The next lesson is that women never follow a logical route when
shopping. Your wife has disappeared before you know it. After ten minutes of searching, when you finally find her in a far corner, she enquires: “Where have you been all this time, dear?” Supermarket managers are sent on courses to learn how to tempt the customers and persuade them to buy goods they do not really need, at prices they are not able to afford. As a newcomer, I am often taken in by their clever techniques, as I take many goods off the shelves. But I am often discouraged by my wife. “Put it back, dear”. “You’ve tried that before and didn’t take to it”. “No, it’s too expensive”.

The heart surgeon was waiting for the service manager to come take a look at his bike. The mechanic shouted across the garage, “Hey, Doc, can I ask you a question?”The famous surgeon, a bit surprised, walked over to the mechanic working on the motorcycle.The mechanic straightened up, wiped his hands on a rag and asked, “So Doc, look at this engine. I also can open hearts, take valves out, fix them, put in new parts and when I finish this will work just like a new one. So how come I get a pittance and you get the really big money, when you and I are doing basically the same work?”The surgeon paused, smiled and leaned over, and whispered to the mechanic: “Try doing it with the engine running!”T 1. The story took place at the mechanic’s garage.___T____ 2. the mechanic was busy fixing a motorcycle.___F____ 3. The mechanic asked the heart surgeon to examine the motorcycle’s “heart”.___T___ 4.

Directions: Listen to the following talk and fill in the blanks with the missingwords. The talk is given twice.The world is so bright with color everywhere that it’s hard to imagine that other creatures(动物) don’t see it as we do. But how can we find out whether animals can see color when they cannot tell us?Scientists have made many experiments to get the answer to this. The bee has been the subject(研究对象) of hundreds of these tests, because we have been curious to know whether bees tell flowers apart by their color. In one experiment,a bit of syrup(糖浆) was put in front of a blue card, and no syrup in front of a redcard. After a while, the bees would come to the blue card, no matter where it was placed, even if it had no syrup in front of it. This proved they can tell colors apart.Two strange things were found out about the bee’s ability to see in color.The first is that a bee cannot see red as a color. For a bee, it’s only dark grey or black. The second is that bees can see ultraviolet(紫外线) as a color, while, for human beings, it is just darkness.9. Directions: Listen to the talk again and then answer the following questionsorally.1. What did scientists try to find out?They tried to find out whether animal can see color.2. Why did they use the bees at the subject?Because they were curious to know whether bees tell flowers apart by their color.3. What did they do in the experiment?They put a bit of syrup in front of a blue card, and no syrup in front of a red card.4. What was the result of the experiment?The bees would come to the blue card, no matter where it was placed, even if it had not syrup in front of it.5. What can we learn from the experiment?Bees don’t see colors as we do.10. Directions: Have a discussion on the topic given below。

Hostels, also referred to as youth hostels, are often for students working away from home. Motels have plenty of parking space and are usually near a freeway or highway. Inns are usually like motels. Lodges and resorts, or resorts hotels, are in the mountains, on the coast, or near lakes.2. Kinds of beds:Beds go by many different names. Starting with the smallest, there are single, twin, double, queen and king size ones. “Long boys”are for exceptionally tall people.

Exotic Customs for the New YearIn the US, people on the East Coast can greet the New Year by joining the crowds in Times Square in the heart of New Year city, to watch the lowering of a lighted crystal ball. Every New Year’s Eve, the prominent intersection is the meeting point of more than half a million excited celebrants. It’s at the center of everything and is known for its once-a-year role as the site of a thousand-pound ball up over the square.It starts it downward move at 11:59 p.m. and people count along as the seconds tick away. When it reaches the bottom, a sign is lighted and people hug and kiss, and wish each other “Happy New Year”. The tradition began in 1907 and grew into a symbol of welcoming in the New Year.The British people also have a traditional gathering in a square, Trafalgar, in central London. There’s no ball there, but thousands of people gather to hear Big Ben (the clock) announce the arrival of the New Year. The clock, which was built in 1856 and weighs 13 tons, towers over London. It’s famous for its reliability—it’s only broken down once in the past 150 years in 1975.In addition to the big gatherings, there are New Year customs that are intended to bring good luck for the coming year. In Spain, for example, when the clock strikes mid-night on New Year’s Eve, people eat a grape with every stroke of the clock, 12 in all, to represent each month of the year. Each grape is meant to bring good luck.The Japanese hang a rope made of straw across the front of their house to keep out evil spirits, thereby bringing happiness and good luck.The Swiss believe that good luck comes from letting a drop of cream fall on the floor on New Year’s Day. In the past, Romanians had a tradition of listening to see whether farm animals talked on New Year’s Day. If they didn’t hear any animals talking, it was good. If any animals talked, it was bad luck.。

21世纪大学实用英语综合教程(第二册)课文翻译及课后习题答案unit 4我喜欢动物劳拉?A?莫雷蒂“你觉得你为什么这么喜欢动物呢？”这是圣诞夜我的家人问我的问题。
我知道他们期待我会说些诸如“我喜欢动物是因为它们聪明、好玩”之类的话。
可是我却说：“我喜欢动物，因为它们诚实。
”“在哪方面呢？”我的一个兄弟问道——似乎诚实仅仅表现在说实话，而众所周知动物是不会说话的！他的问题引来一阵开怀大笑。
“我喜欢动物，因为它们从不假装成别人，”我继续我的回答，“动物不会伪造感情。
”圣诞晚餐吃过了，礼物也打开了，我们正坐在沙发和扶手椅上。
咖啡正端上来，于是我抓紧机会继续说。
“我喜欢动物，因为它们从生活中只索取它们需要的东西。
它们不糟蹋环境，不污染水和它们所呼吸的空气。
它们不生产大规模杀伤性武器，然后用这些武器去攻击别人——尤其是它们的同类。
我喜欢动物因为它们根本不需要那些东西。
”“那是因为它们无知，”我的姐姐争论道,“它们不做这些事是因为它们根本不知道怎么做。
”狮子们不会聚在一起，”我反击道,“来商议如何灭绝斑马——即它们的食物来源。
我想这并不是因为它们不知道怎么做，而是因为这么做会适得其反。
”他们笑了。
“我喜欢动物，”我继续道，“还因为它们不留恋过去的东西，也不把过去的东西用作现在行为的借口。
它们不去计划未来的生活，它们只活在今天，这一刻，充实地，完全地，单纯地活着。
我喜欢动物因为它们比人类活得自由得多。
”“那是因为它们不会思考,”我的一个表亲说。
“这就是差别之所在吗？”我感到疑惑。
“你是想说它们不以我们的方式思考吧。
”屋里变得异常安静。
我很惊讶我的家人竟听得如此专注。
“还有，”我想起了自己成为保护动物权益积极分子的原因，随即补充道，“动物是地球上受害最深的生物：甚于儿童，甚于妇女，甚于有色人种。
偏见使我们去剥削、利用它们，把它们当作科研工具和可消耗的商品，还去吃它们。
我们把所能想到的任何暴行都用在它们身上。
我喜欢动物，因为它们不对自己或别人做那些我们对它们做的事情。

Exotic Customs for the New Year
In the US, people on the East Coast can greet the New Year by joining the crowds in Times Square in the heart of New Year city, to watch the lowering of a lighted crystal ball. Every New Year’s Eve, the prominent intersection is the meeting point of more than half a million excited celebrants. It’s at the center of everything and is known for its once-a-year role as the site of a thousand-pound ball up over the square.
It starts it downward move at 11:59 p.m. and people count along as the seconds tick away. When it reaches the bottom, a sign is lighted and people hug and kiss, and wish each other “Happy New Year”. The tradition began in 1907 and grew into a symbol of welcoming in the New Year.
The British people also have a traditional gathering in a square, Trafalgar, in central London. There’s no ball there, but thousands of people gather to hear Big Ben (the clock) announce the arrival of the New Year. The clock, which was built in 1856 and weighs 13 tons, towers over London. It’s famous for its reliability—it’s only broken down once in the past 150 years in 1975.
In addition to the big gatherings, there are New Year customs that are intended to bring good luck for the coming year. In Spain, for example, when the clock strikes mid-night on New Year’s Eve, people eat a grape with every stroke of the clock, 12 in all, to represent each month of the year. Each grape is meant to bring good luck.
The Japanese hang a rope made of straw across the front of their house to keep out evil spirits, thereby bringing happiness and good luck.
The Swiss believe that good luck comes from letting a drop of cream fall on the floor on New Year’s Day. In the past, Romanians had a tradition of listening to see whether farm animals talked on New Year’s Day. If they didn’t hear any animals talking, it was good. If any animals talked, it was bad luck.。
