C Slacklining
For this activity, a nylon or polyester line is stretched between two points, and the participant – known as a “slacker” – traverses the line. Although it resembles a tightrope, the slackline is flexible like a rubber band, allowing the slacker to perform a variety of cool feats. As slacklining can often be done between a pair of trees at a low height, slackers can practice their skills without fear of serious injury. However, some more serious exponents of slacklining like to take things to a higher level. It was at a height of 1,000 meters that Christian Schou crossed a canyon in Norway to achieve his world record in 2006.
a. Because the author thinks it’s a funny word.
b. Because the author is referring to a new sport.

Doctors and Teachers
❖ Although doctors and teachers both have professional status, there are many differences between the two professions. First, doctors are more highly respected than teachers by their communities. Second, as a rule, doctors can earn more money than teachers. For example, an experienced surgeon working in an urban area can earn over $200,000 annually while an experienced high school teacher working in an urban school district can earn up to $40,000 annually. Last, doctors have many more career options than teachers…. Moreover while doctors can easily establish a private practice and hospital affiliations in another city …. All in all, it’s easy to see that doctors have more respect, greater flexibility, and higher incomes than teachers.

英语泛读教程3第三版第八单元课文翻译假如给我三天光明
英语泛读教程3第三版第八单元课文翻译假如给我三天光明原文:At times my heart cries out with longing to see all these things.If I can get so much pleasure from mere touch,how much more beauty must be revealed by sight.Yet,those who have eyes apparently see little.The panorama of colour and action which fills the world is taken for granted.It is human,perhaps,to appreciate little that which we have and to long for that which we have not,but it is a great pity that in the world of light the gift of sight is used only as a mere convenience rather than as a means of adding fullness to life.If I were the president of a university I should establish a compulsory course in“How to Use Your Eyes”.The professor would try to show his pupils how they could add joy to their lives by really seeing what passes unnoticed before them.He would try to awake their dormant and sluggish faculties.Suppose you set your mind to work on the problem of how you would use your own eyes if you had only three more days to see.If with the oncoming darkness of the third night you knew that the sun would never rise for you again,how would you spend thosethree precious intervening days?What would you most want to let your gaze rest upon?I,naturally,should want most to see the things which have become dear to me through my years of darkness.You,too,would want to let your eyes rest long on the things that have become dear to you so that you could take the memory of them with you into the night that loomed before you.I should want to see the people whose kindness and gentleness and companionship have made my life worth living.First I should like to gaze long upon the face of my dear teacher,Mrs.Anne Sullivan Macy,who came to me when I was a child and opened the outer world to me.I should want not merely to see the outline of her face,so that I could cherish it in my memory,but to study that face and find in it the living evidence of the sympathetic tenderness and patience with which she accomplished the difficult tasks of my education.I should like to see in her eyes that strength of character which has enabled her to stand firm in the face of difficulties,and that compassion for all humanity which she has revealed to me so often.I do not know what it is to see into the heart of a friend through that“window of the soul”,the eye.I can only“see”through my finger tips the outline of a face.I can detect laughter,sorrow,and many other obvious emotions.I know my friends from the feel of their faces.But I cannot really picture their personalities by touch.I know their personalities,of course,through other means,through the thoughts they express to me,through whatever of their actions are revealed to me.But I am denied that deeper understanding of them which I am sure would come through sight of them through watching their reactions to various expressed thoughts and circumstances,through noting the immediate and fleeting reactions of their eyes and countenance.How much easier,how much more satisfying it is for you who can see to grasp quickly the essential qualities of another person by watching the subtleties of expression,the quiver of a muscle,the flutter of a hand.But does it ever occur to you to use your sight to see into the inner nature of a friend or acquaintance?Do not most of you seeing people grasp casually the outward features of a face and let it go at that?Oh,the things that I should see if I had the power of sight for just three days!翻译:我的心时时在呼号,渴望能见到所有这一切。

TEXT AAnimals or children? — A scientist's choice动物还是孩子?—— 一位科学家的选择1 I am the enemy! I am one of those cursed, cruel physician scientists involved in animal research. These rumors sting, for I have never thought of myself as an evil person. I became a children's doctor because of my love for children and my supreme desire to keep them healthy. During medical school and residency, I saw many children die of cancer and bloodshed from injury — circumstances against which medicine has made great progress but still has a long way to go. More importantly, I also saw children healthy thanks to advances in medical science such as infant breathing support, powerful new medicines and surgical techniques and the entire field of organ transplantation. My desire to tip the scales in favor of healthy, happy children drew me to medical research.我就是那个敌人!我就是那些被人诅咒的、残忍的、搞动物实验的医生科学家之一。

Reading Comprehension
Based on the reading text, choose the most appropriate answer to the following questions.
At the other end of the scale, African nations occupied the bottom spots in the survey, with Togo placing rock bottom at 156. The small, West African country was one place below Benin, which it borders. It also finds itself in the company of nations from the other side of the continent, including Tanzania, Rwanda, and Burundi. It is unsurprising to find the latter two nations featuring near the lower reaches of the table, as they have suffered from civil wars and instability over the previous few decades.

Unit 81 TextRevision Time Goes Onlineby Tim EwingtonHome learning is critical to exam success and the computer industry is strengthening links between family and school. Free internet access at home is a huge step in making online education accessible to everybody. As students start to sweat in the run-up to their exams, many of them are turning to the web to supplement their knowledge. The following text is a description of some websites of this in Britain.The tension is rising in the Kelly household. Two dates are ingrained in the family's collective consciousness: May 22 and June 19. They mark the first and the last of Paula's written GCSE1exams. “All the time I feel that I need to do a lot more revision. I know I must get down to it,” says 15-year-old Paula, who is a student at Victoria College in Belfast. “It's not so much my parents who are putting pressure on me, though I know my mum's a bit uptight, but I have two older brothers and a sister and they all say that they were doing a lot more revision at this stage than I am.”Across the country, 700 000 students and their families will heave a collective sigh of relief when the exam season comes to an end. “Even my granny is telling me to do more revision,” says another 15-year-old, Steve Burge ss from West Yorkshire, who is sitting nine GCSEs. “The dog seems to be the only one who doesn't use the dreaded ‘R' word every time he sees me.”When exams were invented so too was revision, but two inventions have transformed the way we prepare. A generation ago, revision notes became a lucrative industry, published under such imprints as Brodie's and York. The second, to which Paula and Steve's generation is turning, is the internet.The leading exam revision site is GCSE Bitesize, from the BBC. It received almost 750 000 hits each week in mid-March, and expects to double that number this month. Channel 4's more broadly based service, Homework High, which helps students aged 9 -16 with their homework, is claiming up to 1.3m hits2 per week.The demand has put tremendous pressures on both services. “Every day we have more than 3 000 kids trying to ask our teachers a question online,” says Paul Ashton, the commissioning editor fo r special projects at Channel 4, “but the most we can manage is 300 answers. We also had to close the chat rooms because they were far too successful. As more students joined in, new chat rooms automatically opened, and at one stage we had 30 chat rooms supervised by only one moderator.There are good reasons for this phenomenal demand. Students are one of the groups most likely to have access to the internet in Britain. Research recently conducted by NOP Kidsnet shows that 57% of school-age children can now access to the internet either at home or school, up from 51% just six months ago. Internet penetration rises to more than 70% for 15- and 16-year-olds who are studying for GCSEs, in contrast to less than 30% of the population as a whole.Feedback shows that important student needs are being satisfied by the internet. Websites provide information, support and encouragement when parents aren't around; students having difficulties in particular subjects can choose their own pace, away from the classroom, to study examples, tests and explanations on the web; students who are missing school through illness can keep up. Of most concern, many students say that websites provide better resources and support in the lead-up to exams than their weaker teachers.Pau la Kelly is sanguine about online revision. “I have used the sites a bit, but not that often. They have really helped in specific areas, such as science -it is so useful to see exam questions and ideal responses as a guide, particularly when you are less confident in that area. I do get frustrated, though, when I know what I want is out there but it takes a long time to find.”Judith Addley, one of Paula's teachers, reflects the views of many professionals. “Revision sites don't replace traditional approaches such as note-taking and practicing exam papers -nothing can do that -and they certainly aren't a substitute for hard work. But Bitesize and the rest are a really good part of the mix and I am sure that they will become better in the future.”We all know that revision is boring, but because the online approach can be quite different from that of a teacher, studying alone can break a mental log jam. Steve Burgess, who is finding the revision of factual subjects such as history and geography hard to face, says: “After reading and writing notes for a few hours, it's great to revise on the computer. The sites are more interactive, with tests that the computer marks and perfect answers so you know what you're aiming for.”He is far more effusive about revising online than Paula. “I found it so difficult to start revising, but I have used the websites most days. When I sit with books and notes and try to learn them, my mind starts wandering after 10 minutes, but I like computers and because I have to move around the site and fill in the answers, it keeps me going. If I haven't touched the keyboard or the mouse after 60 seconds, I can't hide from the fact that I'm doing nothing.”In surveys, helping their child's education is the most important reason parents give for buying computers with net capability, so demand for online revision and homework services is set to grow. With the government's information-technology initiatives taking effect, the number of students with net access at school has now overtaken those with access at home, and, one way or another, three quarters of school-age children are expected to be online within the next year.Though only two years old, the BBC's GCSE Bitesize is the daddy of internet sites for schools. As the name suggests, it provides revision in chunks that are easy to digest, covering 11 key subjects closely matched to the national curriculum.“Bitesize was initially targeted to help every student using the service to gain at least a grade C,” says Frank Flynn, the head of commissioning for schools and colleges at the BBC. “Since the launch, we have added more stretching material. Our long-term aim is to raise the standar ds achieved. We have a proven ability to do so.”Among educators, there is much debate about the effectiveness of learning with a computer. What is clear is that the quality of the content and the nature of the interactivity involved is critical. Simply sitting in front of a PC -surprise, surprise -does not help a student learn, but certain types of computer-based interactive exercises are particularly effective, especially for students who find it difficult to acquire knowledge through reading and listening.The BBC has already extended its service to help Key Stages 2 and 3 students facing exams this month and has ambitious plans for the future. In four years' time, BBC Online's content will cover most of the national curric ulum, from the age of five through to GCSEs. Flynn explains: “We want to provide comprehensive, integrated learning packages that will build a bridge between home -and school-based activities. We want our online materials to draw in students who are in danger of being turned off learning but also to allow more ambitious students to approach the whole curriculum at their own pace.”Channel 4's Homework High is more funky. Five cartoon-style characters inhabit the school, representing English, maths, science, geography and history. The site shows no lack of confidence, describing itself as the world's best homework website. It is very good. Students can ask questions at the end of school, between 4pm and 5.30pm, or at home between 6.30pm and 9pm Monday to Thursday. If your question is accepted, it will be answered within 24 hours, faster than on other free sites, and the quality of the answers is high. The level of demand means you have only a one in 10 chance of receiving a reply, but the reserve of 10 000 answers that has already been built up means that there should be solid, if less specific, help in most areas.“We are very careful about the answers given,” says Paul Ashton of Channel 4. “We provide colloquial advice so that students receive immediately useful help but can't simply copy the answer into an essay. They have to think about the response, what it means, and then mould it into their work.”Homework High is expanding to catch up with demand. New teachers are on their way, the service is being extended to Sundays and students' questions will be answered by star guests as diverse as poets and scientists, to offer a contrasting style of answer to those of teachers. The chat rooms will be more controlled and there will be rooms for both students and parents -separate, of course.In the meantime, let's wish every success to Paula, Steve and all those students and their families facing their final weeks of revision leading up to GCSEs.(1461 words) 译文:网上复习时间蒂姆·埃云顿课后学习对考试的成功十分关键,而电脑业正加强家庭与学校之间的联系。
