2 Do you think foreigners can understand Chinese sports such as t’ai chi and kung fu? This is a strange question. Why not? Chinese people can surely understand sports which have come to China from other countries, invented or developed by foreigners, can’t they? So the reverse must also be true. Many foreigners are interested in traditional Chinese sports like martial arts and t’ai chi, and if they learn them well they can understand them.

1 Work in pairs and discuss the questions. 2 Look at the title and the first two paragraphs of the passage and answer the questions.
Warming Up
Plays usually begin with a “scrimmage” in which players on the field take up particular formations for offence and defence and consist of a series of “downs” (rapid bursts of play in which the offence attempts to advance the ball towards their opponents’ endzone), outside of which the ball is “dead” (out of play). The main points are scored by a 6-point “touchdown” (when the ball is taken to the opponents’ end zone), a 3-point “field goal” (when the ball is kicked through the opponents’ goal posts), or a 2-point “safety” (by tackling an opposing ball carrier in their own end zone).

UNIT 1陌生人的善意1 一年夏天，我从家乡加利福尼亚州的塔霍城开车前往新奥尔良。
在沙漠深处，我碰到一个年轻人站在路旁。
他一只手打出拇指向外的手势，另一只手里拿着一个汽油罐。
我直接从他身边开过去了。
别人会停下来的，我想。
再说，那汽油罐只是个让车停下、好抢劫司机的幌子而已。
在这个国家，曾有那么一段时间，你要是对需要帮助的人置之不理，大家会认为你是混蛋，而如今你要是帮了你就是笨蛋。
到处潜伏着犯罪团伙、吸毒上瘾者、杀人犯、强奸犯、盗窃犯还有劫车犯，为什么要冒险呢？“我不想卷进去”已经成为全国性的信条。
2 开过了几个州以后，我还在想着那个想搭便车的人。
把他一个人留在沙漠中倒并没有让我有多么不安。
让我不安的是，我多么轻易地就做出了这个决定。
我甚至根本没把脚从油门上抬起来。
我很想知道，现在还有人会停车吗？3 我想到我此行的目的地——新奥尔良。
那里是田纳西•威廉姆斯的剧作《欲望号街车》的背景地。
我回想起布兰奇•杜波依斯的名句：“我总是依赖陌生人的善意。
”4 陌生人的善意。
听起来好怪。
如今这年头还有谁能指望陌生人的善意吗？5 要验证这一点，一个办法是一个人从东海岸旅行到西海岸，不带一分钱，完全依靠美国同胞的善意。
他会发现一个什么样的美国？谁会给他饭吃、让他歇脚、捎他一程呢？6 这个念头激起了我的好奇心。
但谁会这么不切实际、愿意去尝试这样一次旅行呢？好吧，我想，那不如我来试试？7 满37岁那个星期，我意识到我这辈子还从没冒过什么险呢。
所以我决定来个观念的跨越，美洲大陆那么宽——从太平洋去大西洋，不带一分钱。
要是有人给我钱，我会拒绝。
我只接受搭顺风车、提供食物和让我歇脚的帮助。
这将是在这片金钱至上的土地上的一次身无分文的旅行。
我的最终目的地是北卡罗来纳州的“恐惧角”（即开普菲尔），它象征着我沿途必须克服的所有恐惧。
8 1994年9月6日，我早早起床，背起一个50磅重的包，朝金门桥走去。
我从背包里拿出一个牌子，向过路的车辆展示我的目的地：“美利坚”。

In over fifteen centuries of its development, English has enriched itself by massive borrowing.

Though some people worry that the language is running out of control, many native speakers of English take pride in the tolerance of their language.5★ Text BComprehension Check: c c c d b dLanguage Practice1. g e d c b h f a2. 1) give way to 2) predict 3) substantial 4) integrate 5) in transition 6) aspect7) to name a few 8) authority 9) dominate 10) had contributed to 11) unique12) rid yourself of。

大学英语综合教程2课后练习答案
UNIT 1陌生人的善意1 一年夏天，我从家乡加利福尼亚州的塔霍城开车前往新奥尔良。
在沙漠深处，我碰到一个年轻人站在路旁。
他一只手打出拇指向外的手势，另一只手里拿着一个汽油罐。
我直接从他身边开过去了。
别人会停下来的，我想。
再说，那汽油罐只是个让车停下、好抢劫司机的幌子而已。
在这个国家，曾有那么一段时间，你要是对需要帮助的人置之不理，大家会认为你是混蛋，而如今你要是帮了你就是笨蛋。
到处潜伏着犯罪团伙、吸毒上瘾者、杀人犯、强奸犯、盗窃犯还有劫车犯，为什么要冒险呢？“我不想卷进去”已经成为全国性的信条。
2 开过了几个州以后，我还在想着那个想搭便车的人。
把他一个人留在沙漠中倒并没有让我有多么不安。
让我不安的是，我多么轻易地就做出了这个决定。
我甚至根本没把脚从油门上抬起来。
我很想知道，现在还有人会停车吗？3 我想到我此行的目的地——新奥尔良。
那里是田纳西•威廉姆斯的剧作《欲望号街车》的背景地。
我回想起布兰奇•杜波依斯的名句：“我总是依赖陌生人的善意。
”4 陌生人的善意。
听起来好怪。
如今这年头还有谁能指望陌生人的善意吗？5 要验证这一点，一个办法是一个人从东海岸旅行到西海岸，不带一分钱，完全依靠美国同胞的善意。
他会发现一个什么样的美国？谁会给他饭吃、让他歇脚、捎他一程呢？6 这个念头激起了我的好奇心。
但谁会这么不切实际、愿意去尝试这样一次旅行呢？好吧，我想，那不如我来试试？7 满37岁那个星期，我意识到我这辈子还从没冒过什么险呢。
所以我决定来个观念的跨越，美洲大陆那么宽——从太平洋去大西洋，不带一分钱。
要是有人给我钱，我会拒绝。
我只接受搭顺风车、提供食物和让我歇脚的帮助。
这将是在这片金钱至上的土地上的一次身无分文的旅行。
我的最终目的地是北卡罗来纳州的“恐惧角”（即开普菲尔），它象征着我沿途必须克服的所有恐惧。
8 1994年9月6日，我早早起床，背起一个50磅重的包，朝金门桥走去。
我从背包里拿出一个牌子，向过路的车辆展示我的目的地：“美利坚”。

While we shouldbe careful to avoid the difference, they do appear to exist. In China,for example, greater is given to developing skills at an early age. The Americans, , place more emphasis on creativity in youngchildren, leaving them to , skills later. American parents tend to avoidrushing in to their children as they try to a task,thinking it better that children should learn to solve problems by themselves. Suchan approach can, , be mistaken for one’s parental dutiesby those more used to “teaching by holding the hand.” Both approaches have their disadvantages as well as advantage, and it may well be to search fora , method that would combine the best of both worlds.The real challenge to us teachers is combining the best of both worlds into one.Creativity and basic skills need to be considered in terms of being means toan , rather than simply as ends in themselves. Some Chinese studentsmay not well in hypothetical settings, but when it comes to real life challenges and issues, they are more than in resolving mostof them, as they are with their strong skills. The U.S. system may be to aim more at producing top of the cream students, but that may dodamage to the big bulk of the of the student body. The Chineseeducation system is not perfect, but it dose produce a workforce. And I truly believe that solid basic knowledge skill focus is the singlebiggest force driving the rise of China as a country.If you visited Karl Green, you might not at first sight think he was .Most of what he owns is rather and he will readily admit to the bottom income . Yet he would that he is poor, for hefeels that his life is full of less riches. Rather than devoting himselfto the of money before all else, he the pleasures offriendship. His lack of interest in possessions does, however, sometimes make himfeel in today’s materialistic society and he still clearly feels hurtwhen he remembers the departure of a girlfriend who did not share hisviews. Yet there are many who admire him, particularly for his on helpingthe poor through collecting each Christmas.How does spending connect to happiness?One explanation lies in “conspicuous consumption’. The idea is that the richdon’t accumulate wealth in order to it. Rather they accumulate wealthin order to display it, and their happiness is by their neighbors’envy.As a result, the country finds itself in the grips of a “luxury fever”- familieswith incomes of $50,000 try to emulate the consumption of those with$70,000, who in turn try to emulate those with $140,000, and so on.It’s just common sense. It’s impossible for a piece ofpaper like money to make you happy. Instead, what makes people happy is the feelingof or power money brings.A recent survey that those from the Forbes list of the 400 richestAmericans and the Maasai of East Africa are almost satisfied. The Maasaiare a herding people who have no electricity or running water and livein huts made f mud..It that economic development and personal income cannot account forthe happiness that they are so often linked to.Our dad is of the older generation. You can certainly say he givesourhis attention. Sometimes, however, we wish he wouldn’t try quite so hard.To be , he seems to have a for embarrassing us by making remarks. He should , but he never seems to learn and just goes on making the same old mistakes . The result is that we live in constant of his well-intentioned in our affairs. Mom is on help, as you can she will always see things from his point of view rather than from ous. Overall,though, he’s a wonderful dad and I you I wouldn’t trade him foranyone in the world.A new research study has found that, what parents might believe, thereis an enormous gap between what they think their children are doing online and whatishappening.In one part of the study, over 500 children from a variety of ages and backgroundswere asked if they gave out personal information online. 73% said that they did.The parents of thechildren believed that only 4% of their children did so.The children were also asked if they had made face-to face withstrangers that they had met online. 36% from the high school group admitted to meetingwith a stranger they had met online. Nearly 40% of these children tospeaking with strangers regularly. Fewer than 9% of the parents knew that theirchildren had been meeting with strangers.Another part of the study found that 30% of children between the ages of 9 and18 delete the search history from their browsers in an to protect theirprivacy from their parents. Common filtering software may be effective,since children will access what they are looking for elsewhere – at a friend’shouse, an internet café, or school. One problem lies in the fact that parents don’tknow much about using popular online software and chat programs, andTo have no clue about what is really happening online. This lack of knowledge onthe parents’part may be no from the situation before the arrival of theweb. Parents don’t know what their children are doing on the Net, in the same that they don’t know what goes on at class, parties, or clubs.With the we can escape into another world at the of abutton. For many this world is a dream come true. They find they cando away with the daily and stay inside for weeks and everything from home. Other, however, may find the virtual world a Internet is slow and everythingat a snail’s space. The computer does not your messages nor does itout. Still others, who get the virtual world, may findcommunicating face-to-face too emotional and unbearable. they feelthis so strongly that they have to from real human contact, hurryingto get back to the comfort and safety of a less demanding world.I live in a small coastal town of 398 people located halfway between San Franciscoand the Oregon border. The nearest traffic light is nine miles north of Mendocino;its closestto the south is over 90 miles away. The nearest four-lane highway is 58 miles east.Federal Express doesn’t here on Saturdays.But there is Internet here. It enables me to work at home, writingcomputer books and articles for computer magazines. It enables local students andhistorian to conduct research. It local businesses –inns, music stores,driving schools – to reach new. It enables local people to enjoy the benefits of email and the ofwebsites and chat rooms.In fact, because small towns have few people, few stores, and few libraries andschools, you could argue that the Internet more benefits to small townsthat it does to big cities. But Internet service providers are not interested in markets. What they are interested in is making money. As a result, people in manysmall towns and areas are unable to keep up with the development of technology.3.Translation (Chinese => English)1)背离传统需要极⼤的勇⽓。

Soon she became his girl friend. The man was very poor while the girl was rich. The young man wanted to send her a present on her birthday. He wanted to buy something beautiful for her, but he had no idea how to do it, as he had very little money. The next morning he went to a shop. There were many fine things there: rings, gold watches, diamonds—but all these things were too expensive. There was one thing he could not take his eyes off. It was a beautiful vase. That would be a wonderful present for his girl friend. He had been looking at the vase for half an hour when the manager asked what had happened to him.The young man told him everything. The manager felt sorry for him and decided to help him.A brilliant idea struck him. The manager pointed to the corner of the shop. To his great surprise the young man saw a vase broken into many pieces. The manager said, “I can help you. I shall order my servant to pack it and take it to your girl friend. When he enters the room, he will drop it.”On the birthday of his girl friend, the young man was very excited. Everything happened as had been planned. The servant brought in the vase, and as he entered the room, he dropped it. There was horror on everybody’s face. When the vase was unpacked, the guests saw that each piece was packed separately.31.

Who do you think packed each piece separately? BA. The managerB. The servantC. The girlD. The young manPassage TwoNonverbal communication has to do with gestures, movements, and closeness of two people when they are talking. The scientists say that these gestures, movements, and so forth have the meaning our words do not carry.For example, the physical distance between two speakers can be important. North Americans often complain that South Americans are being “pushy” because they tend to stand close to the North American when speaking, whereas the South American often considers the North American to be “cold” or “distant” because he keeps a greater distance between himself and the person he is speaking to. In the Middle East it is considered flirtatious(调情) for a woman to allow a man to look at her in the eye. This “eye contact”provides another example of what we’re calling nonverbal communication. A social psychologist has observed that there is more eye contact between people who like each other than there is between people who don’t like each other. The length of time that the person whom you are speaking to looks at your eyes indicates the amount of interest he has in you rather than the amount of interest he has in the thing you are talking about.36. Nonverbal communication includes all forms listed below except __C______.A. gesturesB. body distanceC. talksD. eye contact37. While talking, the South Americans tend to ___B______.A. talk loudlyB. be close to each otherC. keep a certain distance between themD. push each other38. While they are talking, the North Americans tend to ____C____ .A. talk loudlyB. be close to each otherC. keep a certain distance between themD. be cold39. It would be considered ____D____ in the Middle East, if a woman allows a man to look at her in the eye.A. politeB. impoliteC. acceptableD. unacceptable40. More eye contacts may indicate all of the following except that __B______.A. people like each otherB. people are interested in the topicC. people are interested in each otherD. people want to keep talking四．Translate the following sentences into English.(15 points)41. 杰克才开始工作了三个月，经验尚不足，所以让他独立完成这项任务是有困难的。

But such messages bea r a false pr omise, because recent psychological research has not only m ade clear that money can’t buy happiness, but has begun to show that when people org anize their lives around the pursuit of wealth, their happines s can actually decrease.Research on how happiness relates to material wealth by psy chologists clearly indicates that people are happier if they liv e in wealthy rather than poor nations. However, once individ uals have enough money to pay for their basic needs of food, shelter, etc., money does relatively little to improve happines s. Further, increases in either national economic growth or personal income have much effect on changes in the persona l happiness of citizens.Psychological research goes further than this, however, by sh owin g that people who “buy into” the message of consumer culture report lower personal well-being. Individuals who sa y that goals for money, image, and popularity are relatively i mportant to them also report less satisfaction in life, fewer e xperiences of pleasant emotions, and more depression and anxiety.In addition to these problems with personal happiness, resea rch suggests that pursuit of material wealth also hurt social r elationships and promote ecologically destructive behavior.66．When their children reach their teens，parents usually expect_________．A．trouble B．sympathy C．congratulations D．inspiring comments67．In the author’s opinion，the trouble with parents is that________．A．they are too watchful of their teenage childrenB．they are too concern ed about their children’s futureC．they fail to treat teenagers with enough kindness and respectD．they speak ill of their children within their hearing68．When two teenagers came into the restaurant and sat beside the author, her first thought was that__________．A．they were wrong to have chosen this restaurant for dinnerB．something interesting was going to happen over dinner C．her quiet dinner with her husband would be ruinedD．she and her husband were going to have a pleasant surprise69．What does the author think of the two teenage boys?A．They may become nice people if they are willing to change their lifestyle．B．They are typical of teenagers who wear ill-fitting clothes and dye their hair．C．They’re fine young men despite their loose jeans and multi-colored hair．D．They will respect you if you respect them．70．What is the main idea of the last paragraph?A．There is nothing wrong with teenagers admiring pop singers and sports starts．B．If our children admire pop singers and sports starts，it is the parents who are to blame．C．Pop singers and sports stars should not be heroes of our children．D．Parents should set a good example for their children to follow．In the United States,a person can take credit onlyWhat dose the author mean by saying ---------Americans no longer respectWhat dose the author think of-------------------It make’s it comparatively easy forAmericans teaching in third word --------------competition is a unque American(or Western)We can infer frome the passage that free--------an economic system allowing free competitonAmericans would most likely --------------------complain that you were born poor and had had5-8It takes 17 percent of the fossil fuelAccountTravelsDebateLocallyReduceTransportConsequencesOccasionalDietAgricultural选择Judging from the context---------------the game stops for a short timeWhy did the master insist --------------because all he cared aboutWhat caused the defeat of --------------Over-confidenceWhy did the master only teach---------his opponent would be helpsWhat dose the story show---------------one can turn a weakness into选择2What is Cindy’s chief -----------Developing small carsWhen will a company renew ---------when is shells well and bringsWhat dose cindy mean by----------meet the demandsWhat is cindy’s secret of -----------Hard workWhich of the following ------------she always makes sure to attand the。

tree frog
Also known as tree toad, tree frog refers to a family of small to medium-sized frogs, found in temperate and tropical areas throughout the world. Most tree frogs have expanded disks on
At that moment Tree Frog leaped across my foot and sat on the floor in front of my computer. He then reached up his hand to his left ear and cupped it there. He sat before the computer and reached up his right hand to his other ear. He turned his head this way and that listening to that tone. Very focused. He then began to turn a very subtle, but brilliant shade of green and leaped full force onto the computer. And then I remembered the story about the frogs that I had heard last year on public radio. It said frogs were dying around the world. It said that because frogs’ skin was like a lung turned inside out, their skin was being affected by pollution and global climate change. It said that frogs were being found whose skin was like paper. All dried up. It said that frogs were an ―indicator species‖. That frogs will die first because of the sensitivity. Then, I understood.

Mr. Johnson assured them that he would certainly settle the issue. As soon as he put down the phone he scolded his son, “What has come over you?

She craves knowledge and works hard. However, as a scientist, she could not help noticing all kinds of indications of gender inequality on campus. Men and women professors did the same work, but when it came to promotion the administrators were rather selective.

English was first spoken by the Anglo-Saxons who invaded England in the fifth century. They passed onto us the basic vocabulary of English. In over fifteen centuries of its development, English has enriched itself by massive borrowing. As British immigrants landed in America and established the United States as an independent nation, a new variety was added to the English language: American English. Though some people worry that the language is running out of control, many native speakers of English take pride in the tolerance of their language.Unit8 Protecting Our Environment VocabularyI1.1)barking2)evil3)brooding;hatched 4)migrant 5)tragedies6)counterpart7)arecomplaining/co-mplain8)grim9)flocks; fed on10)vegetation11)patches12)Scores of2.1)was lined with people who came to welcome the distinguishedforeign guests.2)the boss silenced all lively conversation in the office.3)wearing a pair of sun glasses, the famous movie star passedthe crowed unnoticed.4)looked deserted.5)were stricken by it.3.1)patches; came into full bloom; were puzzled; mysterious2)throbbed with; sickened; migrant; a chorus3)had crept into; flickered; the starkII.Word Formation1.Compound words age-oldair force daughter-in-law first-rate greenhousehalf brotherice-creamlifelikelight yearsalespersonself-centeredthreefoldoverusestone-stillworldwide Chinese meaning古老的空军儿媳妇一流的温室同母异父兄弟；同父异母兄弟冰淇淋逼真的光年售货员；推销员以自己为中心的，自私的三倍过度使用石头似的一动不动全世界范围的；在世界范围内2.1)poverty-stricken people2)heart-breaking news3)newly-built database4)well-fed kids 5)successful spacewalk6)peace-loving people7)need-based scholarships8)color-blind peopleIII.Confusable Words1.lyingidyin5.liey7.lieyy10.liesComprehensive Exercises I.cloze1.(1)spell(2)stricken(3)misfortunes(4)surroundings(5)blossom/bloom(6)migrant (7)deserted(8)silence(9)sickened(10)hatch(11)puzzled(12)in harmony with2.(1)rate(2)publication(3)dangerous(4)banned(5)export(6)profit(7)accept(8)comprehend(9)boundaries(10)ultimatelyII.Translation1.1)This is a prosperous town, but there is still poverty in the midst ofwealth and abundance.2)The Brown family was stricken with one misfortune after another, buttheir children never complained.3)The museum is designed in such a way that it stands in perfectharmony with its surroundings.4)It was a miracle that these flowers did not wither at all in the blazingsun.5)Flocks of sheep feed on the patches of vegetation that rise above thewinter snow.2.This village was once famous for its beautiful natural surroundings.

They would come over to watch Benjamin and then try to teach him how to do it properly.4. Because he realized that this anecdote was directly relevant to their assigned tasks in China: to investigate early childhood education and to throw light on Chinese attitudes toward creativity.5. Most of them displayed the same attitude as the staff at the Jinling Hotel.6. He emphasized that the most important thing is to teach the child that on can solve a problem effectively byoneself.7. He means that this incident pointed to important differences in educational and artistic practices between China and the USA.8. The manner in which the Chinese staff saw the need to teach the child by guiding his hand in the characteristic of a broader attitude to education, one that stands in contrast to the Western preference for leaving the child to explore and learn unaided.9.

Americans think that unless creativity has been acquired early, it may never emerge, and skills can be picked up later. Chinese think that if skills are not acquired early, they may never be acquired, and there is no hurry to promote creativity.11. This is mainly due to the difference in their way of thinking.12.

As long as we keep working hard on it, we will in due course accomplish the task of mastering English.Unit2 ValuesPart II Reading TaskComprehensionContent QuestionPair Work1.

Though how the English language came into existence remains a mystery to manypeople，linguists believe that English and most other European languages have descended from a common source: the Indo-European parent language. English was first spoken by the Anglo-Saxons who invaded England in the fifth century. They passed onto us the basic vocabulary of English. In over fifteen centuries of its development, English has enriched itself by massive borrowing. As British immigrants landed in America and established the United States as an independent nation, a new variety was added to the English language : American English. Though some people worry that the language is running out of control, many native speakers of English take pride in the tolerance of their language.★Text BComprehension Check: c c c d b dLanguage Practice1. g e d c b h f a2. 1) give way to 2) predict 3) substantial 4) integrate 5) in transition 6) aspect7) to name a few 8) authority 9) dominate 10) had contributed to 11) unique12) rid yourself ofUnit 8VocabularyI. 1) barking 2) evil 3) brooding, hatched 4) migrant 5) tragedies 6) counterpart7) are complaining/complain 8) grim 9) flocks, fed on 10) vegetation11) patches 12) Scores of2. 1) was lined with people who came to welcome the distinguished foreign guests2) the boss silenced all lively conversation in the office3) wearing a pair of sun glasses, the famous movie star passed the crowded unnoticed.4) looked deserted 5) were stricken by i t3. 1) patches, came into full bloom, were puzzled, mysterious2) throbbed with, sickened, migrant, a chorus 3) had crept into.
