her emotions in leash and cry on her uncle‟s shoulder. She felt pretty upset for her father‟s death. We can not imagine how sad it is when lost our loved ones. I believe that we youngsters should face the fact in right manner and try our best to be strong.Q27. What kind of man is Uncle Brendan, besides being a brother to Patrick?A27. Actually, Uncle Brendan is a such kind and generous man except sometimes he is a little stubborn which may be the nature of the Irish. For all that maybe Patrick and he had some misunderstanding which others didn‟t know. But he actively forgave and forgot the argument with Patrick before and thought that was not the way brothers were supposed to be. According to the latter episode, because of a girl, the two brothers never talked with each other. Of course, I can not imagine what I will be if my brother moves in on my girl friend. It is really something to honor that Bredan finally forgave Patrick.Q28. Why is it so difficult for Brendan and Patrick to reconcile?A28. Probably there are some misunderstanding between them, not simply because of their personal character. In episode #37, the truth about the matter had come to light. When Brendan sent Rebecca to the airport, Rebecca asked him about the reason. Bredan told Rebecca frankly about everything between he and Patrick. Patrick fell in love with Brendan‟s new girlfriend after Bredan went to the battlefield. However Brendan asked Patrick to keep an eye on his new girlfriend before he left. After a while, then Bredan received a letter from each of them, saying they had fallen in love with each other and finally they got married.Episodes 29-32 (Grief, Life goes on, A box of memories, The missing car)Q29. At the funeral, many people spoke about Patrick. What did you find the most touching?A29. The most touching words about Patrick, I think, was that Rebecca recalled her father‟s dream. He wanted to go fishing, on one of those deep-sea fishing boats, but somehow he never did. He dreamed of having a house, not a big house,just a little one with a garden. That never happened either. The most regretful thing in our lives is that we haven‟t fulfill our dreams before we died. In Kevin‟s memory, he remember that when his father had a hard life after he got hurt in the fire. He always cared about Rebecca and him and he had a big heart. If he had added his burden, he felt greatly sorry for that.Q30. What is the significance to the story of Frank Wells?A30. In the video, the writer mainly wants to use the story of Frank to recall Patrick. Frank Wells is a special friend of Patrick. During their work, Patrick had saved his lives for several times which Rebecca and Kevin didn‟t know. The story of Frank Wells have several effects. It told us that Patrick did a lot of good things when he was alive and all the people liked to be friends with him. What‟s more, his statement made people miss Patrick even more. Finally, from his words, we could easily understand that Patrick is a man who loved his job and always be brave in every fire disaster.Q31. Talk about two objects that were significant to 1)Rebecca and 2)Kevin, and explain why they were important.A31. To Rebecca, I think the most important object is that whether she will go back to collage or not. As a elder sisiter, perhaps this is a tough decision. Since if she went back to collage, Kevin and she will be separated, but she thinks Kevin is her only relative now and she supposes to look after him. To Kevin, he is still under age and maybe he should go to the collage to receive higher education instead of having a job with low salary. In any countries, people are encouraged to receive education whenever they want. Probably, this is the best method to improve personal quality and broaden one‟s horizon.Q32. In what ways do 1)Rebecca and 2)Kevin try to deal with their pain?A32. Rebecca tried to deal with the pain in a more proper way. She talked with her friends Sandy, her uncle and other people. In her mind, solutions must be taken to help her relieve the pain. Something should be done rather than be sad all day. She is much more mature than her younger brother. Since Kevin is just a child, his way of thinking have some difference with his sister. It is a way which is full of immature and purity. Since the death of his father, he was in a bad mood all the time. It seems that he always tried to escape from the truth, and he didn‟t have the encourage to face the reality. He went to find his girlfriend at night by using the car without his uncle‟s permission. When he came back, he quarreled with Rebecca again. All what he did was impulsive, he needed to be calm down so that the problem could be solved. Episodes 33-36 (A breakdown, A call for help, Changes, The farm)Q33. Where did Rebecca and Kevin talk and why is that an important place?A33. When it was all over, Kevin went out of the house angrily and he felt that no onecould understand him. Probably, the fact that his had passed away had stunned him. Rebecca caught up with him immediately. They talked in the park near their house. Probably this park made them think of the time when their father was alive. Also maybe the park brought back the memory of their childhood. Usually, when we talk about one place, we often remember the pleasant days when we stay there. Meanwhile, the palce also remains us of the people we spend together.Q34. Do you think Jack and Sandy ever had love?A34. There was no doubt that they had ever loved with each other before. Jack lost his job recently and he felt pretty upset. Drinking alcohol all day had made him quite mad, so he hit Sandy whenever he wanted. At first, truly I can understand his feel, because it is during the most difficult times in his life. However what he should not do was that he always hit Sandy. Finally Sandy could not stand it and ready to move out. When Sandy wanted to do that, he tried to persuade her to stay. If they never loved with each other, how could they become together right now. Of course, this is just the personal idea. The writer‟s main purpose to tell this story is that it can stand in sharp contrast to the love between Rebecca and her lover.Q35. How did Rebecca, Kevin, and Sandy each change differently during the episode?A35. Rebecca decided to stay with her brother Kevin wherever he wanted. I thought her decision was right, and Kevin really needed her love in the coming future. Kevin finally made up his mind to go out to the farm for a while. All the people were excited about his choice. Having considered that the shelter would not let her saty forever, Sandy was in a position where she had to force a decision. She could not want to endure these pains any more. So she accepted Rebecca‟s offer to stay at her apartment and eventually she said goodbye to Jack. Jack was brought in first and was detained for a night.Q36. Why does Kevin feel compelled to help Brendan? What is his big plan, besides helping his uncle?A36. Firstly, for Uncle Brendan said this was a bad year for the farm. They were losing money and he was ready to lay off one of the farmhands. Kevin wanted to give a hand to his uncle. In addition, Uncle Bredan was his father‟s brother, Kevin loved him and might regarded him as his real father. What he wanted to see at present was that all his relatives lived happily and healthily.Kevin would like to stay on the farm for a while. He figured that he could help Uncle Brendan out on the farm, and he really wanted Rebecca to go back to the collage. If he stayed on the farm, he could also get to know his long-lost family as well as saving money for college.Episodes 37-40 (Thanksgiving, Starting over, The pressure's on, Sharing feelings) Q37. Who does Brendon talk to in his prayer and why?A37. He talked to Rebecca and Kevin in his prayer and he would like to give them a warm welcome. Since it was a special Thanksgiving, as their uncle, he wanted toshow more care and love to them so that they would feel like staying at their own home. He would like to propose a toast to their new czousins from Boston to welcome them. He thought that he would turn it over to his darling daughter Kate, who was never at a loss for words. Kate would like to lead them in the Thanksgiving prayer. She said that “Good bread, good meat, good lord.Let's eat”!Q38. What caused Nancy‟s broken relationship with Patrick and why?A38. During the past, before Patrick got married with Rebecca‟s mother. Nancy always told Rebecca‟s mother that Brendan was the man for her, and Patrick was not suitable for her. When Patrick found that out he got very angry at Nancy. So he broke relationship with Nancy since that time. However, finally after all Patrick got married with her. So we can conclude that if two people really fall in love with each other, no on or other obstacles can prevent them from loving each other. Maybe the charm of love lies in the mysteriousness and spontaneousness, requiring no reasons, regardless of losses and gains, and anything else.Q39. Why is Alberto so insensitive to Rebecca‟s need to study?A39. Alberto got two seats to the opera as the Christmas bonus. The tickets was in Grand Tier, Row A and it was just what he needed for a special friend. Obviously, a spcial friend referred to Rebecca. Rebecca was supposed to go out to see the opera with Alberto that night, but her schoolwork got in the way. Alberto thought that she was all tied up with her music and it seemed that there was little to do with his life. Rebecca seemed showed no interest in Alberto and it made Alberto lose his patient gradually. I thought that Rebecca just treated Alberto as his best friend, however Alberto regared her as his loved one.Q40. What similarities and differences does Bill share with his parents?A40. Bill was Rebecca‟s classmates who had great interest in the rock music. He held the viewpoint that rock is where the money is these days. He had got the plan that somewhen he would pitch his songs to the moles. Bill‟s parents thought that he would never make money by playing in a band. He had to go to college and do something respectable. However Bill had his own opinion, saying that he played music just for himself and what he wanted to do was playing his own music rather than going to school. He made a deal with Rebecca that he helped her with music course. Rebecca must come with him to the audition, as his backup singer.Episodes 41-44 (Unexpected offers, The audition, Dreamcatcher, Gifts)Q41. Do you agree with Vincent's father about foreigners? Why or why not?A41. I don‟t agree with Vincent‟s father about foreigners. He thought that Vincent's friends were not always his friends in America and they hurt Vincent by calling his names. Moreover, those words also hurt him and his wife. Truly, it seems that discrimination still existed in some countries. However, most of the people in the world have tried their best to eliminate this phenomenon. In the story, Rebecca and other teachers took the right measures to educate the children so that they could face。

新概念英语二56课课文
新概念英语二56课课文：The Power of Perseverance in Overcoming ChallengesIn the 56th lesson of New Concept English II, we are introduced to the story of a determined individual who, despite facing significant challenges, perseveres in his pursuit of a goal. This narrative resonates deeply with the theme of perseverance and its indispensable role in overcoming obstacles in life.The protagonist of the story is a man who is determined to learn to swim. Initially, he finds himself struggling in the water, unable to master the basic skills of swimming. His attempts are fraught with difficulties, and he repeatedly fails to achieve his desired progress. However, instead of giving up, he chooses to persevere, determined to overcome his challenges.His perseverance is not without its costs. He spends countless hours practicing in the water, enduring the discomfort and frustration that accompany his efforts. He falls, he gets tired, and he even feels discouraged at times. But he never allows these setbacks to deter him fromhis goal. Instead, he uses them as fuel to push himself harder and strive for improvement.Gradually, his perseverance begins to pay off. With each passing day, he notices subtle improvements in his swimming ability. His strokes become smoother, his breathing more controlled, and his confidence grows. He starts to enjoy the feeling of moving through the water, and his initial struggles become a distant memory.The story ends on a triumphant note, with the protagonist finally achieving his goal of becoming a competent swimmer. His journey is a testament to the power of perseverance in overcoming challenges. It demonstrates that with enough determination and effort, even the most daunting tasks can be accomplished.The lesson of this story is not limited to the realm of swimming. It applies to all aspects of life, where we are constantly faced with challenges and obstacles that test our resilience and determination. Whether it's learning a new skill, pursuing a career goal, or overcoming personal difficulties, perseverance is the key to success.Perseverance helps us to stay focused on our goals, even when faced with setbacks and difficulties. It allows us to learn from our mistakes, adapt to new situations, and find new ways to approach problems. It builds our character and strengthens our resilience, making us more capable of handling whatever life throws at us.Moreover, perseverance fosters a sense of accomplishment and pride. When we persevere through difficulties and ultimately achieve our goals, we feel a sense of fulfillment and satisfaction that is unparalleled. This sense of achievement not only boosts our self-esteem but also encourages us to continue striving for even greater things in the future.In conclusion, the 56th lesson of New Concept EnglishII teaches us an important lesson about perseverance. It reminds us that success often comes to those who refuse to give up, even when faced with significant challenges. By persevering in our efforts and remaining determined to achieve our goals, we can overcome any obstacle and achieve our dreams.**文章标题**：毅力在克服困难中的力量在《新概念英语二》第56课中，我们认识到了一个决心坚定的个体，他尽管面临着重重挑战，却坚持不懈地追求着自己的目标。

tpo56 阅读-2 Representative Government in Colonial North America原文 (1)译文 (2)题目 (4)答案 (7)背景知识 (8)原文Representative Government in Colonial North America①Before 1750, colonists in North America had little occasion to think of themselves as a distinct people. There was no American government, no single political organization in which all the colonies joined to manage their common concerns. There was not even a wish for such an organization except among a few eccentric individuals. America, to the people who lived in it, was still a geographic region, not a frame of mind.②Asked about nationality, the typical American colonist of 1750 would have said English or British. In spite of substantial numbers of Dutch, Germans, and Scotch-Irish, English people and English institutions prevailed in every colony, and most colonists spoke of England as home even though they had never been there. Yet no American institutions were quite like their counterparts in England; the heritage of English ideas that went with these institutions was so rich and varied that colonists were able to select and develop those that best suited their situation and forget others that meanwhile were growing prominent in the mother country. This variety sometimes led to regional differences: in some ways New Englanders were set off from Virginians even more than from people in England. But some ideas, institutions, and attitudes became common in all the colonies and remained uncommon in England. Although colonial Englishmen were not yet aware that they shared these Americanisms with one another or that English people in England did not share them, many of the characteristic ideas and attitudes that later distinguished United States nationalism were already present by the mid-eighteenth century.③English people brought with them to the New World the political ideas that still give English and American government a close resemblance. But American colonists very early developed conceptions of representative government in which citizens choose officials who create policies and legislation that differed from thosein England. Representative government in England originated in the Middle Ages, when the king called for men to advise him. They were chosen by their neighbors and informed the king of his subjects’wishes. Eventually, their advice became so compelling that the king could not reject it, and the representatives of the people, organized as a legislature known as the House of Commons, became the most powerful branch of the English government.④At first, the House of Commons consisted of representatives from each county, or shire, and from selected boroughs. Over the centuries many of these boroughs became ghost towns with only a handful of inhabitants, and great towns sprang up where none had existed before. Yet the old boroughs continued to send members to the House of Commons, and the new towns sent none. Moreover, only a fraction of the English population could participate even in county elections. In order to vote, a man had to own property that would, if rented, yield him at least 40 shillings yearly. Few could meet the test. A number of English people thought the situation absurd and said so. But nothing was done to improve it; in fact, a theory was devised to justify it. A member of the House of Commons, it was said, represented not the people who chose him but the whole country, and he was not responsible for any particular constituency. Not all Englishmen could vote for representatives, but all were virtually represented by every member of the Commons.⑤The assemblies of American colonial representatives were more democratic. Although every colony had property qualifications for voting, probably the great majority of adult white males owned enough land to meet them. Moreover, the system for apportioning representation was more balanced. New England colonies gave every town the right to send delegates to the legislature. Outside New England, the unit of representation was usually the county. The political organization of new counties and the extension of representation seldom kept pace with the rapid advance of settlement westward, but nowhere was representation so uneven or irrational as in England.⑥American colonists knew nothing of virtual representation. A colonial representative was supposed to be an agent of the people who chose him. He was supposed to look after their interests first and those of the colony second. In New England, where town meetings could be called at any time, people often gathered to tell their delegate how to vote on a particular issue.译文北美殖民地的代议制政府①1750年以前，北美的殖民者很少有机会把自己看作是一个独立的民族。

简明新全球史5 6 章内容概括
简明新全球史5 6 章内容概括英文版Chapter 5 of "A Brief History of the World" discusses the Age of Exploration, a period in history when European explorers set out to discover new lands and trade routes. This era saw the rise of powerful empires such as Spain and Portugal, who sought to expand their influence and wealth through overseas exploration. Explorers like Christopher Columbus, Vasco da Gama, and Ferdinand Magellan played key roles in this period, opening up new trade routes and connecting the world in ways that had never been done before.Chapter 6 of the book shifts focus to the Enlightenment, a period of intellectual and philosophical growth in Europe during the 17th and 18th centuries. This era saw the rise of new ideas about government, society, and individual rights, with thinkers like John Locke, Voltaire, and Jean-Jacques Rousseau leading the way. The Enlightenment laid the groundwork for many of the political and social changes that would come in the centuries that followed, shaping the modern world in fundamental ways.These two chapters provide a fascinating look at two key periods in world history, exploring the ways in which exploration and intellectual growth have shaped the world we live in today.中文版《简明全球史》第5章讨论了探险时代，这是历史上欧洲探险家开始探索新大陆和贸易路线的时期。
