Unit 6 Transportation and ShipmentRelated Information1. Ship StructureShips are the conveyances running at sea. There are large size and small size ships. However, their structures are almost the same. They are mainly composed of shell, frame, deck, holds and tanks, and the superstructure.2. Ship TypesThere are many types of ships that transport cargoes at sea. According to their use, the cargo ships can be divided into dry cargo ships and tankers.Dry Cargo ShipAccording to the loaded cargo, structure and components, dry cargo ships can be divided into such as follows:①General cargo shipGeneral cargo ships refer to the ships that run termly in the busy cargo transporting shipping lines and mainly transport grocery. The speed of these ships is fast.②Bulk cargo shipBulk cargo ships refer to the ships that transport bulk cargoes without packaging. According to the types of transported cargoes, bulk cargo ships can be divided into grain ships, colliers and ore ships.③Refrigerated shipRefrigerated ships refer to the special ships for transporting refrigerant cargoes that are perishable. There are refrigeration systems in the ships, and the temperature in the ship can be set to meet the requirements of cargoes in each floor.④Container shipContainer ships can be divided into partial container ships, complete or full container ships and variable or convertible container ships.⑤Roll on/roll off shipRolling loading ships are mainly for transporting cars and containers. Loading devices are not necessary for these ships. Usually, uncorked slope is installed on the side or in either end of the ship to join the ship to the dock. While loading and unloading cargoes, cars or trail cars can directly drive into or out of the ship cabins.Tanker①Oil Tanker is a cargo ship designed to carry crude oil in bulk②Liquefied natural gas carrier is a cargo ship designed specially to carry liquefied natural gas.3. Ship TonnageShip tonnage is the unit for calculating ship size, which can be divided into two classes: weight tonnage and dimension tonnage.Weight TonnageShip weight tonnage is the unit for calculating ship weight. 1,000 kilograms is used as 1metric ton, 2,240 pounds as 1 long ton, or 2,000 pounds as 1 short ton. Presently, the metric system is usually applied as the calculating unit. Ship weight tonnage can also be divided into two classes: displacement tonnage and dead weight tonnage.①Displacement tonnageDisplacement tonnage is the number of tons of water weight that a ship in the water displaces, which are also the tons of the ship weight.②Dead weight tonnage-D.W.T.D.W.T. sometimes termed deadweight carrying capacity, refers to the carrying capacity of a ship in transportation. It comprises the cargo, stores, ballast, fresh water, fuel oil, passengers, crew and their effects. It can be divided into two classes: gross D.W.T. and net D.W.T.Gross Dead Weight Tonnage:It refers to the maximum loaded weight that is restricted with the loaded line. It is the total of the weight of loaded cargoes, necessary fuel, freshwater and other spare material.Net Dead Weight Tonnage or Dead Weight Cargo Tonnage—D.W.C.T.:It refers to the maximum weight of loaded cargoes that a ship is capable of transporting. It is also called loaded cargo tonnage. It is the margin of the amount of necessary storage of fuel, freshwater and other spare material subtracted from the total of shipload.Registered TonnageRegistered tonnage is the unit used in ship registration in marine countries, which takes ton as the computing unit. One registered ton is equal to 100 cubic feet or 2.83 cubic meters. Ships’ dimension tonnage can also be divided into gross and net registered tonnage.①Gross registered tonnage (GRT)Also called gross dimension tonnage, it refers to the total inner space or volume of all closed sites in the spaces on board.②Net registered tonnage (NRT)Also called net dimension tonnage, it refers to the difference between the gross tonnage minus the amount of space that is not used for shipping cargoes. It is the equivalent cargo tonnage that the ship can be loaded.Lead-in1. ListeningPassage 11.A2.C3.BTape Script:In shipping goods abroad, the exporter has various alternative methods. These include ship, truck, rail, air and parcel post.The choice will depend on the nature of the product (light or heavy, fragile or sturdy, perishable or durable, high or low in value per cubic meter, etc), the distance to be shipped, available means of transportation, and relative freight costs.For goods having high weight or cubic capacity or value ratio, the usual method of shipping overseas is by ocean cargo vessel. However, when speed is essential, air cargo may be preferred, although more expensive. For example, ski jackets are shipped from Germany to Japan by sea but towards the end of the ski season, air cargo is used.Passage 21. C2. ATape Script:There are many factors that buyers shall take into consideration, they are:Quick. Because foreign buyers, in making a decision to purchase, will be taking into account the exporter’s delivery time. Fast delivery is obviously an important “competitive edge” for an exporter. Of course, the actual delivery date will depend on stock, production as well as shipping time.Carefully. Because the foreign buyer all wants to receive the goods intact. In this way, the exporter gains customer satisfaction and avoids trouble and expenses of filling insurance claims and reshapping all or part of the order.Economically. Because the freight cost can be a substantial part of the final export price. The lower the freight cost, the more competitive the export price quotation.2. Spot DictationPart 11. F2. T3. TTape Script:It is normally best to use ships to transport heavy or bulky goods and liquids. Here, reasonable speed and safety is combined with a relatively economical cost. In shipping your goods by sea, you can choose from different types of ocean shipping: Conference Lines, Non conference Lines, Trump Shipping Lines, or the National Flag Lines.Part 21. transport heavy or bulky goods and liquids2. reasonable speed and safety3.

Are teachers proud of their educational achievement with their students according to professor Jocab Neusner ?
Sample
No, they take no pride in their educational achievement with their students. The speaker thinks that they have prepared students for a world that does not exist and students have spent four years supposing that failure leaves no record, which is not true in the world, so he says there is nothing to take pride in.

新编大学英语第四版四Unit 6 7 9背诵部分翻译加原文

Unit 6[4] All of this is another way of saying that nothing we do is completely safe.There are risks, often potentially serious ones, associated with every hobby we have, every job we take, every food we eat—in other words, with every action.But the fact that there are risks associated with everything we are going to do does not, or should not, reduce us to trembling neurotics. Some actions are riskier than others.The point is to inform ourselves about the relevant risks and then act accordingly[N].4 上面说的这一切，只是从另一角度说明我们所做的事没有一件是百分之百安全的。

有些风险——常常是潜在的重大风险——与我们的每个业余爱好、所做的每项工作、所吃的每种食物有关，换句话说，与所进行的任何活动有关。

但我们又不能，也不该因危险存在于我们将要做的每件事，而变成战战兢兢的神经症患者。

有些活动是比其它活动更危险。

关键在于要让自己了解相应的风险，然后相机行事。

8] Once we understand that risk can never be totally eliminated from any situation and that, therefore, nothing is completely safe, we will then see that the issue is not one of avoiding risks altogether but rather one of managing risks in a sensible way[N].Risk management requires two things: common sense and information about the character and degree of the risks we may be running.8 我们一旦明白了风险是永远无法从任何情况中完全去除的，因而就没有绝对安全的事，我们也就会明白问题的关键不是要彻底避免风险，而是要理智地管理风险。

（完整word版）新标准大学英语四综合教程Unit1-6课文及翻译If you ask me1If you ask me, real life is not all it's cracked up to be. Twelve years at school and three years at university, teachers banging on about opportunities in the big wide world beyond our sheltered life as students, and what do I find?2 Try as I might to stay cheerful, all I ever get is hassle, sometimes with people (especially boys, god, when will they grow up?), but mostly with money. It's just so expensive out here! Everyone wants a slice off you. The Inland Revenue wants to deduct income tax, the bank manager wants repayments on my student loan, the landlord wants the rent, gas, water, electricity and my mobile bills keep coming in, and all that's before I've had anything to eat. And then some bright spark calls me out of the blue, asking if I'm interested in buying a pension. At this rate, I won't even last till the end of the year, let alone till I'm 60.3 I didn't really want to go out to work just yet. I mean, I wasn't a dropout and I knew I'd have to some day. According to any number of people "life's not a picnic", "there's no such thing as a free lunch". But given that I'd got a good degree, I thought I'd like to go on to get my master's. Actually, I had my eye on the course at the London School of Economics (LSE) . Top school, very good for my CV. But I talked to my mum about it, and she said she couldn't afford to support me any more. I kind of understand it, and not just because my degree is in economics. She'd worked hard for 15 years to give me an education. My dad wasn't around most of the time, and when he was, he didn't have any money. He'd spent it gambling on the dogs or down the pub. So it cameto the point when I just agreed with Mum, and bowed myself towards the inevitable.4 If you ask me, and despite everything you hear, fortunately there are some really nice people out there. Take Mike, for example. When I left university, what I thought was that my mum would feel obliged to look after me if I returned home. So I packed up my belongings and went to London to get a job. I wanted something in finance and investments, because you know, maybe with a job like that, I could use my degree. But by that time, there were no jobs left, and I didn't really want to end up in some boring office, doing photocopies and making the tea.5 Go anywhere you like in London and there's usually a good pub. The day I realized no one in the city was going to offer me a job, I went into The Salisbury on Leadenhall Street for a drink and something to eat. Mike the landlord was at the bar, pouring pints with one hand, making sandwiches with the other, and washing the glasses all at the same time—it's true, he really did seem to have three hands. He also seemed to know everyone, and greeted the regulars by name, getting their drinks ready with the question, "The usual today, is it?" I thought he looked kind of cool, he was doing what he did best, serving thirsty clients, and no one did it better. So I went up to him and asked him whether there was a job for me.6 Well, to cut a long story short, I started work in the pub one Friday lunch time. It was quite demanding work, but I liked it. People seemed to find me amusing and it made me feel better too. There was one middle-aged regular in a suit who always had a half of bitter and a ham and pickle sandwich, with the crusts cut off. When I saw Tony coming, I tried to have his lunch ready for him even before he asked. He was another one of those reallynice people.7 If you ask me, spending money when you don't have any is dead easy. I began to think about how I'd spend my first month's wages. The flat where I was staying was expensive, and I just about had enough to cover the first month's substantial bills. But I calculated that there'dbe just enough money over to treat myself to something. Why not get a CD or maybe a plant to cheer up the flat? I thought.8 It was my birthday on pay day. Apart from Mike and T ony,I didn't have any friends in London. Seeing that I didn't have a boyfriend either, you can understand why I began to feel sorry for myself. So I ordered myself some flowers, and asked them to be sent with a little card, saying "With all my love Anon." The highlight of my birthday would be the confused look on the florist's eyes when he delivered them.9 Later that week, Tony came in as usual and sat down at the bar. "What's wrong with you? Where's that smile gone today?" I talked to him about... well, about pretty well everything, money, the master's, my birthday, the lot. He sympathized with me.10 Tony got up from his stool, and went over to talk to some of the others. Remember: The Salisbury is right in the heart of the city, so all the customers were in banking or insurance or the stock market. Next day he turned up with cheques to the value of ￡20,000. "This is a loan for you to set up your business. The only collateral you have is my trust in you that one day, you'll pay us back—if you can. And if you can't, too bad, that's the finance business for you. But I think you will."11 I didn't say anything for fear that I was going to cry. What were the odds on anyone being so nice?12 And the flowers? I redirected them to my mum, and theyarrived for her on my birthday. She deserved them, don't you think?13 If you ask me, looking back after all these years, you only need one or two breaks in your life to succeed. The fact that the rest is hard work doesn't matter, it's still worth it.14 After a year working at The Salisbury, I got a place at the LSE, did my master's and found a job in an investment bank. I in vested the ￡20,000, and sold out before the 2008 crash.I paid back Tony and the other investors, with ten per cent annual interest, and set up my own firm. It exceeded all my expectations and is still a thriving business.15 Tony wrote me a thank-you note. He'd been in a car accident, and couldn't walk. The money I paid back would allow him to adapt his house so he could move around it in his wheelchair. This is what he wrote:16 "Thirty-five years in banking, and I've never made a better investment than the loan to you. You've repaid the money with interest, and my trust in you and your honesty 100-fold. If you ask me, investing in people gives the best return you can ever hope for."17 If you ask me, he's right. What do you think?依我看依我看，现实生活并没有人们想象的那么好。

新编大学英语(第三版浙江大学编著)4视听说教程原文Unit 6

新编大学英语（第三版/浙江大学编著）4视听说教程原文Unit6Part1Listening 1Husband: Oh! It’s unbelievable!Wife: What’s the matter?Husband: The article says that lifespan varies according to race, income level and whether you are male or female. Now, can you guess which is the most important factor?Wife: Hmm, I think it might be the sex.Husband: That’s right! My grandma lived four years longer than my grandpa. Generally speaking, women live longer than men. In 1993, the average lifespan of women was 6.9 years longer than that of men in the United States.Wife: 6.9 years! I can’t believe it. Then how about race?Husband: About race, the paper says white women live 5.1 years longer than black women. Wife: So this means I am doubly lucky since I am a white woman.Husband: Yes. But actually the largest risk you could run is being poor. Being poor is far more likely to kill you than smoking, drinking, a hereditary disease, or an unhealthy lifestyle.Wife: That’s true. If you are poor, you may not have good living conditions, good medical care and good nutrition. But still I have a question. Why do women live longer than men?Husband: I think you’d better ask the experts.Listening 2The possibility that something bad will happen is a risk. Risk can also be defined as the degree of danger that goes along with an opportunity. All risks have possible negative results. However, some risks are worth taking. For example, suppose that you have the chance to join a school football team. You risk a possible injury while playing to achieve the sense of accomplishment that comes with being on the team. You decide that the pleasure of playing is worth the risk of injury. By being fit, you can also reduce the risk of physical injury.How can we determine the risks involved in an action? Many risks that relate to health choices have been studied. These risks relate to choices made over activities or behavior that influence one’s health, either positively or negatively. Scientists can use statistics to measure these risks. Statistics is a branch of mathematics that helps determine the possibility that something willoccur. The information about this possibility is called statistical risk and can help you make healthy choices.For example, statistics indicate that in the United States the chance of dying from cancer is about 20 percent. In other words, two out of every 10 deaths are due to some kind of cancer. Therefore, the risk of death from cancer is quite high. However, statistics also show that 80 percent of all cancers are related to things over which you have some control. In other words, you can make choices that will reduce your risk of developing cancer. These include such things as avoiding pollution, not smoking and eating a diet high in fiber. If you do these things, you are less likely to develop cancer.Listening 3If you plan to go hiking in the wilderness or a national park, make sure you are prepared. A compass, a knife, and maps are all essential items to take with you. You should also take wooden matches in a waterproof case; some concentrated food such as nuts and dried fruit and water in a canteen. Plan for emergencies as well. Take along first-aid equipment, shelter for the rain, and extra clothes. In order to stay warm, your head, hands and feet must be kept warm, so you should bring gloves, extra socks and a wool hat.If you get lost in the woods, first try to backtrack and find the trail you were on. Look for trail signs other people may have left, such as piles of rocks, tied bunches of grass, or broken branches. Sit down and try to figure out which direction you came from and then go back that way.If you can’t find the trail, try to explore the area, making your path as you go. Climb a tree and look for landmarks. During the day, look for roads or rooftops in the distance. At night, look for lights and sniff the air. You may be able to smell smoke from a campfire. If you detect any of these signs, start to walk in their direction, but if it is dark, find shelter for the night and wait until the morning. Even a full moon won’t give you enough light to see; it can throw shadows that hide dangers.If you are lost, do not expect to be rescued. Even if someone knows you are lost and sends out a search party, it may not find you. Therefore, if you can get out on your own, do so. However, if you cannot move far for some reason, build a bright fire at night and a smoky one during the day. Try to clear an area that can be seen from the air, and use rocks to write a message. You can also use bright colors, shiny metal or mirrors to signal aircraft. Above all, do not panic.Listening 4I’ve been in a lot of dangerous situations. Over in Bolivia, for example, I was working for a small airline, and we carried just about everything: animals, whisky, dynamite, and, of course, people. There were times when I felt I was flying a bomb, not a place. Once I was taking dynamite to the mines. Dynamite! Man, I had never seen so much. They had even put some on the floor right next to me. I was certainly nervous on that trip. Well, I was flying over the mountains whensuddenly the engine stopped. Somehow I got my parachute on, and got down without the plane, but I was hurt. I was flying out there for about four days before they found me. They told me later that they had almost given me up for dead. Anyway, they got me back to the hospital, and three months later I was flying again. No, I’m not afraid of flying. But there’s a lot to worry about as a pilot.Part2Listening 1Balley: Hello, fire service.Grace: Oh, em, I’m ringing because I think there’s a fire in the house across the street. Smoke is coming out of the upstairs windows, and I can see flames too.Balley: Can you give me your name and address and telephone number, Madam?Grace: Yes. Grace Litton, 17 Mallett Street, Alford.Balley: I’m sorry. Can you spell Mallett, please?Grace: yes, M, A, double L, E, double T. The telephone number is 6943168. The fire’s in number 18, just across the road.Balley: Is anyone in the house?Grace: No, they’ve gone on holiday. They went to Bournemouth last Saturday, for two weeks. Balley: All right, Madam. We’ll send a fire engine up to Mallett Street straightaway.Grace: What shall I do? Shall I warn the neighbors?Balley: Yes, you’d better tell the people living next door, at number 16 and number 20. But don’t go into the house.Listening 2Six days ago, in Russia, a mine was flooded and lots of miners were trapped underground. Nobody knew how much air was inside and what the situation was for the tapped miners. Rescue teams tried every way to get some message from the miners, but it all seemed in vain. This caused worldwide concerns. The accident was reported by the world media. But this morning, to people’s great surprise, came the dramatic news that rescue teams had dug 60 meters and tunneled through. They had discovered survivors in the part of the mine not flooded. For the rest of the miners, however, those were really anxious moments. They had prepared themselves for the worst. Now suddenly there was hope that they could see their loved ones again. And then they too were rescued and brought out of the mine. Exhausted and wounded, they were not strong enough to wave to their relatives or friends. Wrapped with blankets, these survivors werecarefully handed over to the ambulances and taken to nearby hospital. However, not everyone survived. One miner was reported to have been found dead, another missing.Listening 3Joe Burns is a famous racing driver. He is being interviewed on a sports program.Reporter: You’ve had a very dangerous life, haven’t you, Joe? I mean, you’ve been almost killed several times?Joe: Yes. I suppose that’s right.Reporter: When was your worst accident?Joe: I’d say last year. It was during the British Grand Prix. I smashed into a wall. The car was completely ruined and my left leg was broken. Luckily, nobody was killed.Reporter: Is that the only time you’ve been close to death?Joe: No. Once, during the Mexican Grand Prix, two cars in front of me had a bad accident. One of them ran into the other. I swerved to avoid them and hit a fence. My car was badly damaged, but luckily, I wasn’t even hurt.Reporter: You must enjoy danger. I mean, you wouldn’t be a racing-driver otherwise?Joe: I don’t know about that. I had a very frightening experience quite recently. I was frightened to death! I thought I was going to be killed at any moment.Reporter: Really? Was that during your last race?Joe: No. It was on my way to this studio. I had to drive through London during rush hour.Listening 4On the morning of April 10, 1912, the luxury liner, Titanic, left English on a voyage to New York. Four days later, she lay at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean. On July 18, 1956, the ocean liner, Andrea Doria, left Italy. It was also traveling to New York. Eight days later, this great ship also lay at the bottom of the Atlantic.The sinking of these two huge ships shocked the world. Reports of the two tragedies filled the newspapers for days. When Andrea Doria went down, people compared her sinking with the sinking of Titanic. There were similarities between the two events; however, there were also important differences.What were some of these similarities? First of all, both ships were transatlantic ocean liners. In addition, they were both luxury liners. They carried many of the world’s rich and famous people. In fact, 10 American millionaires lost their lives when Titanic went down. Today, millions of dollars worth of gold, silver and cash may still remain locked inside these two sunken ships.Another similarity, is that as each ship was sinking, there were acts of heroism and of evil. Some people even gave up their lives so that others could live. There were also some people who acted like cowards. For example, one man on Titanic dressed up as a woman so that he could get into a lifeboat and save his own life. One last similarity, is that both of these ships were considered“unsinkable”. People believed that they would never sink.There are also differences between these great ship disasters. To begin with, Titanic was on her very first voyage across the Atlantic; Andrea Doria, on the other hand, was on her hundred and first transatlantic crossing. Another difference is that the ships sank for different reasons. Titanic struck an iceberg; while Andrea Doria collided with another ship. Also, Andrea Doria had radar to warn of the approach of another ship; but Titanic was not equipped with radar—It had only a lookout. The lookout was only able to see the iceberg moments before the ship struck it. But, of course, the greatest difference between these two terrible accidents is the number of lives lost. When Titanic sank, more than 1500 people died—They drowned or froze to death in the icy, North Atlantic water. Also, about 700 people survived the sinking. In the Andrea Doria accident, 60 people lost their lives, and around 1650 lives were saved. One of the reasons that so many people died on Titanic is that the ship was considered to be unsinkable, and so there were about half the number of necessary lifeboats to rescue all the people aboard. Andrea Doria had more than enough lifeboats to rescue every person on the ship. However, they were only able to use about half of the lifeboats due to a mechanical problem. The passengers and crew of Andrea Doria were very lucky that another ship was able to rescue most of them. The passengers on Titanic were not so fortunate. It is interesting too that the wreck of Titanic was only found in September, 1985.。

UNIT6课内阅读参考译文风险与你1 在说不定的某个时候，我们大家都曾充当过疑病症患者的角色，只凭一些轻微的症状便怀疑自己得了某种可怕的病。

有的人只要一听说一种新的疾病，就会去检查，看自己是否可能患了这种病。

然而，对疾病的恐惧并非我们唯一的恐惧。

同样，患病的危险也并非我们唯一会遇上的危险。

现代生活中充满了各种各样的威胁，诸如对我们生命的威胁，对我们平和心境的威胁，对我们家人的威胁，对我们未来的威胁。

从而产生了好些问题，我们不得不问自己：我买的食品安全吗?给孩子们的玩具会伤害他们吗?我们家的人是不是不该吃熏肉?我度假时会不会遭抢劫?我们的疑虑就无休止地增加。

2 对生活中风险的担忧与疑病症有相似之处；二者的恐惧或忧虑皆起因于信息不全面。

但二者之间也存在一个明显的差别。

疑病症患者通常可以求助于医生，以便澄清疑虑——要么你得了你所怀疑的疾病，要么你没得。

但当涉及到其他形式的风险时，事情就要困难得多，因为对许多风险来说，情况并不那么简单。

3 风险几乎总是一个可能性的问题而无确定性可言。

你也许会问：“我该不该系安全带?”如果你坐的车要与其他车正面相撞，那当然该系安全带。

倘若你的车侧面被撞，因安全带装置遭破坏而被困在车里，无法挣脱，那怎么办呢?这是否意味着你该再花些钱在车内安一个保险气袋呢?同样，在正面相撞的情况下，保险气袋完全可以救你一命。

但是，万一正当你在高速公路上开车时，保险气袋突然意外充气膨胀，从而导致了本来绝不会发生的事故，那又该如何是好?4 上面说的这一切，只是从另一角度说明我们所做的事没有一件是百分之百安全的。

有些风险——常常是潜在的重大风险——与我们的每个业余爱好、所做的每项工作、所吃的每种食物有关，换句话说，与所进行的任何活动有关。

但我们又不能，也不该因危险存在于我们将要做的每件事，而变成战战兢兢的神经症患者。

有些活动是比其他活动更危险。

关键在于要让自己了解相应的风险，然后相机行事。

5 例如，两车相撞时，大车总的说来要比小车安全些。

But then he'd always wanted to be a general. This ambition dated back to the days when he spent his school holidays playing with toy soldiers in the corridors of Blenheim Palace, below the tapestries of his heroic ancestors. He must have been delighted when, in 1911, he was made First Lord of the Admiralty – and even more so when the First World War offered him the opportunity to plan a major military offensive at Gallipoli, in 1915.

浙大版新编大学英语第四册课后答案

Unit 1课内阅读参考译文享受幽默——什么东西令人开怀?1 听了一个有趣的故事会发笑、很开心，古今中外都一样。

这一现象或许同语言本身一样悠久。

那么，到底是什么东西会使一个故事或笑话让人感到滑稽可笑的呢?2 我是第一次辨识出幽默便喜欢上它的人，因此我曾试图跟学生议论和探讨幽默。

这些学生文化差异很大，有来自拉丁美洲的，也有来自中国的。

我还认真地思考过一些滑稽有趣的故事。

这么做完全是出于自己的喜好。

3 为什么听我讲完一个笑话后，班上有些学生会笑得前仰后合，而其他学生看上去就像刚听我读了天气预报一样呢?显然，有些人对幽默比别人更敏感。

而且，我们也发现有的人很善于讲笑话，而有的人要想说一点有趣的事却要费好大的劲。

我们都听人说过这样的话：“我喜欢笑话，但我讲不好，也总是记不住。

”有些人比别人更有幽默感，就像有些人更具有音乐、数学之类的才能一样。

一个真正风趣的人在任何场合都有笑话可讲，而且讲了一个笑话，就会从他记忆里引出一连串的笑话。

一个缺乏幽默感的人不可能成为一群人中最受欢迎的。

一个真正有幽默感的人不仅受人喜爱，而且在任何聚会上也往往是人们注意的焦点。

这么说是有道理的。

4 甚至有些动物也具有幽默感。

我岳母从前经常来我们家，并能住上很长一段时间。

通常她不喜欢狗，但却很喜欢布利茨恩——我们养过的一条拉布拉多母猎犬。

而且，她们的这种好感是相互的。

布利茨恩在很小的时候就常常戏弄外祖母。

当外祖母坐在起居室里她最喜欢的那张舒适的椅子上时，布利茨恩就故意把她卧室里的一只拖鞋叼到起居室，并在外祖母刚好够不到的地方蹦来跳去，一直逗得外祖母忍不住站起来去拿那只拖鞋。

外祖母从椅子上一起来，布利茨恩就迅速跳上那椅子，从它那闪亮的棕色眼睛里掠过一丝拉布拉多式的微笑，无疑是在说：“啊哈，你又上了我的当。

”5 典型的笑话或幽默故事由明显的三部分构成。

第一部分是铺垫(即背景)，接下来是主干部分(即故事情节)，随后便是妙语(即一个出人意料或令人惊讶的结尾)。

今年大英四背诵1. The Power of a Note(U2) Para 11~18, 282 wordsWhat does it take to write letters that lift spirits and warm hearts? Only a willingness to express our appreciation. The most successful practitioners include what I call the four “S’s” of note writing.They are sincere. No one wants false praise.They are usually short. If you can’t say what you want to say in three sentences, you’re probably straining.They are specific. Complimenting a business colleague by telling him” good speech” is too vag ue;” great story about Warren Buffet’s investment strategy” is precise.They are spontaneous. This gives them the freshness and enthusiasm that will linger in the reader’s mind long afterward.It’s difficult to be spontaneous when you have to hunt for let ter-writing materials, so I keep paper, envelopes and stamps close at hand, even when I travel. Fancy stationery isn’t necessary; it’s the thought that counts.So, who around you deserves a note of thanks or approval? A neighbor, your librarian, a relative, your mayor, your mate, a teacher, your doctor? You don’t need to be poetic. If you need a reason, look for a milestone, the anniversary of a special event you shared, or a birthday or holiday. For the last 25 years, for example I’ve prepared an annual C hristmas letter for long-distance friends, and I often add a handwritten word of thanks or congratulations. Acknowledging some success or good fortune that has happened during the year seems particularly appropriate considering the spirit of the Christmas season.Be generous with your praise. Superlatives like” greatest,” ”smartest,” ”prettiest” make us all feel good. Even if your praise is a little ahead of reality, remember that expectations are often the parents of dreams fulfilled.怎样才能写出振奋精神、温暖人心的信呢？只要我们怀有要表示感激之情的心愿。

Whatever the boys do, the teacher will forgive them.

Anyone who benefits from creativity can discover a number of ways to approach problems and take advantage of the resources they have to produce original ideas.C: Well，personally，I think creativity is more important than knowledge ineducation. If you don’t create anything but only learn knowledge from your teacher, you are just repeating what others have already done. And no improvement will you make. Creativity is one thing that why we are different from others.D: Well .I keep the opposite opinion with you .I think knowledge should be emphasized in education. Knowledge is the key and basis of education. Everyone broadens their knowledge day by day, which makes our world richer.

We all should learn a lot before we try to use our creativity. Knowledge are the foundation of our creativity.B: I still persist in my former opinion.

And I think not only teacher can help us,but also parents can help us,too.C:yeah,you are right.parents have a great influence on their children. to encourage child’s creativity, parents must acknowledge what the children have been doing and do not stint their praise for their children. This will give the child much brave to do more.D: I agree with you,and then children may need correct direction and guidance. And it’s important to create an atmosphere in which there is no risk in being creative—a place where wild ideas are honored and valued never scorned or dismissed.A: Thirdly, keep learning. Parents themselves should be knowledgable to enable children listen to and follow their advice.B: Well, as far as I am concerned, having a sense of humor is also important in help to developing creativity in a child.C:and parents could help their kids to explore their interests. In order to develop creativity as they grow older, kids need to be exposed to a variety of things.D: in a way ,Parents are in an important role in showing their kids different ideas and possibilities in life.Unit 6-1 Why would people like to take risks?A:Nowadays,many young people love speed and the thrill of racing ,some are into extreme sports such as ice climbing ,bungee jumping.B:That's true.But I am wondering what makes a person take high risks to do something dangerous ,even their lives are threatened .C:Maybe they just want to feel extremist ,take things to the edge and get their adrenaline up high.And they do these things because they are suffering from great psychological pressure. I guess they do dangerous things for the thrill of it.D:You mean they just take it as a new experience ,new emotions to conquer themselves? they just want to satisfy their curiosity.A: oh, It is a vice. They are addicted to dangerous activities. young people are likely to take risks ,maybe because they want to look like a courageous guy or a strong person. It is not a good thing.B: but ,It is nice to talk about their new experiences with friends ,So they usually don't think much about the danger .And I have heard that when people do these things ,their bodies develop a substance .I think it is a kind of drug.C: So they need to do these things to have the amount of drug they need to live.D: Quite understand .For myself , once I played a risky game first I was scared but when I really experienced it ,I think it's exciting and great. I want to do it again and again.A: Really? Why don't we do something risky? Maybe we can understand better.DBC: Ok!UNIT 6What are the links between health risks and environmental pollution？A: oh，look，gays，The fog was so thick today，which make me very uncomfortable，I have to say I really don’t like xiasha because of its serious pollution, especially the air pollution. I think the serious pollution will damage our health.B:yeah. You are right. Air pollution can affect our health in many ways with both short-term and long-term effects. Young children and elderly people often suffer more from the effects of air pollution. En. Maybe we are live in the very dangerous place. C: I think so,air pollution will irritation to the eyes, nose and throat, and upper respiratory infections such as bronchitis and pneumonia. Other symptoms can include headaches, nausea, and allergic reactions. In the great "Smog Disaster" in London in 1952, four thousand people died in a few days due to the high concentrations of pollution.D: maybe the pollution is not serious as London in 1952,but, we expose to the air for longtime, it may cause lung cancer, heart disease, and even damage to the brain, nerves and liver. Continual exposure to air pollution affects the lungs of growing children and may aggravate or complicate medical conditions in the elderly.A: so I really can not understand why the government approved so many university built beside the industrial area.B: I think it depends on Economic interests.C:D: maybe it is the best answer.UNIT 7Part 1 Talk about the similarities and differences between your expectations ofcollege life and the reality.A:when graduating from high school, we started to imagine college life. Until today, we have already studied in college for one year, is there some differences between your former expectation and the reality, B?B:Well，personally, my expectation of college life should be more rich, instead of some no meaningful activities every week. In college, I think we can go out to experience more and learn more about our society. if possible, we can try to earn money by ourselves.C: Yes, I can’t agree more. In my mind, the college is a holy place with independent spirit and free thoughts. It is the source of creativity by creating novel ideas and new culture.D: as for me, I think college life is more challenging than what I expected. But thanks to it, I can learn to be more independent and confident.But the students lose their aims when they enter the college. What’s more, they are faced with more temptations than before. Consequently, when they recall their college life, nothing is left.A: but anyway，the college life we are going now is helpful somehow.B: I think we should do some for our life right here, right now and don’t leave some regret.C: yeah. No matter what we have done in the college, it will be a part of our memory which will never fade.D:In a word, we have grown up really.。

浙大版新编大学英语第四册第七单元课文翻译

Unit 7PASSAGE I永远不会听到的毕业典礼演说1 我们这些教师对于在你们身上取得的教育成就一点都不感到自豪。

我们培养你们去适应的是一个根本不存在的世界——事实上也是不可能存在的。

在这里度过的四年时间里，你们一直以为失败是不会留下任何记录的。

要是学得不好，一个最省事的办法就是中途退出(不修这门课)，在布朗大学你们学会了这一点。

但是，从现在开始，在你们要涉足的世界里，失败是要给你留下疤痕的。

知难而退也会使你变成另一个人。

走出布朗，知难而退的人绝不是英雄。

2 你们可以跟我们争辩，说服我们为什么你们的错误不是错误，为什么平庸的作业是优秀的，为什么你们会对普普通通并不出色的课堂报告感到骄傲。

回想一下，毕竟你们中的大多数人在你们所学的大部分课程中都得了高分。

因此，在这里分数并不能作为区分优秀学生与学业平平的学生的依据。

但是，今后，在你们所要去的世界里，你们最好不要为自己的错误辩护，而应该从中吸取教训。

假如你们要求得到你们不该得到的表扬，诋毁那些不给你们表扬的人，这是不明智的做法。

3 多年来，我们创造了一个完全宽容的世界。

这里所要求于你们的仅仅是一点微不足道的努力。

当你们没有按约定的时间赴约时，我们就再约时间。

当你们没有按期交作业时，我们装作不在乎。

4 更糟糕的是，当你们的言谈枯燥无味时，我们却装作你们说的是重要的事情；当你们喋喋不休、不知所云时，我们认真倾听，似乎你们说的东西事关重大；当你们把根本没有花心思写的作业扔到我们桌上时，我们不仅拜读，甚至批改给评语，好像值得为你们这样做似的。

当你们犯傻时，我们装作你们聪明过人；当你们老生常谈、毫无想象力、平平淡淡时，我们却装作像在听什么美妙绝伦的新鲜事情一样；当你们要不劳而获时，我们拱手奉上。

所有这一切究竟是为了什么?5 对这一切尽管你们可以想入非非，但我们决不是因为想要讨你们的欢心，而是因为我们不想让你们来Ⅱ罗唆。

一个简单的办法就是作假：微笑，让你们轻轻松松都得B。

Unit 1When Dad told us about the delivery work it sound easy,just a piece of cake.The trouble was,we didn’t take care to inquire just how much material was involved.Before long trucks seemed to be pulling up outside our house all day long,leaving stacks of advertsing.It seemed we would have no chance of meeting the deadline.Then we had this mavelous idea.Hiring local kids to help would enable us to get the job done on time.True,it would cut into our profits,but there was no alternative.Things seemed to be going well ,but then we had trouble over a pay claim .Our workers demanded five dollars an hour,but fortunately for us they were ready to settle for less.As for us,when we finally settle our account we ended up earning less than the minimum wage for all our efforts.I guess we should have know better than to believe that big bucks come easy.1) 我们接到通知，财政部长将于次日接见我们。
