中国书法(calligraphy)是一门独特的艺术,是世界上独一无二的艺术瑰宝。
Chinese calligraphy is a unique art and the unique art treasure in the world.中国书法艺术的形成、发展与汉文字的产生与演进存在着密不可分的关系。
The formation and development of the Chinese calligraphy is closely related to the emergence and evolution of Chinese characters.汉字在漫长的演变发展过程中,一方面起着交流思想、继承文化的重要作用,另一方面它本身又形成了一种独特的艺术。
In this long evolutionary process, Chinese characters have not only played an important role in exchanging ideas and transmitting culture but also developed into a unique art form.书法能够通过作品把书法家个人的生活感受、学识、修养、个性等折射出来,所以,通常有"字如其人"的说法。
Calligraphic works well reflect calligraphers' personal feelings, knowledge, self-cultivation, personality, andso forth, thus there is an expression that "seeing the calligrapher's handwriting is like seeing the person".中国书法不仅是中华民族的文化瑰宝,而且在世界文化艺术宝库中独放异彩。

He was born in Salzburg, Austria, in 1756. Before the age of four, he had shown great musical talent. His father then decided to let him start taking harpsichord lessons. The boy’s reputation as a musical talent grew fast. At five, he was composing music. Form that time on, Mozart was performing n concerts and writing music. By his early teens, he had mastered the piano, violin and harpsichord, and was writing symphonies and operas. His first major opera was performed in Milan in 1770, when he was only fourteen. At fifteen, Mozart became the conductor for an orchestra in Salzburg. In 1781, he left for Vienna, where he was in great demand as both a performer and a composition teacher. His first opera was a success. But life was not easy because he was a poor businessman, and his finances were always in a bad state. His music from the next decade was not very popular, and he eventually fell back on his teaching jobs for a living. In 1788 he stopped performing in public, preferring only to compose. He died in 1791 at the age of thirty-five. Although he lived only a short life, he composed over 600 works.1. Which of the following is true of Mozart? D2. How long has Mozart’s fame lasted? A3.

Let’s TalkThe Origin of the Song “Happy Birthday to You”The story of the song “Happy Birthday to You” Began as a sweet one, but later became bitter. Two sisters, Mildred Hill, a teacher at a kindergarten, and Dr. Patty Hill, the principal of the sameschool, wrote a song together for the children, entitled “Good Morning to All”. When Mil dred combined her musical talents with her sister’s knowledge in the area of kindergarten education, ‘Good Morning to All” was sure to be a success. The sister published the song in a collection entitled “Song Stories of the Kindergarten” in 1893. Thirty-one years later, after Dr. Patty Hill became the head of the Department of Kindergarten Education at Columbia University’s Teachers College, a gentleman by the name Robert Coleman published the song, without the sisters’ permission. He added a second part, which is the familiar “Happy Birthday to You”. Mr. Coleman’s addition of the second part made the song popular and, finally, the sisters” original first part disappeared. “Happy Birthday to You” had altogether replaced the sisters’ original song “Good Morning to All”. In 1916 Patty took legal action against Mr. Coleman. In court, she succeeded in proving that hey were the real owners of the song.1. teacher at a kindergarten2. Good Morning to All3. Happy Birthday to You4. Happy Birthday to You Good Morning to AllPossible Retelling for the Teacher’s ReferenceThe story of “Happy Birthday to You” was a nice, sweet on eat the very beginning, but later turned into a bitter one. There were two sisters: one was Mildred Hill, and the other Patty Hill. The former had great musical talents, while the latter had knowledge of kindergarten education. Bu combining their abilities, the two produced a song called “Good Morning to All”. It was a success, and later published in a collection of songs for kindergartens.Thirty-one years later a man named Coleman published the song without the sisters’ permission. To make things worse, he added a second part, which is the present “Happy Birthday to You”. This new song soon became popular and eventually it replaced the sis ters’ first part altogether. Then, in 1916, Patty took legal action against Coleman. In court she managed to prove that she and her sister really owned the song.VI. Further Listening and SpeakingTask 1: KaraokeDalin: It’s Mike’s birthday on Friday, so a bunch of us are going to go to the karaoke bar. Would you like to come with us?Laura: Karaoke bar?

F3.T4.T5.FTask 2: When was music first sent down a telephone line?So you think downloading music from the Internet through a phone line is a really cool modern thing? Not so. In 1896, Thaddeus Cahill Filed a patent on the instrument for transmitting music electronically, and until 1914 he sent music signals down telephone lines with this instrument. Andhe wasn’t even the first. Elisha Gray transmitted music over a telephone line in 1876, which was the same year the telephone was invented. Gray invented the first electronic music instrument in 1874, calling it the “Musical Telegraph”. Alexander Graham Bell also designed an experimental “Electric Harp” for speech to be transmitted over a telephone line using technol ogy similar to Gray’s. Bell was a speech teacher for the deaf. In 1879 he created an instrument to measure hearing loss. That is why the degrees of loudness came to be measured in bels or decibels.5-4-2-1-3Task 3: Thank You for the MusicI’m nothing special, in fact I’m a bit of a boreIf I tell a joke, you’re probably heard it beforeBut I have a talent, a wonderful thing‘Cause everyone listens when I start to singI’m so grateful and proudAll I want is to sing it out loudSo I sayThank you for t he music, the songs I’m singingThanks for all the joy they’re bringingWho can live without it, I ask in all honestlyWhat would life beWithout a song or a dance what are weSo I say thank you for the musicFor giving it to meMother says I was a dancer before I could walkShe says I began to sing long before I could talkAnd I’ve often wondered, how did it all startWho found out that nothing can capture a heartLike a melody canWell, whoever it was, I’m a fanSo I sayThank you for the music, the son gs I’m singing…SpeakingMusical MemoriesTony: Listen! Quick, turn up the radio! Isn’t that “Can You Feel the Love Tonight?”Nancy: Yeah, it is, but what’s the big deal?Tony: When I was a little boy, my grandmother took me to see the movie The Lion K ing. That’s the Elton John song from the movie.Nancy: I still can’t understand why it’s so important to you.Tony: Because it was the first movie I ever saw with my grandma and because I really lovedspending time with her. It is my favorite song of all times!Nancy: The first time Tom and I went on a date, we went to see Titanic. I always think of the song “My Heart Will Go On” as our song! Whenever I hear it, I think of that night.Tony: Oh, I can understand why you love that song! Isn’t it interesting all the memories we connect with songs?Unit2II. Listening Skills1.

You might just miss it.Q: What does the man mean?1. A2.D3.B4.C5.BIII. Listening InTask 1: Waiting for the New Harry Potter MovieAmy: I’m so excited about finally seeing this movie!Peter: Me too. I’m crazy about Harry Potter. Have you heard that J.K. Rowling has added another book to the series?Amy: She’s already written Book Seven? I’m still waiting for Book Five…Peter: I know. Who isn’t? At least we have the movies to watch in the meantime.Amy: By the way, have you seen the trailer yet?Peter: Yeah. It was great! I think the movie itself will be really scary.Amy: It surely will! All that writing on the wall in blood… It scares me to death just to think about it!Both the girl and the boy are excited/crazy about the movie and the hero Harry Potter. The boy heard that the writer J.K. Rowling has written the latest book, which is Book Seven, though thegirl is still waiting for Book Five. The boy has been the trailer and believes the film will be scary. The girl shares that view because of the writing on the wall in blood.Task 2: A Great ActorThere was once a great actor who could no longer remember his lines. After several years of searching, he finally found a theater that was willing to give him a try. The director said, “This is the most important part, and it has only one line. At the opening you walk onto stage carrying a rose. You hold the rose to your nose with just one finger and thumb, smell it deeply and then say the line on praise of the rose: ‘Ah, the sweet smell of my love.’” The actor was excited. All day long before the play he practiced his line over and over again. Finally, the time came. The curtain went up, the actor walked onto the stage, looked at the audience, and with great emotion said the line, “Ah, the sweet smell of my love.” The audience exploded in laughter. Only the director was furious! “Ahhhhhh! You damned fool!” he cried. “You’ve ruined my play! You’ve ruined me!” The actor was puzzled, “What happened? Did I forget my line?” “No!” shouted the director. “You forget the rose!”1.D2.C3.D4.A5.BTask 3: Movie ReviewsI love movies! And after I see them, I like to comment on them. These are movies I saw this year I would like to recommend: Among comedies I highly recommend “Monsoon Wedding”. It’s an Indian movie. The story is about an Indian wedding. Preparations for the wedding bring out funny and sad situations touching on love and a past rape. This movie shows some of the wonderful customs of India, and the importance of family and love. It’s great!Among dramas, I like “Adaptation”. It is an excellent movie! But for me the first part of the movie was too fast to follow. I hope to see it again on DVD with captions.“The Pianist” is set in the Second World War. It’s about a young Polish-Jewish pianist, who lives in Warsaw with his family. The Nazis sent his family to die in the concentration camps. He was safe, but would have died without unusually good luck and the kindness of a few non-Jews. This is a powerful movie with thought-provoking themes.“Rabbit-Proof Fence” is set in the 1930s in Australia, and it’s based on real events. It is about three native girls who are separated from their families by the racist police who send them to special centers. There the girls are taught practical skills, and the government tries to integrate them into white Australian society. They can away from the camp and walked 1,500 miles to find their mothers. This is a sad, touching story that you should not miss.1. He likes to see movies and comment on them.2. Four.3. Three.4.

Will you come with me?Laura: Yeah, definitely! Thanks for inviting me!John: It’s my pleasure.Laura: I really wanted to see Star Wars on the opening night, but the tickets were sold out. How did you manage to get hold of them?John: A friend of mine works at the “Pepsi” headquarters, which is a major sponsor of the movie. So he was able to get the tickets for free.Laura: Wow, people are paying as much as $200 each on the black market. I’m flattered you went through all this trouble just for me.John: You’re welcome.Now Your TurnSAMPLE DIALOGA: Hi, are you busy this weekend?B: Yes. What’s on your mind?A: I’ve got two tickets for the car exhibition. Would you like to go with me?B: Sure.

How did you manage to get two tickets?A: A friend of mine works at the exhibition center. She was able to get three free tickets.B: Wow, people are paying almost 100 yuan for a ticket on the black market. Thank you very much indeed for inviting me.A: No problem.Model 2 What did you think about the movie?John: So… what did you think about the movie?Laura: Well… I think this Star Wars episode is an excellent piece of work, but not as good as the previous ones.John: Really? But I think this Star Wars episode was incredible!Laura: Why do you think so?John: Well, one of the most spectacular things about it was the special effects. State-of-the-art special effects were the main reason for the success of the previous episodes.Laura: You’re right. The special effects were amazin g! And I like the fact that they created so many fantastic settings and other-worldly costumes, weapons and creatures.Now Your TurnSAMPLE DIALOGA: What did you think about The Lion King?B: Well… I think this cartoon was pretty good, but not as good as Beauty and the Beast. It’s a killer flick.A: Really? But I think The Lion King was unbelievably good.B: I thought it was just OK. Why do you think so?A: Well, it’s so interesting that the lives of the lions were similar to the lives of human beings.B: You’re right. The murder in The Lion King was almost the same as the murder in the Shakespearean play Hamlet.Model 3 The plot is first-class.John: It’s kind of cool that they still used the same Star Wars theme song for this movie.Laura: Yeah! It just reminds me of the previous Star Wars scenes.John: I know exactly what you mean! Hearing that song makes me think of the past.Laura: I think the plot was first-class. But I don’t think the character development was that strong. John: Do you think that has anything to do with the casting of the movie?Laura: No, the casting was great; the actors are excellent, but I think the acting was a little weak. They just didn’t have a lot of funny or meaningful lines.John: Well, maybe, but I liked the little kid that played “Skywalker”. I can’t imagine anyone else playing that part.Laura: Yeah, I liked him too. He’s soooo cute!Now Your TurnSAMPLE DIALOGA: What do you think about the movie?B: I think the plot was first-class. But I don’t think the character d evelopment was so strong.A: Yes, the characterization was rather weak. Do you think it is because of the casting of the movie?B: No, the cast was strong. But the acting was rather poor. And the lines are not interesting at all. A: Well, maybe. But I liked the heroine of the movie. She is excellent.B: Yeah, I liked her too. She’s adorable!V. Let’s TalkAlfred HitchcockAlfred Hitchcock was a British director. His movies frequently show innocent people caught up in situations beyond their control or even understanding.Hitchcock preferred the use of suspense in his movies. In surprise, the director provides the viewer with frightening things. In suspense, the director tells or shows things to the audience which the characters in the movie do not know, and then skillfully builds up tension around what will happen when the characters finally learn the truth. Hitchcock had a great sense of humor. Once at a French airport, a suspicious customs official looked at Hitchcock’s passport, which was marked simply PR ODUCER. The curious official asked, “And what do you produce?” “Gooseflesh.” repliedHitchcock.Alfred Hitchcock always managed to make a brief appearance in his movies: He was sometimes getting on a bus, or crossing a street, pr walking in front of a store, or across the courtyard in an apartment. However, for the movie Lifeboat in 1944, he was faced with a difficult problem. The entire movie was set in a lifeboat out at sea, and there were only a few characters in the boat. Originally, he wanted to float by as a dead body, but he was afraid he’d sink! His clever solution was to place a photograph of himself in a newspaper that one of the characters read during the course of the movie.1. A2.C3.DVI. Furthering Listening and SpeakingListeningTask 1: Only One LinePeter has always wanted to be an actor, but never succeeded because he had a hard time memorizing lines. A friend of his told him about a small part in a play. He promised Peter that he could do it because he’s only have to remember one lin e. Peter decided to take the part. His only line was, “Listen, I hear the guns roar!” Peter practiced and practiced, “Listen, I hear the guns roar!” On the opening night of the play Peter was very nervous. Backstage, he practiced his line, over and over ag ain, “Listen, I hear the guns roar! Listen, I hear the guns roar!” Finally came his turn, Peter went onto stage.

RowlingQ: How did you get the idea for Harry Potter?A: I was traveling on a train between Manchester and London and the idea for Harry just fell into my head. At that point it was essentially the idea for a body who didn’t know he was a wizard. Q: Did you always plan to write Harry’s story in more than one book? If so, how many?A: I always conceived it as a seven-book series because I decided that it would take seven years, from age eleven to seventeen, inclusive, to train as a wizard, and each of the books would deal with one year of Harry’s life at the school.Q: Any clues about the next book?A: I don’t want to i\give anything away, but I tell you that the books are getting darker. Harry’s going to have quite a bit to deal with as he gets older. Sorry if they get too scary!Q: Of the many things you must have heard people say about Harry Potter, what are some of your favorites?A: My very favorite was from a twelve-year-old Scottish girl who came to hear me read at the Edinburgh book festival. At the end of the festival, the queue for signing was very long. When the girl finally reached me, she said, “I didn’t W ANT there to be so many people here, because this is MY books!” That is exactly how I feel about my favorite books. Nobody else has a right to knowthem; let alone like them!1.T2.F3.F4.T5.FTask 3: The Secret of the Next Harry Potter BookThe Harry Potter books rapidly became one of the most in-demand book series among young readers and have earned large sums of money. Movies based on the books won several Oscar nominations. Readers are now keen to know the plot of the next book.Harry Potter movie fans will get a long-awaited treat. The movie Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secret is finally about to come out. This time around, Harry discovers a frightening secret at Hogwarts School. Eager readers of the first four Harry Potter books are also trying to discover a secret, the secret plot of the fifth book in the series. Because of the long wait since Book Four, they are guessing many things. Some think that Professor Lupin will die or that Harry and his friend Ron may be related!J.K. Rowling herself has only said that Book Five will be shorter and scarier than Book Four. To make sure her readers hear only rumors, she locks all her ideas for the books in a hidden place. Since the next book does not come out until 2003, for mow Harry’s secret is safe with her!1. D2.C3.A4.BSpeakingViews on MoviesInterviewer: Hell o, Robert and Richard, I’d like to ask you something about movies. Do you prefer going to the theater or watching movies on video at home?Robert: I prefer, personally, going to the theater, because I believe there are certain movies that come over better when you see them in a large theater. The sound effect is much better. Interviewer: What about you, Richard?Richard: Just the opposite. It’s more comfortable to sit at home.Interviewer: There’re many different movie genres, for example, science fict ion, action, comedy, romance. What’s your personal favorite?Robert: My favorite would be action movies.Richard: And mine would be nice movies that touch me deeply.Interviewer: How do you like the old black and white movies of the forties, and fifties compared with the modern blockbusters?Robert: For their time, the movies of the forties and fifties were excellent.

一、视听说教程Unit 1 Life is a learning curve1、Long conversationM: Miranda, let's speak about your performance in class. You're not participating;you're careless with your assignments and often hand them in late. You don't want to be here, do you??W: I'm sorry Dr. Smith. It's just ... I've got lots of things to do. I'm studying Web design and I'm a first-class player on our golf team. It's hard to see whyI need to take a Spanish language class!?M: Well, I'm sorry you feel that way, but learning another language can improve your performance in all of your efforts. And it can be very useful sometimes, for instance, when you visit your father in Mexico.?W: Gosh! What do you mean, professor? Just because my father does business in Mexico I'm supposed to learn Spanish —on top of everything else I have to learn? It's just too much! And if I don't spend enough time on the golf course, I won't remaina first-class player on the golf team. I still don't see why I should learn alanguage that's so hard for me. There are no verb tenses on the golf course or in Web design!?M: Listen Miranda, I've known your father since we were students at university 20 years ago — and have known you since you were a little girl. Of course, there are no verb tenses in golf or Web design. But I am giving you good advice. Please listen.?W: Yes, of course, you're like my favorite uncle.?M: Your brain isn't like a cup that has water flowing over its edge when it is full.Instead, it's like a muscle. Learning Spanish exercises your brain in new ways, making it stronger. It will strengthen your critical thinking skills and creativity.?W: Really?! Then I guess I can give it a try.?Question:1、How is the woman doing in the man's class??2、What does the woman think of learning Spanish??3、What do we know from this conversation about the man??4、What is the woman most likely to do after talking with the man??2、passage 2Have you ever heard of homeschooling? It is a legal choice for parents in most countries to provide their children with a learning environment as an alternative to public or private schools outside the home. Parents cite numerous reasons for homeschooling their children.?The three reasons that are selected by the majority of parents in the United States are the concern about the traditional school environment, the lack of religious or moral instruction, and the dissatisfaction with the academic instruction at public and private schools.??Homeschooling may also be a factor in the choice of parenting style. Homeschooling can be a choice forfamilies living in isolated countryside or living briefly abroad. Also many young athletes and actors are taught at home.?Homeschoolers often take advantage of educational opportunities at museums, libraries, community centers, athletic clubs, after-school programs, churches, parks, and other community resources. Secondary school level students may take classes at community colleges, which typically have open admission policies.?Groups of homeschooling families often join up together to create homeschool co-ops. These groups typically meet once a week and provide a classroom environment. These are family-centered support groups whose members seek to pool their talents and resources in a collective effort to broaden the scope of their children's education. They provide a classroom environment where students can do hands-on and group learning such as performing, science experiments, art projects, foreign language study, spelling contests, discussions, etc. Parents whose children take the classes serve as volunteers to keep costs low and make the program a success.?Unit 3 Time Out1、Long conversationW: Hello??M: Hi Amy, it's Ryan. I'm calling because I want to invite you and your sister Ashley to a dinner party this Saturday. My roommate Erick and I are hosting a 1960s theme party with a few other friends.?W: A theme party? Is that like a dress-up party??M: Sort of ... You're certainly encouraged to dress in 1960s fashions! Short skirts, bright colors, and bell-bottom jeans! Or go to the beginning of the 1960s and come as one of your favorite actresses ... But it's not just cool clothes; we'll have food, games, and entertainment inspired by the 1960s. In fact, we'll start our meal with alien noodles in honor of all those space and alien TV shows.? W: Wait! Wait! What are "alien noodles"? Why not have regular noodles in honor of the movie?The Godfather??M: No way!?The Godfather?is from the 1970s. Anyway, alien noodles are bright green noodles with purple sauce!?W: What?! That's crazy!?M: Yeah! Anyway, there'll be lots of other things. I don't want to spoil the surprises.But just for you, we'll end with light desserts and coffee from one of your favorite 1960s movies.?W: I can't wait! Ooooooh, I have an idea. We can have a special bar and make fancy mixed drinks. They're always drinking in old TV shows!?M: Perfect! And start reviewing 1960s music! We're having a dance contest and a singing contest.?W: This sounds like a lot of fun. Can I invite my roommate? She loves all of the classic movies from that time!?M: Of course —the more, the merrier! Anyway, it starts at 7:00 p.m. —my apartment.? Questions:1、What do we know about those people who are invited to the party??2、What is particular about alien noodles??3、Why won't they have regular noodles at the party??4、What other arrangements do they have for the party??2、passage 2Rock climbing is an activity in which participants climb up, down or across natural rock formations or artificial rock walls. The goal of rock climbing is to reach the top of a formation or the endpoint of a predefined route without falling. Rock climbing competitions have objectives of completing the route in the quickest possible time or reaching the farthest point along an ever increasingly harder route. While not an Olympic event, rock climbing is recognized by the International Olympic Committee as a sport.?Rock climbing has been separated into several different styles and subdisciplines. At its most basic, rock climbing involves climbing a route with one's own hands and feet and little more than a cushioned bouldering pad for protection. This style of climbing is referred to as bouldering, since the relevant routes are usually found on boulders no more than 10 to 15 feet tall. As routes get higher off the ground, the increased risk of life-threatening injuries makes additional safety measures necessary. Climbers will usually work in pairs and use a system of ropes and anchors designed to catch fallers.?Rock climbing is a physically and mentally demanding sport that tests a climber's strength, endurance, and balance along with their mental control. It can be a dangerous sport and climbers are putting themselves at risk when they go climbing. However, the risk can be reduced by having the knowledge of proper climbing techniques and using specialized climbing equipment.?Unit 5 Urban pulse1、Long conversationM: Hi Emily! Something troubling you??W: Not sleeping well. My husband's got a new job in Santa Fe, New Mexico! I'm a girl born and raised in big cities. I'm a little worried ...?M: What about??W: Well, my hometown has about 4.5 million people! You know how many people live in Santa Fe??M: Not exactly, but, listen!?W: Well, I looked up the population and it's like 70,000! Tiny! It really is a great job for John — my husband, but in a small town! I'm sure there will be no good restaurants, or nice places to walk, no nightlife ...?M: Whoa! Wait a minute Emily! Did you do anything besides looking at the population of Santa Fe??W: Uh, no ...?M: You're jumping to conclusions — and they're all wrong! I'm from Santa Fe! It does have a small population —but it's an amazing place! The history and architecture is unique. The city center was built in the 1600s by the Spanish.It's full of beautiful shops, restaurants, coffee shops, and art galleries. It has amazing nightlife — full of wonderful people. That's why famous writers and movie stars love Santa Fe, too!?W: Wow, sounds great ... What about outdoor life??M: It's wonderful! The colors of the sky and mountains are so beautiful that artistscome from around the world to paint! And the sky at night is so full of stars that you feel like you can reach out and touch them. It's a magical place, Emily.Soon you'll realize how lucky you are. You'll have a long line of family and friends waiting to come and visit you in Santa Fe!?Question:1、What is Emily going to do??2、What did Emily think life in Santa Fe would be like??3、What is unique in Santa Fe according to the man??4、What attracts artists around the world to Santa Fe??2、passage 2Around the world smart cities are being built while those we have lived in for centuries are being upgraded for the future. A smart city may mean one that uses data on traffic to ease congestion or one that aims to join up services to provide better information for citizens. For many it is about making cities greener and more efficient. It is partly a reaction to overcrowding and pollution and partly because in an ever-connected world it makes increasing sense to hook entire cities up to the network.?Masdar is a city that stands in the middle of the desert of Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates. It is designed to be one of the most sustainable cities on the planet. With a solar power station at its heart and wind farms providing energy for it, it aims to be carbon free. Everything in the city, from water to rubbish, is measured and monitored, becoming a source of information. The city is built on a raised platform to allow its “digital plumbers” easy access to the system of advanced technologies that run it. It is pedestrian-friendly and entirely car free. The city is experimenting with a network of electric driverless podcars. The PRT —personal rapid transit —will run six meters under street level across the city. The buildings in the city have been designed by Norman Foster’s architecture firm, which designed a number of eye-catching buildings including The City Hall in London.?It is hoped that 40,000 people will eventually live in the city, with up to 50,000 commuting there each day.?Unit 7 Time of technology:A blessing or a curse?1、Long conversationM: Oh! Another call from my grandmother!?W: What's wrong? I love talking to my grandmother! She's an artist and tells really funny stories!?M: Oh, I love talking to my grandmother, too, usually! She just moved from New York City down here to Washington D.C. And I'm happy to have her here in WashingtonD.C. I love my grandmother! She's a wonderful person. My problem is I spent sixhours on Saturday and five hours on Sunday at her apartment trying to teach her how to use her new electronic gadgets. I set up her telephone, Internet, TV, and DVD player. But she refuses to try and learn and she gets really confused.She just has no idea how to make any of them work.?W: Oh, I see. My Aunt Patricia was the same. She didn't really want to learn — so it took six lessons plus nine phone calls to learn basic email! — how to open and close an email, how to attach a document!?M: Yes, my grandmother is like that, too. She refuses to learn. My grandfather always took care of all the electronic items –and since he passed away two years ago, she has to handle them by herself.?W: OK, I have an idea! You need to get her liking electronic gadgets. Why not get her one of those video games made for families and kids. I bought my grandfathera Wii. He loves it. I got it all set up. The games are easy and fun! These days,he spends hours playing Wii golf.?M: My grandmother used to love tennis. Wii tennis. Um ... Great idea!? Question:1、What did the man do for his grandmother??2、What problem does the man's grandmother have??3、What do the man's grandmother and the woman's aunt have in common??4、What will the man do to help his grandmother??2、passage 2The New York Police Department (NYPD) announced it will form a new unit to search social media as part of the combined efforts against criminals. This is an official response to criminals' growing use of some websites to plan and celebrate illegal achievements.?A Police Chief, Kevin O'Connor, is in charge of an NYPD unit created specifically to comb social media sites like Facebook, Twitter and BlackBerry Messenger for information on planned crimes and their offenders.?The efforts against criminals have linked social media to increasing incidents of robberies in the United States and the recent rioting in London. Public safety agencies are consequently looking to step up their efforts in order to better protect citizens against these trends.?In the London riots in particular, the police suspect the rioters relied heavily on BlackBerry Messenger to coordinate and plan their riots. Police there are working with BlackBerry Messenger to identify those messages that are linked to burning and robbing London stores.?BlackBerry Messenger and other smartphone messaging services make it hard for the police to anticipate criminal activity, especially if they aren't as familiar with the technology as the offenders are. The NYPD unit intends to educate officers about such technology to remedy this defect.?For social media providers and smartphone makers, the criminals' preference for their products is putting them in the sticky position of determining how to assist police efforts without betraying lawful customers' privacy.?二、读写教程(一)课文翻译(英译中)Unit 2 College-The ladder to successThe humanities: Out of date?人文学科:过时了吗?When the going gets tough, the tough take accounting. When the job market worsens, many students calculate they can't major in English or history. They have to study something that boosts their prospects of landing a job.?当形势变得困难时,强者会去选学会计。

Unit 1Learning the art of critical thinkingA. There is nothing more practical than sound thinking. No matter what your circumstance or goals, no matter where you are, or what problems you face, you are better off if your thinking is skilled. As a manager, leader, employee, citizen, lover, friend, parent –in every realm and situation of your life –good thinking pays off. Poor thinking, in turn, inevitably causes problems, wastes time and energy, and engenders frustration and pain.B. Critical thinking is the disciplined art of ensuring that you use the best thinking you are capable of in any set of circumstances. The general goal of thinking is to "figure out the lay of the land" in any situation we are in. We all have multiple choices to make. We need the best information to make the best choices.C. It is important to realize that serious study of thinking, serious thinking about thinking, is rare. It is not a subject in most colleges. It is seldom found in the thinking of our culture. But if you focus your attention for a moment on the role that thinking is playing in your life, you may come to recognize that, in fact, everything you do, or want, or feel is influenced by your thinking.D. To make significant gains in the quality of your thinking you will have to engage in a kind of work that most humans find unpleasant, if not painful – intellectual work. Yet once this thinking is done and we move our thinking to a higher level of quality, it is not hard to keep it at that level. Still, there is the price you have to pay to step up to the next level. One doesn't become a skillful critic of thinking overnight, any more than one becomes a skillful basketball player or musician overnight. To become better at thinking, you must be willing to put the work into thinking that skilled improvement always requires.E. This means you must be willing to practice special "acts" of thinking that are initially at least uncomfortable, and sometimes challenging and difficult. You have to learn to do with your mind "moves" analogous to what accomplished athletes learn to do (through practice and feedback) with their bodies. Improvement in thinking, in other words, is similar to improvement in other domains of performance where progress is a product of sound theory, commitment, hard work, and practice. Consider the following key ideas, which, when applied, result in a mind practicing skilled thinking. These ideas represent just a few of the many ways in which disciplined thinkers actively apply theory of mind to the mind by the mind in order to think better.1. Clarify your thinking.F. Our own thinking usually seems clear to us, even when it is not. But vague, ambiguous, muddled, deceptive, or misleading thinking are significant problems in human life. If we are to develop as thinkers, we must learn the art of clarifying thinking, of pinning it down, spelling it out, and giving it a specific meaning. Here's what you can do to begin. When people explain things to you, summarize in your own words what you think they said. When you cannot do this to theirsatisfaction, you don't really understand what they said. When they cannot summarize what you have said to your satisfaction, they don't really understand what you said. Try it. See what happens.2. Stick to the point.G. Be on the lookout for fragmented thinking, thinking that leaps about with no logical connections. Start noticing when you or others fail to stay focused on what is relevant. Focus on finding what will aid you in truly solving a problem. When someone brings up a point (however true) that doesn't seem pertinent to the issue at hand, ask, "How is what you are saying relevant to the issue?" When you are working through a problem, make sure you stay focused on what sheds light on and, thus, helps address the problem. Don't allow your mind to wander to unrelated matters. Don't allow others to stray from the main issue. Frequently ask: "What is the central question? Is this or that relevant to it? How?"3. Question questions.H. Most people are not skilled questioners. Most accept the world as it is presented to them. And when they do question, their questions are often superficial or "loaded". Their questions do not help them solve their problems or make better decisions. Good thinkers routinely ask questions in order to understand and effectively deal with the world around them. They question the status quo. They know that things are often different from the way they are presented. Their questions penetrate images, masks, fronts, and propaganda. Their questions make real problems explicit and discipline their thinking through those problems. If you become a student of questions, you can learn to ask powerful questions that lead to a deeper and more fulfilling life. Your questions become more basic, essential, and deep.4. Be reasonable.I. One of the hallmarks of a critical thinker is the disposition to change one's mind when given good reason to change. Good thinkers want to change their thinking when they discover better thinking. They can be moved by reason. Yet, comparatively few people are reasonable. Few are willing to change their minds once set. Few are willing to suspend their beliefs to fully hear the views of those with which they disagree. How would you rate yourself?J. The extent to which any of us develops as a thinker is directly determined by the amount of time we dedicate to our development, the quality of the intellectual practice we engage in, and the depth, or the lack thereof, of our commitment to becoming more reasonable, rational, successful persons.1. Critical thinking is a kind of art that can be trained to guarantee that you use the2. If other people are not satisfied with your summary of what they said, it means you have problems understanding what they said.4. You may find that your thinking influences whatever you do, or want, or feel, if5. Most people are unwilling to suspend their beliefs and seriously listen to others'6. Intellectual work, though unpleasant for most people, can help us make great8. In order to avoid thinking fragmentedly, you need to concentrate on finding the key9. Critical thinkers will change their minds when there are good reasons to do so,10. The process of learning to train your mind is similar to the process of athletes learning to train their bodies.1-5:BFACI6-10:DHGIE。

During the medieval and early modern periods, the influence of English spread throughout the British Isles, and from the early 17th century its influence began to be felt throughout the world.

一、视听说教程Unit 1 Life is a learning curve1、Long conversationM: Miranda, let's speak about your performance in class. You're not participating; you're careless with your assignments and often hand them in late. You don't want to be here, do you?W: I'm sorry Dr. Smith. It's just ... I've got lots of things to do. I'm studying Web design and I'm a first-class player on our golf team.It's hard to see why I need to take a Spanish language class!M: Well, I'm sorry you feel that way, but learning another language can improve your performance in all of your efforts. And it can be very useful sometimes, for instance, when you visit your father in Mexico.W: Gosh! What do you mean, professor? Just because my father does business in Mexico I'm supposed to learn Spanish —on top of everything elseI have to learn? It's just too much! And if I don't spend enough timeon the golf course, I won't remain a first-class player on the golf team. I still don't see why I should learn a language that's so hard for me. There are no verb tenses on the golf course or in Web design! M: Listen Miranda, I've known your father since we were students at university 20 years ago —and have known you since you were a little girl. Of course, there are no verb tenses in golf or Web design. ButI am giving you good advice. Please listen.W: Yes, of course, you're like my favorite uncle.M: Your brain isn't like a cup that has water flowing over its edge when it is full. Instead, it's like a muscle. Learning Spanish exercises your brain in new ways, making it stronger. It will strengthen your critical thinking skills and creativity.W: Really?! Then I guess I can give it a try.Question:1、How is the woman doing in the man's class?2、What does the woman think of learning Spanish?3、What do we know from this conversation about the man?4、What is the woman most likely to do after talking with the man?2、passage 2Have you ever heard of homeschooling? It is a legal choice for parents in most countries to provide their children with a learning environment as an alternative to public or private schools outside the home. Parents cite numerous reasons for homeschooling their children. The three reasons that are selected by the majority of parents in the United States are the concern about the traditional school environment, the lack ofreligious or moral instruction, and the dissatisfaction with the academic instruction at public and private schools. Homeschooling may also be a factor in the choice of parenting style. Homeschooling can be a choice for families living in isolated countryside or living briefly abroad. Also many young athletes and actors are taught at home.Homeschoolers often take advantage of educational opportunities at museums, libraries, community centers, athletic clubs, after-school programs, churches, parks, and other community resources. Secondary school level students may take classes at community colleges, which typically have open admission policies.Groups of homeschooling families often join up together to create homeschool co-ops. These groups typically meet once a week and provide a classroom environment. These are family-centered support groups whose members seek to pool their talents and resources in a collective effort to broaden the scope of their children's education. They provide a classroom environment where students can do hands-on and group learning such as performing, science experiments, art projects, foreign language study, spelling contests, discussions, etc. Parents whose children take the classes serve as volunteers to keep costs low and make the program a success.Unit 3 Time Out1、Long conversationW: Hello?M: Hi Amy, it's Ryan. I'm calling because I want to invite you and your sister Ashley to a dinner party this Saturday. My roommate Erick andI are hosting a 1960s theme party with a few other friends.W: A theme party? Is that like a dress-up party?M: Sort of ... You're certainly encouraged to dress in 1960s fashions!Short skirts, bright colors, and bell-bottom jeans! Or go to the beginning of the 1960s and come as one of your favorite actresses ...But it's not just cool clothes; we'll have food, games, and entertainment inspired by the 1960s. In fact, we'll start our meal with alien noodles in honor of all those space and alien TV shows. W: Wait! Wait! What are "alien noodles"? Why not have regular noodles in honor of the movie The Godfather?M: No way! The Godfather is from the 1970s. Anyway, alien noodles are bright green noodles with purple sauce!W: What?! That's crazy!M: Yeah! Anyway, there'll be lots of other things. I don't want to spoil the surprises. But just for you, we'll end with light desserts and coffee from one of your favorite 1960s movies.W: I can't wait! Ooooooh, I have an idea. We can have a special bar and make fancy mixed drinks. They're always drinking in old TV shows!M: Perfect! And start reviewing 1960s music! We're having a dance contest and a singing contest.W: This sounds like a lot of fun. Can I invite my roommate? She loves all of the classic movies from that time!M: Of course — the more, the merrier! Anyway, it starts at 7:00 p.m. —my apartment.Questions:1、What do we know about those people who are invited to the party?2、What is particular about alien noodles?3、Why won't they have regular noodles at the party?4、What other arrangements do they have for the party?2、passage 2Rock climbing is an activity in which participants climb up, down or across natural rock formations or artificial rock walls. The goal of rock climbing is to reach the top of a formation or the endpoint of a predefined route without falling. Rock climbing competitions have objectives of completing the route in the quickest possible time or reaching the farthest point along an ever increasingly harder route. While not an Olympic event, rock climbing is recognized by the International Olympic Committee as a sport.Rock climbing has been separated into several different styles and subdisciplines. At its most basic, rock climbing involves climbing a route with one's own hands and feet and little more than a cushioned bouldering pad for protection. This style of climbing is referred to as bouldering, since the relevant routes are usually found on boulders no more than 10 to 15 feet tall. As routes get higher off the ground, the increased risk of life-threatening injuries makes additional safety measures necessary. Climbers will usually work in pairs and use a system of ropes and anchors designed to catch fallers.Rock climbing is a physically and mentally demanding sport that tests a climber's strength, endurance, and balance along with their mental control. It can be a dangerous sport and climbers are putting themselves at risk when they go climbing. However, the risk can be reduced by having the knowledge of proper climbing techniques and using specialized climbing equipment.Unit 5 Urban pulse1、Long conversationM: Hi Emily! Something troubling you?W: Not sleeping well. My husband's got a new job in Santa Fe, New Mexico!I'm a girl born and raised in big cities. I'm a little worried ... M: What about?W: Well, my hometown has about 4.5 million people! You know how many people live in Santa Fe?M: Not exactly, but, listen!W: Well, I looked up the population and it's like 70,000! Tiny! It really is a great job for John — my husband, but in a small town! I'm sure there will be no good restaurants, or nice places to walk, no nightlife ...M: Whoa! Wait a minute Emily! Did you do anything besides looking at the population of Santa Fe?W: Uh, no ...M: You're jumping to conclusions —and they're all wrong! I'm from Santa Fe! It does have a small population —but it's an amazing place! The history and architecture is unique. The city center was built in the 1600s by the Spanish. It's full of beautiful shops, restaurants, coffee shops, and art galleries. It has amazing nightlife —full of wonderful people. That's why famous writers and movie stars love Santa Fe, too!W: Wow, sounds great ... What about outdoor life?M: It's wonderful! The colors of the sky and mountains are so beautiful that artists come from around the world to paint! And the sky at night is so full of stars that you feel like you can reach out and touch them. It's a magical place, Emily. Soon you'll realize how lucky you are. You'll have a long line of family and friends waiting to come and visit you in Santa Fe!Question:1、What is Emily going to do?2、What did Emily think life in Santa Fe would be like?3、What is unique in Santa Fe according to the man?4、What attracts artists around the world to Santa Fe?2、passage 2Around the world smart cities are being built while those we have lived in for centuries are being upgraded for the future. A smart city may mean one that uses data on traffic to ease congestion or one that aims to join up services to provide better information for citizens. For many it is about making cities greener and more efficient. It is partly a reaction to overcrowding and pollution and partly because in an ever-connected world it makes increasing sense to hook entire cities up to the network.Masdar is a city that stands in the middle of the desert of Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates. It is designed to be one of the mostsustainable cities on the planet. With a solar power station at its heart and wind farms providing energy for it, it aims to be carbon free. Everything in the city, from water to rubbish, is measured and monitored, becoming a source of information. The city is built on a raised platform to allow its “digital plumbers” easy access to the system of advanced technologies that run it. It is pedestrian-friendly and entirely car free. The city is experimenting with a network of electric driverless podcars. The PRT —personal rapid transit —will run six meters under street level across the city. The buildings in the city have been designed by Norman Foster’s architecture firm, which designed a number of eye-catching buildings including The City Hall in London.It is hoped that 40,000 people will eventually live in the city, with up to 50,000 commuting there each day.Unit 7 Time of technology:A blessing or a curse?1、Long conversationM: Oh! Another call from my grandmother!W: What's wrong? I love talking to my grandmother! She's an artist and tells really funny stories!M: Oh, I love talking to my grandmother, too, usually! She just moved from New York City down here to Washington D.C. And I'm happy to have her here in Washington D.C. I love my grandmother! She's a wonderful person. My problem is I spent six hours on Saturday and five hours on Sunday at her apartment trying to teach her how to use her new electronic gadgets. I set up her telephone, Internet, TV, and DVD player. But she refuses to try and learn and she gets really confused.She just has no idea how to make any of them work.W: Oh, I see. My Aunt Patricia was the same. She didn't really want to learn — so it took six lessons plus nine phone calls to learn basic email! —how to open and close an email, how to attach a document! M: Yes, my grandmother is like that, too. She refuses to learn. My grandfather always took care of all the electronic items –and since he passed away two years ago, she has to handle them by herself. W: OK, I have an idea! You need to get her liking electronic gadgets. Why not get her one of those video games made for families and kids. I bought my grandfather a Wii. He loves it. I got it all set up. The games are easy and fun! These days, he spends hours playing Wii golf. M: My grandmother used to love tennis. Wii tennis. Um ... Great idea! Question:1、What did the man do for his grandmother?2、What problem does the man's grandmother have?3、What do the man's grandmother and the woman's aunt have in common?4、What will the man do to help his grandmother?2、passage 2The New York Police Department (NYPD) announced it will form a new unit to search social media as part of the combined efforts against criminals. This is an official response to criminals' growing use of some websites to plan and celebrate illegal achievements.A Police Chief, Kevin O'Connor, is in charge of an NYPD unit created specifically to comb social media sites like Facebook, Twitter and BlackBerry Messenger for information on planned crimes and their offenders.The efforts against criminals have linked social media to increasing incidents of robberies in the United States and the recent rioting in London. Public safety agencies are consequently looking to step up their efforts in order to better protect citizens against these trends.In the London riots in particular, the police suspect the rioters relied heavily on BlackBerry Messenger to coordinate and plan their riots. Police there are working with BlackBerry Messenger to identify those messages that are linked to burning and robbing London stores.BlackBerry Messenger and other smartphone messaging services make it hard for the police to anticipate criminal activity, especially if they aren't as familiar with the technology as the offenders are. The NYPD unit intends to educate officers about such technology to remedy this defect.For social media providers and smartphone makers, the criminals' preference for their products is putting them in the sticky position of determining how to assist police efforts without betraying lawful customers' privacy.二、读写教程(一)课文翻译(英译中)Unit 2 College-The ladder to successThe humanities: Out of date?人文学科:过时了吗?When the going gets tough, the tough take accounting.

新视野大学英语第三版第二册unit1课文翻译与习题答案
新视野大学英语第三版第二册unit1课文翻译与习题答案制作:刘锟课文A一堂难忘的英语课1 如果我是唯一一个还在纠正小孩英语的家长,那么我儿子也许是对的。
对他而言,我是一个乏味的怪物:一个他不得不听其教诲的父亲,一个还沉湎于语法规则的人,对此我儿子似乎颇为反感。
2 我觉得我是在最近偶遇我以前的一位学生时,才开始对这个问题认真起来的。
这个学生刚从欧洲旅游回来。
我满怀着诚挚期待问她:“欧洲之行如何?”3 她点了三四下头,绞尽脑汁,苦苦寻找恰当的词语,然后惊呼:“真是,哇!”4 没了。
所有希腊文明和罗马建筑的辉煌居然囊括于一个浓缩的、不完整的语句之中!我的学生以“哇!”来表示她的惊叹,我只能以摇头表达比之更强烈的忧虑。
5 关于正确使用英语能力下降的问题,有许多不同的故事。
学生的确本应该能够区分诸如their / there / they’re 之间的不同,或区别complimentary 跟complementary之间显而易见的差异。
由于这些知识缺陷,他们承受着大部分不该承受的批评和指责,因为舆论认为他们应该学得更好。
6 学生并不笨,他们只是被周围所看到和听到的语言误导了。
举例来说,杂货店的指示牌会把他们引向stationary(静止处),虽然便笺本、相册、和笔记本等真正的stationery (文具用品) 并没有被钉在那儿。
朋友和亲人常宣称They’ve just ate。
实际上,他们应该说They’ve just eaten。
因此,批评学生不合乎情理。
7 对这种缺乏语言功底而引起的负面指责应归咎于我们的学校。
学校应对英语熟练程度制定出更高的标准。
可相反,学校只教零星的语法,高级词汇更是少之又少。
还有就是,学校的年轻教师显然缺乏这些重要的语言结构方面的知识,因为他们过去也没接触过。
学校有责任教会年轻人进行有效的语言沟通,可他们并没把语言的基本框架——准确的语法和恰当的词汇——充分地传授给学生。

My assumption is since I have never learned Chinese grammar, what’s the sense of learning English grammar? In fact, English grammar has always been a big headache to me.English grammar is very complicated because, unlike Chinese, there are many verb tenses. Even stranger than verb tenses, English grammar also contains something very confusing. For example, I don’t remember how many times my middle school teacher tried to “impose” the differences between used to and be used to on us. Sometimes he would go on with the explanation for 20 minutes or so. He even summarized the differences by listing three or four points for us to memorize. However, they couldnever stay in my head. I don’t remember how many times I got it wrong with the sentences containing used to or be used to on my exams. I was really confused with these two phrases, and I can never get them right.In brief, I’m allergic to learning English grammar. Curiously, I just wonder if the native speakers of English have a microcomputer in their brain to help them utter the two phrases promptly with just a click of their brain’s mouse!Translation经常被许多不以英语为第一语言的国家使用。

Reading Comprehension (40%)Directions: Read the following passage(s); carefully and do the multiple-choice questions. Text 1Why is it that the more connected we get, the more disconnected I feel? Every advance in communications technology is a step back from the closeness of human interaction. With e-mail and instant messaging over the Internet, we can now communicate without seeing or talking to one another. With voice mail, you can conduct entire conversations without ever reaching anyone. If my mom has a question, I just leave the answer on her machine.As almost every imaginable contact between human beings becomes automatic by machine, the alienation quotient goes up. You can't even call a person to get the phone number of another person anywhere. Directory assistance is almost always fully automatic by machine. Pumping gas at the station? Why say good-morning to the worker when you can swipe (刷卡) your credit card at the pump and save yourself the bother of human contact? Placing money at the bank? Why talk to a clerk who might live in the neighborhood when you can just put your credit card into the ATM?Pretty soon you won't have the hard task of making eye contact at the grocery store. Some grocery chains are using a self-scanner so you can check yourself out, avoiding thoseannoying clerks who look at you and ask how you are doing.21. The writer's attitude towards advances in communications technology may be described as ________.A) critical B) unconcerned C) positive D) uninterested22. If his mom has a question, he _________.A) will find ways to reach herB) will locate her e-mail addressC) will try to get her a voice machineD) will leave her the answer through voice mail23.

If you are like a lot of American workers today, you experience a significant amount of stress in work. Stress doesn't just ma ke you unhappy at work. It can affect your health. Doctors say people under stress have higher blood pressure, even when they are away from work.

A child learns to walk by practicing until he no longer has to think about how to put one foot in front of the other. A great athlete practices until he can play quickly accurately without thinking. Tennis players call that "being in the zone." Educators call it "automatically."A child learns to read by sounding out the letters and decoding the words. With practice, he stumbles less and less, reading by the phrase. With automaticity, he doesn't have to think about decoding the words, so he can concentrate on the meaning of the text.It can begin as early as first grade. In a recent study of children in Illinois schools, Alan Rossman of Northwestern University found autom atic readers in the first grade who were reading almost three times as fast as the other children and scoring twice as high on comprehension tests. At fifth grade, the automatic readers were reading twice as fast as the others; and still outscoring them on accuracy, comprehension and vocabulary."It's not I. Q. but the amount of time a child spends reading that is the key to autom aticity, " according to Rossman. Any child who spends at least 3.5 to 4 hours a week reading books, magazines or newspapers will in all likelihood reach automaticity.At home, where the average child spends 25 hours a week watching television, it can happen by turning off the set just one night in favor of reading.You can test your child by giving him a paragraph or two to read aloud - som ething unfamiliar but appropriate to his age. If he reads aloud with expression, with a sense of the meaning of the sentences, he probably is an automatic reader. If he reads haltingly, one word at a time, without expression or meaning, he needs more practice.35. The first paragraph tells us ________.A) what automaticity isB) how accuracy is acquiredC) how a child learns to walkD) how an athlete is trained36. An automatic reader _______.A) sounds out the lettersB) concentrates on meaningC) has a high I.Q.D) pays much attention to the structures of sentences37. The Illinois study shows that the automatic reader's high speed ________.A) costs him a lot of workB) affects his comprehensionC) leads to his future successD) doesn't affect his comprehension39. A bright child ________.A) also needs practice to be an automatic readerB) always achieves great success in comprehension testsC) becomes an automatic reader after learning how to readD) is a born automatic reader40. The main idea of the passage isA) how to score high on comprehension testsB) reading is the key to school successC) how to test your child's reading abilityD) automaticity is important for efficient readingIII.

Love can be seen everywhere .Yet surprisingly, love has been the subject of less scientific research than other emotions. such as anger and fear. The reason for this may be twofold. First, love is a very plex(复杂)emotion, difficult to describe and measure. Secondly, unlike many radical emotions, radical love is generally not a problem; thus less medical attention has been paid to it.What is love? This is a plex question and requires a plex answer. Love is a strong, positive attraction and feeling for another person or thing. But is more thanthis .It also involves feeling of caring, protection, excitement, and tenderness(温和).When two people are in love, they feel drawn to one another, they greatly enjoy each other’s pany; and they may be sexually attracted to one another. Sometimes it is easier to think in terms of different kinds of love: romantic love, brotherly love, and so forth. Though they are different in some respects, they share one important characteristic: a strong positive feeling toward another. Our feelings toward other people are often plex. We may love someone and, at the same time, be angry with him. Or we may love someone, even though we are jealous of him. We might even love someone and, at the same time, hate for some precise reason.Hate is a strong negative emotion toward someone, and is due to anger, jealousy, or some other factor. Like love, hate can be a very strong emotion. It can also be very dangerous, The question is often asked, “Is it bad to hate?” The best answer is probably “sometimes yes and sometimes no.” Usually hate does not help us; it makes us feel unhappy and makes us do things that may hurt others. However, sometimes it may be necessary to hate and hurt someone in order to protect loved ones.(332 words)1.

Mrs. Wilson and her daughters went to look at the house. Sure enough, there was a “For Rent” sign in the window. A woman next door told them that the owner was Antonio Pompei, who owned a bakery (面包房)farther up the street.Mrs. Wilson has great difficulty walking for she is almost blind, so she waited in the car while her daughters went along to the bakery. The daughters met Mr. Pompei, who agreed to rent the house. However, the daughters wanted to see the inside of the house before they agreed to rent it .One of the bakery employees went with them to the house, where he met Mrs. Wilson. All there women liked the house and returned to the bakery to tell Mr. Prmpei that they would rent it. When Mr. Pompei saw Mrs. Wilson, he quickly walked out of the bakery.
