How to prepare for earthquakes
.
1
Paragraph 1
Ideally, people would like to know when an earthquake is going to happen and how bad it will be. In both Japan and China, people have long believed that earthquakes can be forecast. In Japan, scientists have wired the Earth and sea to detect movements. The Chinese have traditionally watched animals and plants for warning signs of earthquakes. For example, the Chinese have noted that before an earthquake, hens' behavior changes—they refuse to enter their cages at night. They have also noticed that snakes come out of the ground to freeze to death and that dogs bark a lot, even

RomancePart I Pre-reading TaskListen to the recording two or three times and then think over the following questions:1. Do you have a favorite love song? What is its name? Who is the singer? Can you sing or hum the tune?2. What is the song you have just heard mainly about?3. Do you think it appropriate to begin this unit with a love song? Why or why not?The following word in the recording may be new to you:rhymen. 韵;韵味Part IITextA letter or telephone call comes from someone you have not met, and you find yourself imagining what the person looks like, putting a face to the hidden voice. Are you any good at this? Sometimes it is easy to get it wrong.A VALENTINE STORYDoug BellJohn Blanchard stood up from the bench, straightened his Army uniform, and studied the crowd of people making their way through Grand Central Station.He looked for the girl whose heart he knew, but whose facehe didn't, the girl with the rose. His interest in her had begun twelve months before in a Florida library. Taking a book off the shelf he soon found himself absorbed, not by the words of the book, but by the notes penciled in the margin. The soft handwriting reflected a thoughtful soul and insightful mind.In the front of the book, he discovered the previous owner's name, Miss Hollis Maynell. With time and effort he located her address. She lived in New York City. He wrote her a letter introducing himself and inviting her to correspond. The next day he was shipped overseas for service in World War II.During the next year the two grew to know each other through the mail. Each letter was a seed falling on a fertile heart.A romance was budding. Blanchard requested a photograph, but she refused. She explained: "If your feeling for me has any reality, any honest basis, what I look like won't matter. Suppose I'm beautiful. I'd always be haunted by the feeling that you had been taking a chance on just that, and that kind of love would disgust me. Suppose I'm plain (and you must admit that this is more likely). Then I'd always fear that you were going on writing to me only because you were lonely and had no one else. No, don't ask for my picture. When you come to New York, you shall see me and then you shall make your decison. Remember, both of us are free to stop or to go on after that — whichever we choose..."When the day finally came for him to return from Europe, they scheduled their first meeting — 7:00 p.m. at Grand Central Station, New York."You'll recognize me," she wrote, "by the red rose I'll be wearing on my lapel." So, at 7:00 p.m. he was in the station looking for a girl who had filled such a special place in his life for the past 12 months, a girl he had never seen, yet whose writtenwords had been with him and sustained him unfailingly.I'll let Mr. Blanchard tell you what happened:A young woman was coming toward me, her figure long and slim. Her golden hair lay back in curls from her delicate ears; her eyes were blue as flowers. Her lips and chin had a gentle firmness, and in her pale green suit she was like springtime come alive.I started toward her, entirely forgetting to notice that she was not wearing a rose.As I moved, a small, provocative smile curved her lips. "Going my way, sailor?" she murmured. Almost uncontrollably I made one step closer to her, and then I saw Hollis Maynell. She was standing almost directly behind the girl. A woman well past 40, she had graying hair pinned up under a worn hat.She was more than a little overweight, her thick-ankled feet thrust into low-heeled shoes.The girl in the green suit was walking quickly away. I felt as though I was split in two, so keen was my desire to follow her, and yet so deep was my longing for the woman whose spirit had truly companioned me and upheld my own.And there she stood. Her pale, round face was gentle and sensible, her gray eyes had a warm and kindly glow. I did not hesitate.My fingers gripped the small worn blue leather copy of the book that was to identify me to her. This would not be love, but it would be something precious, something perhaps even better than love, a friendship for which I had been and must ever be grateful.I squared my shoulders and saluted and held out the book to the woman, even though while I spoke I felt choked by the bitterness of my disappointment. "I'm Lieutenant John Blanchard,and you must be Miss Maynell. I am so glad you could meet me; may I take you to dinner?"The woman's face broadened into a smile. "I don't know what this is about, son," she answered, "but the young lady in the green suit who just went by, she begged me to wear this rose on my coat. And she said if you were to ask me out to dinner, I should go and tell you that she is waiting for you in the big restaurant across the street. She said it was some kind of test!"It's not difficult to understand and admire Miss Maynell's wisdom. The true nature of a heart is seen in its response to the unattractive."Tell me whom you love," Houssaye wrote, "and I will tell you who you are."New Words and Expressionsvalentinen. 情人straightenv.

Summary of the TextMy students usually complained to me that they had been wasting their time on useless stuffs.I explained them by a story as followed: A group of nomads met a god. The god asked them to gather some pebbles and told them they would be glad and sad for doing this. The nomads were displeased, and they did have a small amount of pebbles to satisfy the god. But the pebbles eventually turned into diamonds. They were graceful to the god and regretted for not taking more pebbles. This is not merely an allegorical fiction. It is s truth proved through my own experience. What your teacher teach you today could seem to be useless, but eventually they would be something with more worth than diamonds.2.

American DreamPart I Pre-reading TaskListen to the recording two or three times and then think over the following questions:1. According to Dr. Hertz, what did the American Dream mean to his grandparents?2. In Dr. Hertz's opinion, who wants people to believe in the American Dream? Why?3. Why does Dr. Hertz say the American Dream is in one's head and in one's pocket?4. What do you understand by the American Dream?The following words in the recording may be new to you:povertyn. 贫穷advertisingn. 广告宣传Part IITextThe American Dream means different things to different people. But for many, particularly immigrants, it means the opportunity to make a better life for themselves. For them the dream is that talent and hard work can take you from log cabin to White House. T ony Trivisonno did not rise quite so high, yet hemanaged to make his own dream come true.TONY TRIVISONNO'S AMERICAN DREAMFrederick C. CrawfordHe came from a rocky farm in Italy, somewhere south of Rome. How or when he got to America, I don't know. But one evening I found him standing in the driveway, behind my garage. He was about five-foot-seven or eight, and thin."I mow your lawn," he said. It was hard to comprehend his broken English.I asked him his name. "Tony Trivisonno," he replied. "I mow your lawn." I told Tony that I couldn't afford a gardener."I mow your lawn," he said again, then walked away. I went into my house unhappy. Yes, these Depression days were difficult, but how could I to turn away a person who had come to me for help?When I got home from work the next evening, the lawn had been mowed, the garden weeded, and the walks swept. I asked my wife what had happened."A man got the lawn mower out of the garage and worked on the yard," she answered. "I assumed you had hired him."I told her of my experience the night before. We thought it strange that he had not asked for pay.The next two days were busy, and I forgot about Tony. We were trying to rebuild our business and bring some of our workers back to the plants. But on Friday, returning home a little early, I saw Tony again, behind the garage. I complimented him on the work he had done."I mow your lawn," he said.I managed to work out some kind of small weekly pay, and each day Tony cleaned up the yard and took care of any littletasks. My wife said he was very helpful whenever there were any heavy objects to lift or things to fix.Summer passed into fall, and winds blew cold. "Mr. Craw, snow pretty soon," Tony told me one evening. "When winter come, you give me job clearing snow at the factory."Well, what do you do with such determination and hope? Of course, Tony got his job at the factory.The months passed. I asked the personnel department for a report. They said T ony was a very good worker.One day I found Tony at our meeting place behind the garage. "I want to be 'prentice," he said.We had a pretty good apprentice school that trained laborers. But I doubted whether Tony had the capacity to read blueprints and micrometers or do precision work. Still, how could I turn him down?Tony took a cut in pay to become an apprentice. Months later, I got a report that he had graduated as a skilled grinder. He had learned to read the millionths of an inch on the micrometer and to shape the grinding wheel with an instrument set with a diamond. My wife and I were delighted with what we felt was a satisfying end of the story.A year or two passed, and again I found T ony in his usual waiting place. We talked about his work, and I asked him what he wanted."Mr. Craw," he said, "I like a buy a house." On the edge of town, he had found a house for sale, a complete wreck.I called on a banker friend. "Do you ever loan money on character?" I asked. "No," he said. "We can't afford to. No sale.""Now, wait a minute," I replied. "Here is a hard-working man, a man of character, I can promise you that. He's got a good job.You're not getting a damn thing from your lot. It will stay there for years. At least he will pay your interest."Reluctantly, the banker wrote a mortgage for $2,000 and gave Tony the house with no down payment. Tony was delighted. From then on, it was interesting to see that any discarded odds and ends around our place — a broken screen, a bit of hardware, boards from packing — Tony would gather and take home.After about two years, I found Tony in our familiar meeting spot. He seemed to stand a little straighter. He was heavier. He had a look of confidence."Mr. Craw, I sell my house!" he said with pride. "I got $8,000."I was amazed. "But, Tony, where are you going to live withouta house?""Mr. Craw, I buy a farm."We sat down and talked. T ony told me that to own a farm was his dream. He loved the tomatoes and peppers and all the other vegetables important to his Italian diet. He had sent for his wife and son and daughter back in Italy. He had hunted around the edge of town until he found a small, abandoned piece of property with a house and shed. Now he was moving his family to his farm.Sometime later. T ony arrived on a Sunday afternoon, neatly dressed. He had another Italian man with him. He told me that he had persuaded his childhood friend to move to America. Tony was sponsoring him. With an amused look in his eye, he told me that when they approached the little farm he now operated, his friend stood in amazement and said, "Tony, you are a millionaire!"Then, during the war, a message came from my company. Tony had passed away.I asked our people to check on his family and see thateverything was properly handled. They found the farm green with vegetables, the little house livable and homey. There was a tractor and a good car in the yard. The children were educated and working, and T ony didn't owe a cent.After he passed away, I thought more and more about Tony's career. He grew in stature in my mind. In the end, I think he stood as tall, and as proud, as the greatest American industrialists.They had all reached their success by the same route and by the same values and principles: vision, determination, self-control, optimism, self-respect and, above all, integrity.Tony did not begin on the bottom rung of the ladder. He began in the basement. Tony's affairs were tiny; the greatest industrialists' affairs were giant. But, after all, the balance sheets were exactly the same. The only difference was where you put the decimal point.Tony Trivisonno came to America seeking the American Dream. But he didn't find it — he created it for himself. All he had were 24 precious hours a day, and he wasted none of them.

Text B Education Methods: East and WestText-related InformationIndividualism: is one of the dominant values. The individualistic theory of human nature holds that the interests of a person are best served by allowing him maximum freedom and responsibility for choosing his objectives and the means for obtaining them, and acting accordingly. This belief follows from the opinion that each person is the best judge of his own interests, and given educational opportunities, can discover how to advance them. It is also based upon the assumption that the act of making these choice contributes to the development of the individual and to the welfare of society. So it is most important for individuals to be allowed full opportunity to achieve material success through their efforts. Society, from this point of view, is seen as only a collection of individuals, each of which is a self-contained and almost self-sufficient entity.Reading SkillsPredicting Content from the Topic SentencesScanning a text before you read it can be a very useful way to improve your comprehension if you keep your mind active as you scan. Predicting the content of the text on the basis of the first sentence of each paragraph---sometimes on just part of the first sentences!---is one of the most helpful kinds of mental activities. Although we may not be able to predict every detail from the first sentences---and although a writer may surprise us with unexpected ideas---we can often anticipate the general direction the author is going to. This reading skill can help us understand the text better when we go back for a closer reading---or give us a good idea of where in the text to look for answers to specific questions.Text AnalysisPart I (para.1-2) Cultural difference: a Canadian teacher was startled by what she saw in a Japanese class.Part II (para.3-5) Analysis of the difference: many Western societies are made up of people with different cultures, while in Japan, most people share the same language and culture.Part III (para.6-7) Advantages and disadvantages with each of the two different cultures.Words & Expressions for checkup1.

现代大学英语3-Lesson 4课文讲解-Wisdom of Bear Wood
Wisdom of Bear WoodI. Pre-class Work1. Read the text and listen to the recording. Try to understand as much as possible with the help of the notes, glossary, dictionaries and reference books. Think over the following questions:✓Introduce one of your best friends to your classmates. Are there things in common that lead to your friendship?✓Why do we need friendship? What can we get from it?✓Can you give us some tips to better cultivate friendship?✓List out the ingredients you think of importance to true friendship.2. Make up a story with the following elements:Woodland, cottage, an owl, an old lady, a little boyCompare your story with the text. Have you found anything unexpected?II. Introduction to the TextIt’s a story about both the beautiful nature and beautiful friendship. It is about “ a wisdom tutored by nature itself, about the seen and unseen, about things that change and things that are changeless, and about the fact that no matter how seemingly different twos souls may be, they possess the potential for that most precious, rare thing---an enduring and rewarding friendship.Why the “seemingly different two soul” become good friends?First, they are both lonely: the boy is lonely because he is in a foreign country with his father; the woman is lonely because she has just lost her dear husband.Second, they have the common interest in nature and knowledge, which is another bond of their friendship. The shortbread the woman keeps supplying for the boy is also one of the reasons.But the real reason for their friendship is the old woman’s selfless interest in the boy. It is often said that true love is in the giving and not in the taking. So is friendship. The woman not only gives the boy good food to eat, she also gives him a new vision of the beautiful nature, the key to the treasury of human knowledge, and above all, her care, concern, love and affection. Does she get anything in return? Yes. Through giving, she cannot help receiving. Although totally unaware, the boy has given the woman great consolation too. He is the real good companion of the woman. He brings great happiness and consolation to the woman. That is what she really needs in her deep heart.III. Basic Structure of the TextPart I (Para.1-4): The loneliness of the boy and his roaming in the woods.Part II (Para. 5-23): The boy met Mrs. Robertson-Glasgow in the Bear Wood and they became best friends.Part III (Para.24-27): Mrs. Robertson-Glasgow became sick and dead while their friendship flourished more than ever before.Part III (Para.28-37): The death of the old lady and the boy’s nostalgia for her.IV. Text in DetailPara 11. the title: wisdom of bear wood: the name of a wood, where, presumably, there areor there used to be bears-a large strong animal. So this is an entirely different word from bear in the sense of 忍受. These two words are called homonyms, which means words that happen to have the same sound and often the same spelling but different inmeaning. In dictionaries, they are put in different entries. More examples: lie/ mine/ lead/ fine/ found/ ball/ bit1.…my family moved to England, the fourth major move in my short life…: Thisnoun phrase could be regarded as an condensed non-restrictive relative clause: which was the fourth…, which is referring to what is stated in the main clause.More examples: Lottie grinned, a real wide open grin./ His father was laughing, a queer sobbing sort of laugh.2.demand that…: subjunctive mood3.overseas:4.every few years5.be used to doing6.wrench myself away from:她努力把身体挣脱开来。
新世纪大学英语1--Unit 7课文详解
2. Experts tend to resort to the term “generation gap” to explain the conflicts between parents and children. Can this term be applied to the cases mentioned above? Though there might be room for hesitation in the adoption of it when “generation” is taken into account, it is far from wrong to borrow the rest in making an analysis. There are bound to be differences, or gaps, in the opinions of two people that give rise to conflicts, and ways to reduce them are by no means easy to be sought, but it is equally true to say that there is bound to be a solution to every problem. Part of the solution to human conflicts is to avoid misunderstanding. 每当父母和孩子之间发生冲突的时候，专家们往 往会用“代沟”这一术语来解释。那么这个术语能否用于上面提到 的情况呢？当然，如果细究“代”的本义，那么这算不上特别贴切， 但是大可借用该术语的其他涵义来分析问题。两个人的观点之所以 会引起纷争，肯定因为存在分歧，而要设法减少分歧又谈何容易！ 但是我们也同样可以说，每个问题肯定都会有办法解决。人际冲突 的部分解决办法是避免误解。
大学英语新课标第三册英语U2B3课文知识讲解
Whereas You Were an Insensitive Fool...The simple truth is that if you want to be heard by your husband, you must speak a language he understands.如果你想你丈夫听你的，你就必须说他能听懂的语言，这是一个简单的事实。
An example: A friend of mine is married to a wealthy money waster (spendthrift) who used to drive like a maniac （madman）—tailgating, speeding, weaving between lanes. My friend repeatedly expressed her fear about his dangerous habits but he didn’t modify his behavior; money was the language he spoke. She gave him one fina l warning: slow down or else. He didn’t, so without any fanfare, she withdrew $40,000 from their bank accounts and bought herself a luxury convertible. I hear he’s a pretty safe driver now.举个例子：我的一个朋友，她的丈夫很有钱，爱挥霍，开起车子来像个疯子：追逼前车、超速、随意变道。
我的朋友不止一次对她丈夫表示这种危险的驾车习惯让人害怕，但他不曾有任何改变；钱是他能听懂的语言。
我朋友给了最后通牒：开慢点，否则……他当然没有听进去，于是我朋友从他们的银行账户里取了40000美元给自己买了辆豪华敞篷跑车，当然这样做并不是为了炫耀。
