Unit 1Key to ExercisesPart I Pre-Reading TaskScript for the recording:Ways of learning is the topic of this unit. It is also the topic of the song you are about to listen to, called Teach Your Children sung by Crosby, Stills and Nash.Teach Your ChildrenCrosby, Stills and NashYou, who are on the road,Must nave a code that you can live by.And so, become yourselr,Because the past is just a goodbye.Teach your cbildren well,Their lather's hell did slowly go by.And reed them on your dreams,The one they picks, the one you'll mow by.Don't you ever ash them why, ir they told you, you will cry, So just look at them and sigh and know they love you.Appendix I - 93 -And you, oi tender years,Can't know the rears that your elders grew by.Ana so please help them with your youtb,They seek the truth before tbey can die.Teacb your parents well,Tbeir children's bell will slowly go by.And reed them on your dreams,Tbe one tbey picks, tbe one you'll know by.Don t you ever ask them why, ir tbey told you, you will cry, So just look at them and sigh and know tbey love you.The first part of die song is about how parents can inspire their children through sharing with them their dreams, their hopes for a better life. It starts with advice on how you need a set of rules, "a code diat you can live by," to guide you on the road of life. Only then will you be able to fully realise all that is within you and "become yourself." Therefore, parents need to teach their children well.And children — "you of tender years" — also have something to teach their parents, for learning is not a one-way street. Children should share their own dreams with their parents so that young and old can get to understand each otiier better.That said, one should not go too far. For some things are perhaps better left unsaid between parents and children. "Don't you ever ask them why, if they told you, you will cry." At such moments all that there is left to do is to look at one another and sigh, happy in each otiier's love.Part II Text A Text Organization1. 1) The text begins with an anecdote/incident.2) His thoughts are mainly about different approaches to learning in China and the West.3) He winds up the text with a suggestion in die form of a question.Points forComparison/ContrastChinese Americans1) ways to learn to accomplish a task show a child how to dosomething, or teach byholding his handteach children thatthey should rely onthemselves forsolutions to problems2) attitudes to creativity and skills give greater priorityto developing skillsat an early age,put more emphasis onfostering creativityin young children,believing creativity can be promoted over time thinking skills can be picked up later1.

You can't accomplish your goal of mastering the language unless you work at it for years. Well, it sounds as ifI'm exaggerating the difficulties, but the fact is I'm only telling the truth.2) The principal is somewhat disappointed with the performance of the children. From what she has gathered, some of the teaching staff have neglected their pupils. She has just announced that strict work regulations have been made and that they applyto both Chinese and overseas teachers.3) The teacher-directed and the child-directed approaches to teaching art represent two extremes of opinion. Too many teacher-directed activities cannot be expected to effectively assist children in learning because of the rigid structure. On the other hand, too many child-directed activities may see a curriculum that is totally unstructured and out of control. There are valid reasons to believe a teacher-guided approach would be a superior way to guide children's development. This approach combines some form of structure with the child leading the direction.II.

Besides, learning by heart as many well-written essays as possible is also very important. Without an enormous store of good English writing in your head you cannot express yourself freely in English. It is also helpful to summarize our experience as we go along, for in so doing, we can figure out which way of learning is more effective and will produce the most desirable result. As long as we keep working hard on it, we will in due course accomplish the task of mastering English.U2Text AA Life Full of RichesI. Vocabulary1.

Translate the passageThough how the English language came into existence remains a mystery to many people, linguists believe that English and most other European languages have descended from a common source: the Indo-European parent language. English was first spoken by the Anglo-Saxons who invaded England in the fifth century. They passed onto us the basic vocabulary of English. In over fifteen centuries of its development, English has enriched itself by massive borrowing. As British immigrants landed in America and established the United States as an independent nation, a new variety was added to the English language: American English. Though some people worry that the language is running out of control, many native speakers of English take pride in the tolerance of their language.。

You can't accomplish your goal of mastering the language unless you work at it for years. Well, it sounds as if I'm exaggerating the difficulties, but the fact is I'm only telling thetruth.2) The principal is somewhat disappointed with the performance of the children. From what she has gathered, some of the teaching staff have neglected their pupils. She has just announced that strict work regulations have been madeand that they apply to both Chinese and overseas teachers.3) The teacher-directed and the child-directed approaches to teaching art represent two extremes of opinion. Too many teacher-directed activities cannot be expected to effectively assisLchildren in learning because of the rigid structure. On the other hand, too many child-directed activities may see a curriculum that is totally unstructured and out of control. There are valid reasons to believe a teacher-guided approach would be a superior way to guide children's development. This approach combines some form of structure with the child leading the direction.II.

Here I would like to make three relevantpoints.First, wide reading should be taken as a priority in the learning process, because it is through reading that we get the most language input. Next, learning by heart as many well-written essays as possible is also very important. On the one hand, rote learning/learning by rote is indeed of little help, but on the other hand, memorization/learning by heart with a good understanding will certainly be of benefit/do good to us. With an enormous store of excellent essays in our heads, we will find it much easier to express ourselves in English. Finally, it is critical that we should put what we have learned into practice. By doing more reading, writing, listening and speaking, we will be able to accomplish the task of perfecting our English.Part III TextBComprehension Check1. c2. c3. d4. a5. c6. bTranslationLanguagePractice1. adopt3. plus5. furthermore7. annual9. pace11. on demand13. perspective15. fell apart17. access19. deposit2. account4. ended up6. fund8. keeping track of10. intends12. devise14. undoubtedly16. protest18. resources20. from your point of viewPart IV Theme-Related Language Learning TasksModel paperHow I Learn at CollegeI went to school in a small town near Chengdu and now I am studying law at Fudan University in Shanghai. Passing from one to the other you have to get used to many new things, not the least being the different way of learning.At school I found my timetable full throughout the day. One lesson came close on the heels ofanother with little time to call one's own. At university, in contrast, only a few hours of each day aretaken up with classes or lectures. In the time made available you are expected to learn on your own.When and where is up to you. At the same time what you are meant to learn shifts from memorizingmasses of facts to developing an ability to understand theories and present arguments. There are, ofcourse, still facts to be learned. One should not exaggerate the differences. Nevertheless, learning at university certainly teaches me greater self-reliance and to think for myself.

In the evening, I will again sit by my computer and roam the world. The Internet brings me live World Cup football games and the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center. It also enables me to communicate with my friends via email. The other day I got a message from an old classmate whom I hadn't heard from for years. She got my email address just by searching the website of my university! In addition to helping us keep up old ties, it also brings me new friends with whom I meet virtually in chat rooms. We exchange views on topics of interest and pour our hearts out to one another like intimate friends.So, instead of isolating us from one another, the Internet serves to shorten or eliminate distance,and helps to bring friends closer.

It involves the ability to plan and prioritize tasks effectively in order to make the most of the limited time available. In the context of university studies, timemanagement becomes even more significant as students are faced with multiple deadlines and a multitude of responsibilities.Having effective time management skills allows students to achieve a balance between their academic and personal lives. By carefully planning their schedules, students can allocate sufficient time for studying, attending classes, and completing assignments, while also having time for extracurricular activities and socializing. Without proper time management, students often find themselves overwhelmed with a backlog of tasks, leading to stress, anxiety, and a decline in their academic performance.One key aspect of time management is the ability to prioritize tasks according to their importance and deadlines. By identifying the most urgent and significant tasks, students can allocate additional time and resources to ensure that these tasks are completed on time and to a high standard. Prioritization also helps students avoid wasting time on less important tasks and allows them to focus their energy on tasks that will contribute the most to their academic success.Another essential component of time management is effective planning and organization. Students should create a weekly or monthly schedule that includes all their academicand personal commitments. This allows them to have a clear overview of their upcoming tasks and helps them avoid last-minute rushes or missed deadlines. Breaking down larger tasks into smaller, manageable parts can also make them less overwhelming and easier to accomplish.In addition to planning and prioritizing, time management also involves self-discipline and the ability to resist distractions. With the advent of technology, students are often tempted to spend excessive amounts of time on social media or other online activities, which can severely impact their productivity. Developing the discipline to set aside specific time slots for leisure activities and sticking to those schedules can greatly enhance productivity and make better use of time.In conclusion, time management is an essential skill for university students to develop in order to succeed academically and maintain a balanced lifestyle. By planning, prioritizing, and organizing their tasks effectively, students can optimize their productivity, reduce stress, and achieve their goals. With proper time management, students can make the most of their university experience and set themselves up for future success.。

Translate the passageThough how the English language came into existence remains a mystery to many people, linguists believe that English and most other European languages have descended from a common source: the Indo-European parent language. English was first spoken by the Anglo-Saxons who invaded England in the fifth century. They passed onto us the basic vocabulary of English. In over fifteen centuries of its development, English has enriched itself by massive borrowing. As British immigrants landed in America and established the United States as an independent nation, a new variety was added to the English language: American English. Though some people worry that the language is running out of control, many native speakers of English take pride in the tolerance of their language.Unit8 Protecting Our EnvironmentLanguage Sense Enhancement1.
