Unit 1 Living in Harmony[00:]Listen and Respond[00:]Smile[00:]I am a mother of three and have recently completed my college degree. [00:]The last project the professor assigned us to do was called “Smile.”[00:]The class was asked to go out and smile at three people and then write down their reaction.[00:]I am a very friendly person and always smile at everyone I meet and say “hello.”[00:]So I thought that it would be a piece of cake for me.[00:]Soon after we were assigned the project, my husband,[00:]the youngest son and I went out to the local McDonalds on a cold March morning.[00:]Just when we were standing in line, waiting to be served, [00:]I smelled a horrible “dirty body” smell, and there standing behind me were two poor homeless men.[01:]As I looked down at the shorter gentleman close to me, he was smiling. [01:]His beautiful sky blue eyes were searching for acceptance. [01:]He said, “Good day” as he counted the few coins he had. [01:]The second man was mentally retarded.[01:]The young lady at the counter asked the shorter man what they wanted. [01:]He said, “Just coffee for the two of us.”[01:]Obviously, it was all they could afford.[01:]To sit in the restaurant and warm up, they had to buy something —they just wanted to be warm.[01:]Then I was suddenly filled with sympathy.[01:]All eyes in the restaurant were set on me, judging my every action. [01:]I smiled and asked the young lady behind the counter to[01:]give me two more breakfast meals on a separate tray.[02:]I then walked to the table where the two men were sitting. [02:]I put the tray on the table and laid my hand on the blue-eyed gentleman’s cold hand.[02:]He looked up at me and said, “Thank you.”[02:]I leaned over and said, “Just help yourselves.”[02:]I started to cry when I walked away to join my husband and son. [02:]As I sat down, my husband smiled at me and held my hand for a moment. [02:]I returned to college, with this story in hand.[02:]I turned in “my project” and the professor was touched and read it to the whole class.[02:]The whole class was touched.[02:]I graduated with one of the biggest lessons I would ever learn —UNCONDITIONAL ACCEPTANCE.Unit 2 Optimism and Positive Thinking[00:]Listen and Respond[00:]Attitude Is Everything[00:]Michael was a natural optimist.[00:]He was always in a good mood, always up and always had something positive to say.[00:]If an employee was having a bad day,[00:]Michael was there telling the employee how to look on the positive side of the situation.[00:]Seeing his optimism really made me curious, so one day I went up to Michael[00:]and asked him, “I don’t get it.[00:]You can’t be positive all the time.[00:]How do you do it”[00:]Michael replied, “Each morning I wake up and say to myself: Mike, you have two choices today.[00:]You can choose to be in a good mood or you can choose to be in a bad mood.[00:]I choose to be in a good mood.[01:]Each time something bad happens, I can choose to be a victim or choose to learn from it.[01:]I choose to learn from it.[01:]Every time someone comes to me complaining, I can choose to accept the complaining[01:]or I can point out the positive side of life, I always choose the positive side of life.”[01:]“Yeah, right.[01:]But it isn’t that easy.”[01:]I said.[01:]“Yes, it is easy,” Michael said.[01:]“Life is all about choices.[01:]Every situation in life is a choice.[01:]You choose how you react to situations; you choose how people will affect your mood; you choose how you feel.[01:]The bottom line is: It’s your choice how you live your life.”[01:]From Michael I have learned that every day we have a choice to live fully.[01:]So I will choose to be an optimist.[01:]If I am an optimist I may feel better, enjoy life more, and maybe have more chances of success.Unit 3 The Road to Success[00:]Listen and Respond[00:]Follow Your Dream[00:]One day in a high school, a senior named Monty Roberts was asked to write[00:]a paper about what he wanted to be and do when he grew up. [00:]Monty Roberts was the son of a horse trainer.[00:]He loved horses.[00:]That night he wrote a seven-page paper describing his goal of someday owning a large horse ranch.[00:]He wrote about his dream in great detail and he even drew a picture of a 200-acre ranch.[00:]He put a great deal of his heart into the dream ranch[00:]and the next day he handed the paper in to his teacher.[00:]Two days later he received his paper back.[00:]He got a large red F for his paper.[01:]He went to ask the teacher why.[01:]The teacher said, “The dream is impossible for you.[01:]You have no money.[01:]Owning a horse ranch needs a lot of money.[01:]You have to buy the land, the house, and the machines for your ranch. [01:]There’s no way you could ever do it.”[01:]Then the teacher added, “If you will write this paper a gain [01:]with a more realistic goal, I will reconsider your grade.”[01:]The boy went home and thought about it long and hard.[01:]He asked his father what he should do.[01:]His father said, “Look, son, you have to make up your own mind on this.[01:]Ho wever, I think it is a very important decision for you.”[01:]Finally, after sitting with it for a week, the boy turned in the same paper, making no changes at all.[01:]He said to the teacher, “You can keep the F and I’ll keep my dream. [02:]I will follow my heart, no matter what happens.”[02:]Now years have passed.[02:]This young man’s dream has finally come true.[02:]He is the owner of a large horse ranch.Unit 4 Being Creative[0:]Listen and Respond[0:]Creativity Is the Essence of Life and Nature[0:]Creativity is the essence of life and nature.[0:]The world itself is in a constant act of creation, so we human beings should ask ourselves — Why,[0:]in such a creative world, do some people sometimes appear to be stupid, dull, and uncreative[0:]— Are people really dull[0:]Or are we all, in fact, creative[0:]To answer this, let’s look at a baby.[0:]The whole essence of a baby is creative —it is creative in learning to walk, talk, sing, and play.[0:]Just imagine, a child can create a world of its own imagination and play with it for hours.[0:]A scientist who creates a theory is just like that — it is a play of ideas within the mind.[1:]It is hard to stop creativity in a young child.[1:]You can’t make your child creative.[1:]It simply is creative.[1:]Then, how can our children be still more creative[1:]I would suggest that the first step is to allow ourselves to be creative.[1:]If we ourselves are creative, we can guide our children in a way that is free and unconditioned.[1:]We should give our children a free and safe surrounding for them to explore, make mistakes and create.[1:]If we know a better way to do things, we should guide or “help” the child.Unit 5 The Value of Life[0:]Listen and Respond[0:]Life is a Bottle of Rocks[0:]A philosophy professor stood before his class with some items on the desk in front of him.[0:]When the final student was seated, he picked up a large[0:]and empty glass bottle and filled it with rocks about 2 inches in diameter.[0:]He then asked the students if the jar was full.[0:]They agreed that it was.[0:]He then picked up a box of pebbles and added them to the jar, shaking it lightly.[0:]The pebbles, of course rolled into the open areas between the rocks. [0:]“Is this jar filled now”[0:]Yes, the students said.[0:]But then he picked up a bag of sand and poured it into bottle. [0:]The sand filled in everything else.[0:]Once more he asked if it was full and after some thinking they said that it was.[1:]The professor then took 2 cans of beer and poured the beer into the jar.[1:]The students laughed loudly.[1:]After the laughter stopped, the professor spoke again: “I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life.[1:]The rocks are the important things in your life, your family, your partner, your health,[1:]your children — things that would still remain even if everything else were lost, and your life would still be full.[1:]The pebbles are the other things that matter — like your job, your house, your car.[1:]The sand is everything else.[1:]The small stuff.[1:]If you put the sand into the jar first there is no room for the pebbles or the rocks.”[1:]“The same goes for your life.[1:]If you spend your life on small stuff, you will never have room for things that are important to you.[2:]Pay attention to things that are critical to your happiness: your family, your health.[2:]There will always be time to go to work, clean the house and so on. [2:]Take care of the rocks first — the things that really matter. [2:]Set your priorities.[2:]Th e else is just sand.”[2:]After the impact of what he said settled,[2:]one of the students raised his hand and inquired what the beer represented.[2:]“I am glad you asked.”[2:]He replied.[2:]“It just goes to prove that no matter how full your life may seem, [2:]there is always room for a couple of beers.”Unit 6 Learning to Work Together[0:]Listen and Respond[0:]Be a Team Player[0:]If you really wish to succeed in life, it is very important to be a team player.[0:]For example, in a basketball game, Michael Jordan is a great player, [0:]but he still has to cooperate well with his team members to win a game, [0:]because every member of his team has a very specific role[0:]and every member of the team is vital to the success of the team. [0:]If one player does not play well, the team will lose the game. [0:]Of course, the concept of teamwork applies to more than just sports. [0:]In the workplace and in school, working together is also an important element for success.[0:]In the workplace, it is important to be thought of as a team player, [0:]for no one person can build a railroad or manage an airline. [1:]In today’s world most companies are using team concepts to run their business.[1:]Success in college can also depend on teamwork.[1:]Lab work and group projects are just some of the experiences requiring good cooperation with others.[1:]Human beings are social creatures.[1:]Like it or not, we are all team players.Unit 7 Adversity[0:]Listen and Respond[0:]Carrots, Eggs and Coffee Beans[0:]A daughter complained to her father about her life and how things were so hard for her.[0:]She did not know how she was going to make it and wanted to give up. [0:]Her father, a cook, took her to the kitchen.[0:]He filled three pots with water and placed each on a high fire. [0:]When the water came to a boil, he placed carrots in one of them, [0:]eggs in the second pot, and coffee beans in the third.[0:]His daughter waited impatiently and wondered what he was doing. [0:]In about twenty minutes he took out the boiled carrots and eggs and placed them in two different bowls.[0:]Then he poured her a cup of coffee.[1:]He turned to his daughter, and asked her, “What do you see”[1:]“Carrots, eggs, and coffee,” she replied and asked, “What does it mean, Father”[1:]He explained that the carrots, eggs and coffee beans each had faced [1:]the same adversity, boiling water, but each reacted differently. [1:]The carrots went in strong and hard but came out softened and weak. [1:]The eggs had been weak.[1:]But after being boiled their inside became hardened.[1:]The coffee beans were unique, however.[1:]After they were boiled in the boiling water, they had made the water taste better.[1:]Then the father asked his daughter, “When adversity knocks on your door, how do you react[1:]When life isn’t turning out quite the way you expected, you have a choice to make.[1:]Which will you be — a carrot, an egg, or a coffee bean[2:]If you are like the coffee bean, when things are at their worst, [2:]you get better and make thi ngs better around you.”Unit 8 Human Behaviour[00:]Listen and Respond[00:]The Unexpected Rescue[00:]I was walking along a dark street late one evening when I heard screams coming from behind some bushes.[00:]Alarmed, I slowed down to listen, and realized that what I was [00:]hearing were the sounds of a hard fight and tearing of clothes. [00:]Only yards from where I stood, a woman was being attacked. [00:]Should I get involved[00:]I was frightened for my own safety and cursed myself for having suddenly decided to take a new way home.[00:]Shouldn’t I run to the nearest phone and call the police [00:]Although the thoughts in my head had only taken seconds, already the girl’s cries were growing weaker.[00:]I knew I had to act fast.[00:]How could I walk away from this[00:]No, I finally decided.[00:]I could not turn my back on the fate of this[01:]unknown woman even if it meant risking my own life.[01:]I am not a brave man, nor am I a strong man.[01:]I don’t know where I found the courage and physic al strength, [01:]but once I had finally decided to help the girl I seemed to have changed into another man.[01:]I ran behind the bushes and pulled the attacker off the woman. [01:]While struggling, we fell to the ground,[01:]where we wrestled for a few minutes until the attacker jumped up and escaped.[01:]Breathing hard, I approached the girl, who was sobbing behind a tree. [01:]In the darkness I could barely see her outline, but I could sense her trembling shock.[01:]Not wanting to frighten her further, I spoke to her from a distance. [01:]“It’s OK.”[01:]I comforted her.[01:]“The man ran away.[01:]You are safe now.”[01:]There was a long pause...[01:]I heard the words in amazement.[01:]“Daddy, is that you”[02:]And then, from behind the tree, stepped out my youngest daughter, Katherine.。

[02:25.10]As I sat down, my husband smiled at me and held my hand for a moment.[02:32.03]I returned to college, with this story in hand.[02:35.74]I turned in “my project” and the professor was touched andread it to the whole class.[02:43.20]The whole class was touched.[02:45.34]I graduated with one of the biggest lessons I would ever learn — UNCONDITIONAL ACCEPTANCE.Unit 2 Optimism and Positive Thinking[00:05.81]Listen and Respond[00:08.87]Attitude Is Everything[00:12.53]Michael was a natural optimist.[00:15.46]He was always in a good mood, always up and always had something positive to say.[00:22.52]If an employee was having a bad day,[00:25.29]Michael was there telling the employee how to look on the positive side of the situation.[00:31.51]Seeing his optimism really made me curious, so one day I went up to Michael[00:37.44]and asked him, “I don’t get it.[00:39.70]You can’t be positive all the time.[00:42.52]How do you do it?”[00:45.24]Michael replied, “Each morning I wake up and say to myself: Mike, you have two choices today.[00:53.41]You can choose to be in a good mood or you can choose to be in a bad mood.[00:58.89]I choose to be in a good mood.[01:01.46]Each time something bad happens, I can choose to be a victim or choose to learn from it.[01:08.30]I choose to learn from it.[01:10.88]Every time someone comes to me complaining, I can choose to accept the complaining[01:16.56]or I can point out the positive side of life, I always choose the positive side of life.”[01:23.05]“Yeah, right.[01:24.25]But it isn’t that easy.”[01:25.94]I said.[01:27.13]“Yes, it is easy,” Michael said.[01:30.30]“Life is all about choices.[01:32.75]Every situation in life is a choice.[01:35.67]You choose how you react to situations; you choose how people will affect your mood; you choose how you feel.[01:43.93]The bottom line is: It’s your choice how you live your life.”[01:49.18]From Michael I have learned that every day we have a choice to live fully.[01:54.09]So I will choose to be an optimist.[01:56.80]If I am an optimist I may feel better, enjoy life more, and maybe have more chances of success.Unit 3 The Road to Success[00:05.83]Listen and Respond[00:08.68]Follow Your Dream[00:12.62]One day in a high school, a senior named Monty Roberts was asked to write[00:18.50]a paper about what he wanted to be and do when he grew up. [00:23.83]Monty Roberts was the son of a horse trainer.[00:27.54]He loved horses.[00:29.55]That night he wrote a seven-page paper describing his goal of someday owning a large horse ranch.[00:37.49]He wrote about his dream in great detail and he even drew a picture of a 200-acre ranch.[00:45.22]He put a great deal of his heart into the dream ranch [00:48.88]and the next day he handed the paper in to his teacher. [00:53.10]Two days later he received his paper back.[00:56.41]He got a large red F for his paper.[01:00.81]He went to ask the teacher why.[01:03.42]The teacher said, “The dream is impossible for you.[01:07.50]You have no money.[01:09.06]Owning a horse ranch needs a lot of money.[01:12.73]You have to buy the land, the house, and the machines for your ranch.[01:18.49]There’s no way you could ever do it.”[01:21.86]Then the teacher added, “If you will write this paper again [01:26.28]with a more realistic goal, I will reconsider your grade.”[01:31.32]The boy went home and thought about it long and hard. [01:35.09]He asked his father what he should do.[01:38.24]His father said, “Look, son, you have to make up your own mind on this.[01:44.59]However, I think it is a very important decision for you.”[01:50.55]Finally, after sitting with it for a week, the boy turned in the same paper, making no changes at all.[01:59.39]He said to the teacher, “You can keep the F and I’ll keep my dream.[02:04.34]I will follow my heart, no matter what happens.”[02:08.55]Now years have passed.[02:10.70]This young man’s dream has finally come true.[02:14.52]He is the owner of a large horse ranch.Unit 4 Being Creative[0:5.15]Listen and Respond[0:8.23]Creativity Is the Essence of Life and Nature[0:13.75]Creativity is the essence of life and nature.[0:17.65]The world itself is in a constant act of creation, so we human beings should ask ourselves — Why,[0:25.57]in such a creative world, do some people sometimes appear to be stupid, dull, and uncreative?[0:33.31]— Are people really dull?[0:35.38]Or are we all, in fact, creative?[0:39.12]To answer this, let’s look at a baby.[0:42.24]The whole essence of a baby is creative — it is creative in learning to walk, talk, sing, and play.[0:51.37]Just imagine, a child can create a world of its own imagination and play with it for hours.[0:58.85]A scientist who creates a theory is just like that — it is a play of ideas within the mind.[1:5.57]It is hard to stop creativity in a young child.[1:10.51]You can’t make your child creative.[1:13.57]It simply is creative.[1:16.96]Then, how can our children be still more creative?[1:21.67]I would suggest that the first step is to allow ourselves to be creative.[1:26.96]If we ourselves are creative, we can guide our children in a way that is free and unconditioned.[1:34.70]We should give our children a free and safe surrounding for them to explore, make mistakes and create.[1:42.06]If we know a better way to do things, we should guide or “help”the child.Unit 5 The Value of Life[0:5.18]Listen and Respond[0:7.62]Life is a Bottle of Rocks[0:11.23]A philosophy professor stood before his class with some items on the desk in front of him.[0:17.95]When the final student was seated, he picked up a large [0:22.13]and empty glass bottle and filled it with rocks about 2 inches in diameter.[0:27.98]He then asked the students if the jar was full.[0:31.38]They agreed that it was.[0:34.52]He then picked up a box of pebbles and added them to the jar, shaking it lightly.[0:40.88]The pebbles, of course rolled into the open areas between the rocks.[0:46.50]“Is this jar filled now?”[0:48.81]Yes, the students said.[0:51.48]But then he picked up a bag of sand and poured it into bottle. [0:55.89]The sand filled in everything else.[0:58.67]Once more he asked if it was full and after some thinking they said that it was.[1:5.91]The professor then took 2 cans of beer and poured the beer into the jar.[1:11.73]The students laughed loudly.[1:15.17]After the laughter stopped, the professor spoke again: “I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life.[1:24.41]The rocks are the important things in your life, your family, your partner, your health,[1:30.67]your children —things that would still remain even if everything else were lost, and your life would still be full.[1:39.37]The pebbles are the other things that matter — like your job, your house, your car.[1:45.74]The sand is everything else.[1:47.84]The small stuff.[1:49.26]If you put the sand into the jar first there is no room for the pebbles or the rocks.”[1:55.56]“The same goes for your life.[1:58.43]If you spend your life on small stuff, you will never have room for things that are important to you.[2:5.13]Pay attention to things that are critical to your happiness: your family, your health.[2:12.00]There will always be time to go to work, clean the house and so on.[2:17.03]Take care of the rocks first — the things that really matter. [2:21.61]Set your priorities.[2:23.44]The else is just sand.”[2:26.37]After the impact of what he said settled,[2:29.50]one of the students raised his hand and inquired what the beer represented.[2:34.70]“I am glad you asked.”[2:36.24]He replied.[2:37.54]“It just goes to prove that no matter how full your life may seem,[2:41.99]there is always room for a couple of beers.”Unit 6 Learning to Work Together[0:5.84]Listen and Respond[0:8.63]Be a Team Player[0:11.12]If you really wish to succeed in life, it is very important to be a team player.[0:16.87]For example, in a basketball game, Michael Jordan is a great player,[0:21.82]but he still has to cooperate well with his team members to win a game,[0:26.38]because every member of his team has a very specific role [0:30.22]and every member of the team is vital to the success of the team. [0:34.75]If one player does not play well, the team will lose the game. [0:39.62]Of course, the concept of teamwork applies to more than just sports.[0:44.54]In the workplace and in school, working together is also an important element for success.[0:51.34]In the workplace, it is important to be thought of as a team player,[0:55.83]for no one person can build a railroad or manage an airline. [1:0.59]In today’s world most companies are using team concepts to run their business.[1:6.92]Success in college can also depend on teamwork.[1:10.48]Lab work and group projects are just some of the experiences requiring good cooperation with others.[1:18.69]Human beings are social creatures.[1:21.12]Like it or not, we are all team players.Unit 7 Adversity[0:4.50]Listen and Respond[0:6.95]Carrots, Eggs and Coffee Beans[0:13.10]A daughter complained to her father about her life and how things were so hard for her.[0:19.41]She did not know how she was going to make it and wanted to give up.[0:24.85]Her father, a cook, took her to the kitchen.[0:29.72]He filled three pots with water and placed each on a high fire. [0:35.16]When the water came to a boil, he placed carrots in one of them, [0:40.19]eggs in the second pot, and coffee beans in the third.[0:44.66]His daughter waited impatiently and wondered what he was doing. [0:50.12]In about twenty minutes he took out the boiled carrots and eggs and placed them in two different bowls.[0:58.26]Then he poured her a cup of coffee.[1:2.31]He turned to his daughter, and asked her, “What do you see?”[1:7.09]“Carrots, eggs, and coffee,” she replied and asked, “What does it mean, Father?”[1:14.08]He explained that the carrots, eggs and coffee beans each had faced[1:20.02]the same adversity, boiling water, but each reacted differently. [1:25.79]The carrots went in strong and hard but came out softened and weak.[1:31.09]The eggs had been weak.[1:33.26]But after being boiled their inside became hardened.[1:37.59]The coffee beans were unique, however.[1:40.51]After they were boiled in the boiling water, they had made the water taste better.[1:47.09]Then the father asked his daughter, “When adversity knocks on your door, how do you react?[1:53.82]When life isn’t turning out quite the way you expected, you have a choice to make.[1:59.17]Which will you be — a carrot, an egg, or a coffee bean? [2:4.74]If you are like the coffee bean, when things are at their worst, [2:8.94]you get better and make things better around you.”Unit 8 Human Behaviour[00:04.44]Listen and Respond[00:06.96]The Unexpected Rescue[00:10.29]I was walking along a dark street late one evening when I heard screams coming from behind some bushes.[00:17.57]Alarmed, I slowed down to listen, and realized that what I was [00:21.93]hearing were the sounds of a hard fight and tearing of clothes. [00:26.33]Only yards from where I stood, a woman was being attacked. [00:30.41]Should I get involved?[00:31.82]I was frightened for my own safety and cursed myself for having suddenly decided to take a new way home.[00:39.28]Shouldn’t I run to the nearest phone and call the police? [00:43.53]Although the thoughts in my head had only taken seconds, already the girl’s cries were growing weaker.[00:50.78]I knew I had to act fast.[00:53.30]How could I walk away from this?[00:55.52]No, I finally decided.[00:57.53]I could not turn my back on the fate of this[01:00.19]unknown woman even if it meant risking my own life.[01:05.00]I am not a brave man, nor am I a strong man.[01:08.33]I don’t know where I found the courage and physical strength, [01:12.15]but once I had finally decided to help the girl I seemed to have changed into another man.[01:18.62]I ran behind the bushes and pulled the attacker off the woman. [01:22.77]While struggling, we fell to the ground,[01:25.23]where we wrestled for a few minutes until the attacker jumped up and escaped.[01:30.38]Breathing hard, I approached the girl, who was sobbing behind a tree.[01:34.97]In the darkness I could barely see her outline, but I could sense her trembling shock.[01:41.17]Not wanting to frighten her further, I spoke to her from a distance.[01:46.04]“It’s OK.”[01:47.20]I comforted her.[01:48.80]“The man ran away.[01:50.62]You are safe now.”[01:53.81]There was a long pause...[01:56.25]I heard the words in amazement.[01:59.21]“Daddy, is that you?”[02:01.97]And then, from behind the tree, stepped out my youngest daughter, Katherine.。

She graduated with one of the biggest lessons she would ever learn —UNCONDITIONAL ACCEPTANCE .Read and ExploreTask One Discovering the Main Ideas1 Answer the following questions with the information contained in Text A.1) Why didn’t the author stop for the hitchhiker?He thought that someone else would stop for him. And he was afraid of a possible robbery.2) Did he feel guilty for not helping the young man?No. He didn’t. But he was bothered by hi s easy and quick decision of leaving the young man stranded alone in the desert.3) Why did the author decide to start his journey across America pennilessly? He wanted to test if a person could still rely solely on the kindness of strangers or the good will of his fellow Americans these days.4) What did he discover as he travelled?He found out that others shared his fear. Yet they still stubbornly helped strangers like him.5) What had happened to the trucker the author met on a rainy day?He was once robbed at knifepoint by a hitchhiker.6) What conclusion did the author draw from his experiences mentioned in Paras. 15–18?He found that people were generally compassionate. And those who had the least to give often gave the most.7) Why did Carol invite the author to talk to her class about his trip?She thought the children should be exposed to what else was out there — the good and the bad.8) What conclusion did the author make about his trip when he talked to the students?He concluded that his faith in America had been renewed and that people could still depend on the kindness of strangers.2 Text A can be divided into three parts with the paragraph number(s) of each part provided as follows. Write down the main idea of each part.Part: One; Paragraph(s): 1–7; Main Idea: Because of a past experience of neglecting a hitchhiker in need of help, the author decided to travel across America without any money to find out if one could still rely on the kindness of strangers these days.Part: Two; Paragraph(s): 8–28; Main Idea: During his trip, he found out that people were generally compassionate and willing to help although they might have fears.Part: Three; Paragraph(s):29-31; Main Idea: He talked to school children and concluded in a patriotic manner that in America people could still depend on the kindness of strangers.Task Two Reading Between the LinesRead the following sentences carefully and discuss in pairs what the author intends to say by the italicized parts.1) In the middle of the desert, I came upon a young man standing by the roadside. He had his thumb out and held a gas can in his other hand. (Para. 1)By doing so, the young man was telling the passing drivers that he wanted to hitchhike as his car had run out of gas.2) The week I turned 37, I realized I’d never taken a gamble in my life. (Para. 7)This week I would be 37 years old, yet I realized that I had always been very careful in my life and I had never taken a risk, for example, trusting on the kindness of others.3) It would be a cashless journey through the land of the almighty dollar. (Para. 7)The author is being a bit sarcastic here. He would take no money with him and travel across the US, where it is believed that money can do everything and anything. The phrase "almighty dollar" is a playful allusion to the familiar term "Almighty God"4) Yet I was treated with kindness in every state I traveled. I was amazed by the stubborn capacity of Americans to help a stranger, even when it seemed to run contrary to their own best interests. (Para. 11)I was amazed by the continual show of kindness of my fellow Americans, even though helping a stranger would mean taking a risk.5) I didn’t know whether to kiss them or scold them for stopping. (Para. 13) The author had mixed feelings: whether to kiss the two women for their kindness, or give them a lesson by cautioning them not to trust any stranger, for they could have run into a bad person instead of himself.Checking Your VocabularyWord Detective1 Choose the definition in Column B that best matches each italicized word in Column A.1) c2) d3)a4) j5)h6)b7) e8) i9) g10) f2 A synonym is a word that has the same or nearly the same meaning as another word. An antonym is a word that means the opposite of another word. Write S before each pair of synonyms and A before each pair of antonyms. The first word in each pair is taken from Text B and the corresponding paragraph number has been indicated for you.Example: S virtually, almost (Para. 1)1) S govern, control (Para. 3)2) S signal, sign (Para. 4)3) S participate, join (Para. 5)4) A heave, lower (Para. 6)5) S collapse, fall (Para. 7)6) S establish, found (Para. 10)7) S locate, situate (Para. 10)8) A occasional, frequent (Para. 15)Checking Your Comprehension1 Answer the following questions with the information contained in Text B.1) What is the author and his wife’s opinion about becoming a true friend to someone whose name they don’t know?The author and his wife used to think that it was virtually impossible to be a true friend to someone whose name they didn’t know. But now they realize they were wrong. Years of Sunday-morning bus trip through the city with the same “nameless” people have completely changed their thinking.2) Why does the author say that taking the Sunday-morning bus trip requires teamwork though they don’t know each other’s names?There is always the same group of regular passengers. The bus driver and the passengers acted routinely with due care and attention, as if they were cooperating in a team. The driver should perform his duties well and the passengers should obey the written and unwritten rules. There should be no smoking, no littering, and everyone should behave in a polite and decent manner. Under such circumstances, names are no longer important.3) What can we learn about the silent woman from Para. 5?The silent woman always sits up front and never responds to others’ greetings. Her worn clothing suggests that she is not rich. However, she is considerate enough to bring the bus driver a cup of coffee each time she takes the bus ride.4) Why does the factory security guard always slump down in his seat with his eyes closed?He has just come off a long night shift and he feels sleepy and tired.5) Why was the bus very late one Sunday morning?On that morning a regular passenger collapsed on the sidewalk as he was moving forward to board the bus. The other passengers tried to help him and waited with him for an ambulance to arrive.6) What do you know about the Mexican couple?The Mexican couple love each other very much. They always board the bus hand in hand and are still holding hands when they get off the bus. The woman was pregnant late last year and now they have a new baby. All the regular passengers feel happy for the young Mexican couple.7) Why do the passengers enjoy the company of a group of Haitians?The Haitians have a great sense of fun. The passengers are all delighted to have their company. They always chuckle and nod when the Haitians are all aboard.8) Why is the woman who sits up front always silent?She has a speech impediment. Talking is hard for her.9) What do you know about the silent woman’s family life?She is a single mother with a disabled son who is receiving special care away from home. She lives alone and feels lonely and misses her son very much. The Sunday-morning bus ride is the best thing she does all week, and an occasional visit to the fish restaurant is almost as good as the second best thing. She rides the Sunday-morning bus simply for the companionship of the driver whose name she doesn't know, but who appreciates the hot coffee she brings.10) How did the author and his wife feel about the dinner with the silent woman?They all had a wonderful time. For the silent woman, an occasional visit to the fish restaurant was a pleasant experience and this time it was even better with the companionship of the author and his wife. The author and his wife also enjoyed the dinner and they felt thatthe fish had never tasted better. When they left the restaurant, they were already friends with each other.

Negation and inversionInversion involves putting an auxiliary verb before the subject of a clause.

At no time did he get permission for what he was doing.Not until the next morning did she realize how serious it was.Only later did they learn his terrible secret.Hardly had we walked in the door when the phone started ringing.In some negative sentences, “not” is to negate the predicates in form, but actually it is used to negate other elements of those negative sentences. Therefore, while translating, we should transfer the negation in some cases.e. g. Every man cannot be a scientist.A high executive does not have a large vocabulary merely because of the opportunities of his position.A negative may be transferred from a certain part of the sentence to another in translation.e. g.

The following hints might serve as a guide:a. The problems existing in the relationships between people in our society.b. The negative results such problems may bring about to our society.c. What can you do to help establish a harmonious society as a student?▆Sample Essay for Task 1:One weekend morning, while walking on a bustling street with a light heart, I was suddenly overtaken by a startling moan. Turning around, I discovered the sound was coming from a black mass in a corner. “What’s that?” My heart pounded heavily. I went up and saw a human being, alive but in a dreadful state. He was crouching on the ground with deformed hands and legs, mumbling something. He had obviously lost the normal ability to move and work. A dirty plate was placed in front the miserable-looking man, in which there were some coins and small notes.As my eyes were drifting away from him, his eyes caught mine suddenly. What eyes they were! Filled with misery and expectation, they were looking straight at me. He was unable to speak, but I seemed to hear his pleading voice and read his despairing mind. His look seemed to be telling me about his hard life and his longing for help. For a while, I was at a loss what to do. Should I drop some coins in the plate like some other passers-by or turn away in indifference? I recalled news reports about men pretending to be beggars, who were actually healthy and able to work. Could this be another one of those scams? But the beggar was there, groaning and living. Then something seemed to hit me hard. I drew a five-yuan note from my pocket, dropped it in his dirty plate and walked away quickly in silence.“No good deed is too small.” Maybe we need to bear this saying in mind.▆Sample Essay for Task 2:We are living in a world of distrust. We live behind cold security bars; we do not talk to strangers, let alone go out of our way to help them; we live in fear of fake products. In short, fear and feelings of insecurity fill the environment we live in.All this greatly harms our society. Growing up in such an environment, we tend to feel isolated and care only about ourselves. If things go on like this, ‘trust’, ‘teamwork’, and ‘harmony’ will eventually become terms unheard of.In my opinion, trusting others and being trustworthy are the two basic principles that we should follow if we want to improve human relationships. We may not be in a position to change others, but we can change the way others see us by winning their trust in us. Mutual understanding and love are the pillars that support a harmonious society.。

With hope of finding more survivors / of Turkey’s devastating earthquake / now all but gone, / the Turkish authorities are turning their attention / to caring for those who have survived.

I think that a successful old age is easiest for those who have strong impersonal interests leading to suitable activities. It is in these activities that long experience is really fruitful, and that the wisdom born experience can be used without becoming a burden. It is no use telling grown-up children not to make mistakes, both because they will not believe you, and because mistakes are an essential part of education. But if you are one of those who are incapable of impersonal interests, you may find that your life will be empty unless you concern yourself with your children and grandchildren. In that case you must realize that while you can still help them in material ways, you must not expect that they will enjoy your company
U3
Love means that I know the person I love. I’m aware of the many sides of the other person—not just the beautiful side but also the limitations. I have an awareness of the other’s feelings and thoughts. I can see the other person on a deeper level.
Love means that I care about th e welfare of the person I love. If I care about you, I’m concerned about your growth, and I hope you will become all that you can become.
Love means trusting the person I love. If I love you, I trust that you will accept my caring and my love and that you won’t deliberately hurt me. I trust that you will find me lovable and that you won’t abandon me. If we trust each other, we are willing to be open to each other and reveal our true selves.
U4
