Unit 7TEXT IOn Not Answering the TelephoneTextIf, at the end of a conversation somebody says to me, "As soon as I know, I'll ring you up", he is taking too much for granted. He is proposing to attempt the impossible. So I have to say, "I'm afraid you can't. Y ou see, I'm not on the telephone. I just haven't got a telephone."Why don't I have a telephone? Not because I pretend to be wise or pose as unusual. There are two chief reasons: because I don't really like the telephone and because I find I can still work and play, eat, breathe and sleep without it. Why don't I like the telephone? Because I think it is a pest and a time-waster. It may create unnecessary suspense and anxiety, as when you wait for an expected call that doesn't come; or irritating delay, as when you keep ringing a number that is always engaged. As for speaking in a public telephone box, that seems to me really horrible. Y ou would not use it unless you were in a hurry, and because you are in a hurry you will find other people waiting before you. When you do get into the box, you are half asphyxiated by stale, unventilated air, flavoured with cheap face-powder and chain-smoking; and by the time you have begun your conversation your back is chilled by the cold looks of somebody who is fidgeting to take your place.If you have a telephone in your own house, you will admit that it tends to ring when you least want it to ring; when you are asleep, or in the middle of a meal or a conversation, or when you are just going out, or when you are in your bath. Are you strong-minded enough to ignore it, to say to yourself, "Ah, well, it will all be the same in a hundred years' time"? Y ou are not. Y ou think there may be some important news or message for you. Have you never rushed dripping from the bath, or chewing from the table, or dazed from the bed, only to be told that you are a wrong number? Suppose you ignore the telephone when it rings, and suppose that, for once, somebody has an important message for you. I can assure you that if a message is really important it will reach you sooner or later. Think of the proverb: "Ill news travels apace." I must say good news seems to travel just as fast. And think of the saying: "The truth will out." It will.Perhaps, when you take off the receiver, you give your number or your name. But you don't even know whom you are giving it to! Perhaps you have been indiscreet enough to have your name and number printed in the telephone directory, a book with a large circulation, a successful book so often reprinted as to make any author envious, a book more in evidence than Shakespeare or the Bible, and found in all sorts of private and public places. It serves you right if you find it impossible to escape from some idle or inquisitive chatterbox, or from somebody who wants something for nothing, or from some reporter bent on questioning you about your own affairs or about the private life of some friend who has just eloped or met with a fatal accident.But, you will say, you need not have your name printed in the telephone directory, and you can have a telephone which is only usable for outgoing calls. Besides, you will say, isn't it important to have a telephone in case of sudden emergency — illness, accident or fire? Of course, you are right, but here in a thickly populated country like England one is seldom far from a telephone in case ofdreadful necessity.Is there any conclusion to be drawn from my obstinacy and wilfulness, my escapism, if you like to call it that? I think perhaps I had better try to justify myself by trying to prove that what I like is good. At least I have proved to myself that what many people think necessary is not necessary at all. I admit that in different circumstances — if I were a tycoon, for instance, or bedridden, I might find a telephone essential. But then if I were a secretary or taxi-driver I should find a typewriter or a car essential. Let me put it another way: there are two things for which the English seem to show particular aptitude: one is mechanical invention, the other is literature. My own business happens to be with the use of words but I see I must now stop using them. I have just been handed a slip of paper to say that somebody is waiting to speak to me on the telephone. I think I had better answer it. After all, one never knows, it may be something important.By William Plomer (abridged)TEXT IIHow to Cope with Y our TelephoneIt's one of the most useful things in the world when it's working properly. But as soon as anything goes wrong or you get a massive bill, it's not such a nice number. Actionwoman has some helpful hints.It's only 6 a. m. and the phone is ringing merrily downstairs. Y ou stumble out of bed and of course it's a wrong number.Well, there's not much you can do about that, but there are steps you can take if it happens again. For a start, if you keep getting wrong numbers your phone could be faulty. So you should get the line checked (dial 151) as soon as possible.On the other hand, putting out early morning calls is some people's idea of a joke. Most of us would take action if we received an obscene call, but this sort of early morning joker often gets away scot-free. While you might turn a deaf ear to it the first time, being bothered like this can be as irritating as getting a heavy breather on the line.It's a sad fact that the people most plagued by any kind of persistent caller are those who have made "news" for some reason — perhaps something as simple as writing a letter or putting an ad in the local paper. Or the phone directory may suggest that they're living on their own in that their name may have a Mrs. or Miss in front of it. That's why the police advise any woman in this situation to stick instead to initials only.If the call is obscene in any way, make a note of the time and then phone the police. If your caller simply likes getting people out of bed, you could still ask the police for their advice —once you've had the line checked, of course. Or get the Post Office to monitor your calls, but you'll probably have to pay ￡5 a quarter plus V A T (unless you have a legal case and the police have asked for it). This means the local operator would ask all callers who they were, giving you the choice of refusing or accepting the call.Or, free of charge, you can simply go ex-directory. And arrange for your number to be listed in special records used only by directory-enquiry operators and given to callers on request. In other words, your friends can still get hold of your number but it doesn't appear in the phone book. From "Actionwoman" column in the magazine Woman。

Unit7TheShelter课文翻译大学英语三资料讲解U n i t7T h eS h e l t e r课文翻译大学英语三Unit 7 The ShelterRod SerlingSeveral neighbors hope to find safety in the only bomb shelter on their street when an announcement comes over the radio that enemy missiles are approaching. Can it shelter all of them? Does its owner let them in?Here is the story……SYNOPSIS OF ACT ONE: On a summer evening, a birthday celebration is going on at Dr. Stockton's. Among those present are his neighbors: the Hendersons, the weiss's and the Harlowes. In the midst of it comes unexpectedly over the radio the announcement of the President of the United States declaring a state of emergency of for suspected enemy missiles approaching. The party breaks up and the neighbors hurry home. However, shortly afterwards they return one after another to the stockton house for the simple reason that they want to survive —— want to share with the Stocktons the bomb shelter which is the only one on their street.ACT TWO(abridged)OUTSIDE STOCKTON HOMEHENDERSON: It'll land any minute. I just know it. It's going to land any minute——MRS. HENDERSON: (grabs hold of him) What are we going to do?Throughout above and following dialogue, a portable radiocarried by one of the children carries the following announcement:ANNOUNCER'S VOICE: This is Conelrad. This is Conelrad. We are still in a state of Yellow Alert. If you are a public official or government employee with an emergency assignment, or a civil defense worker, you should report to your post immediately. If you are a public official or governmen t employee……MRS. HARLOWE: Jerry, ask again.HARLOWE: Don't waste you time. He won't let anyone in. He said he didn't have any room or supplies there and it's designed for three people.MRS.HENDERSON: What'll we do?HARLOWE: Maybe we ought to pick out just one basement and go to work on it. Poll all our stuff. Food, water, everything.MRS.HARLOWE: It isn't fair. (she points toward Stockton house) He's down there in a bomb shelter completely safe. And our kids have to just wait around for a bomb to drop and ——HENDERSON: Let's just go down into his basement and break down the door?A chorus of voices greet this with assent.As HENDERSON rushes through toward the basement entrance, HARLOWE overtakes him saying:HARLOWE: Wait a minute, wait a minute. All of us couldn't fit in there. That would be crazy to even try.WEISS: Why don't we draw lots? Pick out one family?HARLOWE: What difference would it make? He won't let us in. HENDERSON: We can all march down there and tell him he's got the whole street against him. We could do that.HARLOWE: What good would that do? I keep telling you. Even if we were to break down the door, it couldn't accommodateall of us. We'd just be killing everybody and for no reason.MRS. HENDERSON: If it saves even one of these kids out here——I call that a reason.The voice comes up again.WEISS: Jerry, you know him better than nay of us. You're his best friend. Why don't you go down again? Try to talk to him. Pleased with him. Tell him topick out one family —— Draw lots or something ——HENDERSON: One family, meaning yours, Weiss, huh?WEISS: (whirls around to him) Why not? I've got a three-month-old infant——MRS. HENDERSON: What difference does that make? Is your baby's life any more precious than our kids?WEISS: (shouting at her) I never said that. If you're going to start trying to argue about who deserves to live more than the next one ——HENDERSON: Why don't you shut your mouth, Weiss? (with a wild, illogical anger) That's the way it is when the foreigners come over here. Aggressive, greedy, semi-Americans——WEISS: (his face goes white) Why you garbage-brained idiot you——MRS. HENDERSON: It still goes, Weiss! I bet you're at the bottom of the list——WEISS suddenly flings himself through the crowd toward the man and there's a brief, hand-to-hand fight between them broken up by HARLOWE who stands between them breathless.HARLOWE: Keep it up, both of you. Just keep it up. We won't need a bomb. We can slaughter each other.MRS.WEISS: (pleading) Marty, go down to Bill's shelter again.Ask him ——WEISS: I've already asked him. It wouldn't do any good.One again the siren sounds and the people seem to move closer together, staring up toward the night sky. Off in the distance we see searchlights.HARLOWE: Searchlights. It must be coming closer.HENDERSON: (as he suddenly pushes HARLOWE aside and heads for the steps) I'm going down there and get him to open up that door. I don't care what the rest of you think. That's the only thing left to do.MAN # 1: He's right. Come on, let's do it.INSIDE THE SHELTERGRACE is holding tight to PAUL. STOCKTON stands close to the door listening to the noises from outside as they approach. There's a pounding on the shelter door that reverberates.OUTSIDE THE SHELTERHENDERSON: Bill? Bill Stockton? You've got a bunch of your neighbors out here who want to stay alive. Now you can open the door and talk to us andfigure out with us how many can come in there. Or else you can just keep doing what you're doing —— and we'll fight our way in there.HARLOWE appears and pushes his way through the group and goes over to the shelter door.HARLOWE: Bill. This is Jerry. They mean business out here.STOCKTON'S VOICE: And I mean business in here. I've already told you, Jerry. You're wasting you time. You're wasting precious time that could be use for something else……like figuring out how you can survive.NAM # 1: Why don't we get a big, heavy log to break thedoor down? HENDERSON: We could go over to Bennett Avenue. Phil Kline has some giant logs in his basement. I've seen them. Let's get one. And we'll just tell Kline to keep his mouth shut as to why we want it.WEISS: Let's get hold of ourselves. Let's stop and think for a minute——HENDERSON: (turning to face WEISS) Nobody cares what you think. You or your kind. I thought I made that clear upstairs. I think the first order of business is to get you out of here.With this he strikes out, smashing his fist into WEISS's face in a blow so unexpected and so wild that WEISS, totally unprepared, is knocked against the wall. His wife screams and, still holding the baby, rushes to him. There's a commotion as several men try to grab the neighbor and HARLOWE is immediately at WEISS's side trying to help him to his feet. Once again the sirens blast.HENDERSON: (should over the noise and commotion) Come on, let's get something to smash this door down.They start out of cellar toward the steps.INSIDE THE SHELTERSTOCKTON slowly turns to face his wife. The angry screaming cries of the people ring in their ears even as they depart.GRACE (looks up) Bill? Who were those people?STOCKTON (turning to stare toward the door) "Those people?" Those are our neighbors, Grace. Our friends. The people we've lived with and alongside for twenty years. (then in a different fixed expression and in a different tone) Come on. Paul. Let's put stuff up against this door. Everything we can.The man and boy then start to pile up a barricade, using furniture, the generator, books, any movable object they can get their hands on.OUTSIDE OF THE SHELTERThe mob marches down the street carrying a large heavy log that is perhaps fifteen feet long. Their own shouts mix with the sound of the intermittent siren and with the voice of the announcer on the Conelrad station.ANNOUNCER'S VOICE: We've been asked to once again remind the population that they are to remain calm, stay off the streets. This is urgent. Please remain off the streets. Everything possible is being done in the way of protection. But the military and important civil defense vehicles must have the streets clear. So you're once again reminded to remain off the streets. Remain off the streets!The minute the mob gathers before the STOCKTON house, they smash into it, carrying the giant log. They move down the cellar steps. As the log smashes into the shelter door, the siren goes up louder and more piercing and it is at this moment that we see both WEISS and HARLOW join the men on the heavy log to lend their support to it.INSIDE THE SHELTERSTOCKTON and Paul lean against it as it starts to give under the weight, under the pressure. The air is filled with angry shouts, the intermittent siren, the cries of women and children.INSIDE AND OUTSIDE OF THE SHELTERAnd it all reaches one vast pitch just as the door is forced open. PAUL and STOCKTON are pushed back into the shelter and just at this moment the lightgo on in the basement. The siren also reaches its top and then suddenly goes off and there is absolute dead silence for a long moment. Then from the portable radio in the corner comes ANNOUNCER'S VOICE: This is Conelrad. This is Conelrad.Remain turned for an important message. Remain tuned for an important message. (a pause) The President of the United States has just announced that the previously unidentified objects have now been definitely identified as being satellites. Repeat. There are no enemy missiles approaching. Repeat, there are no enemy missiles approaching. The objects have been identified as satellites. They are harmless and we are in no danger. Repeat. We are in no danger. The state of emergency has officially been called off. We are in no danger. Repeat. There is no enemy attack. There is no enemy attack.MRS.WEISS: (her eyes closed and crying softly) Thank God. Oh, thank God. WEISS: (in a whisper, his face bruised and blood clotted) Amen to that. HENDERSON: Hey, Marty ...... Marty (I)went crazy. You understand that, don't you? I just went crazy. I didn't mean all the things I said. (he wets his lips, his voice shaking) We were all of us …… we were so scared ……so confuse. (he holds out his hands in a gesture) Well, it's no wonder really, is it? I mean…… well, you can understand why we blew our tops a little ——There's a murmur of voices, a few half-hearted nods, but they're all still in a state of shock.HARLOWE: I don't think Marty's going to hold it against you. (then turning to STOCKTON) I just hope Bill won't hold this ——(he points to the wreckage around him) against us. We'll pay for the damage, Bill. We'll take up a collection right away.As STOCKTON walks past them across the cellar and up toward the stairs, all eyes are on him and there's an absolute dead silence.WEISS: (his voice shaky and nervous) We could …… we could have a block party or something tomorrow night. A bigcelebration. I think we deserve one now.He looks around smiling at the others, a nervous smiles born of a carry-over of fear and the realization that something has taken hold of all of them now. Something deadening in its effect and disquieting beyond words. STOCKTON takes a step up on the stairs then stops and turns back toward them. His face is expressionless.HARLOWE: (with phony laughter desperately trying to relieve situation) Block party's not a bad idea. (looking around at the others) Anything to get back to normal.STOCKTON: (looks from face to face and slowly shakes his head) Normal? (a pause) I don't know. I don't know what "normal" is. I thought I did, but I don't any more.HARLOWE: I told you we'd pay for the damages——STOCKTON: (stares at him) The damages? (he nods) I wonder if we realize just what those damages are? (he looks from face to face again) Maybe the worst of them was finding out just what we're like when we're normal. The kind of people we are. Just underneath the surface. I mean all of us. A lot of naked animals who attach such great importance to staying alive that they claw their neighbors to death just for the privilege. (he leans against the stairway wall, suddenly desperately tired, very softly as he turns awa y from them) We were spared a bomb tonight……but I wonder if we wer en't destroyed even without it.He continues up the steps.防空洞第一幕的内容提要：某个夏夜，斯道克顿家正在举行生日庆祝会。

Mary：And sometimes things happen to you that may seem unfair, painful and horrible at first, but later, you realize that without overcoming those difficulties you would never know your strength, willpower or potential.Everything happens for a reason.Nothing happens by chance or by means of good luck.Illness, great achievement, love, injury and failure all come to test the limits of your soul.Without these tests, life would be like a straight and flat road, but it goes nowhere.It would be safe and comfortable, but dull and completely meaningless. Mary：Those people who affect your life, and the failure and the success you experience can help you to create who you are and who you become.Even the bad experiences can be learned from.In fact, they are the most important ones.If someone breaks your heart, or hurts you, please forgive them, for they helped you to learn about the importance of being careful when you open your heart.If someone loves you, love them back, because they are teaching you to love and how to open your heart and eyes to things. Mary：You can make of your life anything you wish.Appreciate every moment and take everything from those moments as possible as you can because you may never be able to experience them again.Talk to people who you have never talked to before, and when they talk, you'd better listen to them.Let yourself fall in love, then break free and set your sights high.Tell yourself you are a great person and believe in yourself, for if you don't believe in yourself, it will be difficult for others to believe in you.Make every day meaningful and interesting.Create your own life and live without regrets.Love your life and you may have some pleasant, cheerful and happy hours. Mary：If we are strong enough to forgive, brave enough to love, generous enough to rejoice in other's happiness, we can make great achievements in our own lives.。

So while the probability of being made redundant on any particular day and the probability of being sick may both be small, the chance of both occurring is almost certainly higher than the product of the two probabilities.
Text
The reason for this is simply that a driver has more time to think about a red light than a green light, because while the latter is gone in seconds – and indeed is an experience no different from just driving along the open road – the red light forces a change of behaviour, a moment of exertion and stress, and then a deprivation of freedom for a minute or so. Red lights stick in the mind, while green lights are instantly forgotten.

Mr. Levinson, why is Marshall McLuhan such an important figure?L. Well, he did his writing in the 1950s,1960s and 1970s. And those decades, of course, were the first years of television. And he was the first thinker to really look at television as something that had a serious impact upon our society. Interestingly, although he was writing about television, an enormous amount of what he said has even more applicability to the Internet age. For example, he said that television was turning the world into a global village. What he meant by that is when everyone watches the same thing on the television screen, that group that's watching that television program is a community of sorts. It's like the people in a village all hearing and seeing the same thing. In contrast, now in the 1990s, as we move into the new millennium, when people communicate on the web, and through the Internet, they are not only doing and hearing and seeing the same thing, they are also participating, communicating among each other. And so, the notion of village becomes much more meaningful and real in our digital age.I. TV was a... or is a one-way medium, whereas the Internet is a ... is two-way.L.. That's right. There is a crucial difference right there. Most media in the 20th century, in fact all the major media of the 20th century radio, motion pictures, television --were and are like newspapers and books, one-way media. The telephone, which of course was invented in 1876, is a two-way medium. But, it's a two-way personal medium. There is nothing public, or there shouldn't be much public about a telephone conversation. What makes the Internet so different is that it is public but itis also interactive and two-way.I. Marshall McLuhan saw a time when everyone would be a publisher. He was referring to the Xerox machine, the copying machine. Today, we have the Internet which makes everybody an editor, and ... or makes everybody a publisher but not an editor. Isn't this a problem when everybody is a publisher but there is no editor around? L. The traditional value of the editor is to, in some way, stipulate and vouch for the quality of the publication of the production. So yes, there is a concern that whenanyone can put anything on a web page, you know, there is no safeguard for the quality. But, on the other hand, and there is always another hand, I think the reason why McLuhan celebrated first the Xerox, allowing every author to be a publisher, and why I'm now so pleased that the web is even expanding and amplifying that, is ... there is also the danger of editors keeping out of the mix things that are good. What the web does is it removes the middle man and allows the creator to communicate directly with his or her audience and on balance I think that's a good thing. There will be more drivel available. But, there'll also be more gems that would otherwise be hidden from public view.Part IV Technical jargon (to be added)。

Mystery Express
which runs from New York to Montreal, Canada. This trip interests people who have always wanted to play a role in an Agatha Christie play or a Sherlock Holmes detective novel. A typical journey on the Mystery Express offers the opportunity to solve a challenging murder mystery right there on the train. In the middle of the night, for instance, there might be a gunshot; soon, the passengers learn that there has been a "murder" on board.
Several railroad companies are taking advantage of the nostalgia for train travel: they are offering unique tours for travelers who aren’t in a hurry and who enjoy the romance of the past.
The train travels through rich, luxurious forests with flowers, trees, and more than six hundred varieties of birds. Before it reaches its destination, it makes several stops so that passengers can take photographs or have picnics if they want to.

5. Do you think her dad will get Veronica’s address? Why? Perhaps. Veronica is so busy that she might forget to send it to her father.
2. How does the author introduce the topic?
He starts from an everyday situation and then arrives at something expected. 3. What are the typical features of this type of writing? Argumentative writing argues for a proposition. Its goal is to persuade the reader to embrace a viewpoint. In order to make the argument effective, the writer first sets forth clearly what is to be proved and what he is against. And then he seeks to influence the reader through logic and evidence, not merely emotion and power. Finally, he comes to a conclusion or to restate his proposition.

This article first appeared in a newspaper; therefore it carries many characteristics of journalistic writing. First of all. A journalist tries to be objective in reporting. As a result, third-person narrative is usually preferred over first-person narrative. Moreover, the journalist would not make any comments to reveal his/her feelings, but simply gives the facts.

Title：-3.Tom asks Rose if she needs something.
Question：What will Tom do in the post office?
Question：What other things does Rose ask him to do?
They seldom admit that they need this guidance and they frequently rebel against it, but if it is intelligently offered they accept it with enthusiasm.
It varies, doesn't it? Green：
Yes, there are a lot of differences. Robert：
Hm. Li：
What do you do when you are going out in the evening? Robert：
Sure.
I'd be glad to. Rose：
I'll go and get some money. Tom：
Don't worry about it.
You can pay me when I get back. Rose：
If you happen to go by a stationer's, could you buy a pad of writing-paper for me? Tom：
Hmm...
What time are we supposed to meet them? John：
At about half past five. Betty：
Maybe you'd better go without me.
I really wish I could go, but I have too much work to do.
Yes.
But something light.
I try and have a big lunch in the middle of the day. Green：
And we begin work at 9 o'clock in England.
Here we work...yes, 8 o'clock every day. Robert：
Question：When does Green get up every morning in England?
Question：What does Robert do when he is going out in the evening?
Woman：Li
Man：Robert
Man：Green Li：
I'm writing an article, and it has to go out tomorrow. John：
Oh, that's really too bad. Betty：
I'm sorry to let you down. John：
That's OK.
I can understand you.
Yes.
That's much earlier. Li：
Yes, yes, it is.
You'll soon get used to it.
I am sure.
unit7-3.----------
Man：Tom
Woman：Rose Tom：
I'm going into town.
Yes...you get up earlier in the morning. Li：
When, when do you get up? Robert：
I don't get up until 7:30 in England. Li：
7:30? Green：
And I get up at 8:15 and I arrive at work between 9:20 and 9:30. Li：
I see...
At what time er...do people have their dinner? Green：
Oh, it depends on what time they get home.
I don't have dinner till about 7 or 8 o'clock. Robert：
It is in this period that students can be most easily and permanently influenced.
Their outlook on life is usually extremely exaggerated.
They are either far too modest or too boastful.
Not at all. Rose：
Just one more thing...
could you drop off this film at a camera shop? Tom：
Sure, if I have time. Rose：
Thank you very much!
Question：When will they meet each other?
Question：Why can't Betty go to the dinner?
Man：John
Woman：Betty John：
Hi, Betty, Rose and Johnson would like to have dinner with us before the movie. Betty：
Can I get you anything while I'm out? Rose：

I could.
What would you like? Rose：
Oh.
Could you get me a book of twenty-cent stamps? Tom：
Robert, you are from England, aren't you? Robert：
Yes, I am...from the north of England.
Um...Why? Li：
Well, do you find that life is very different from...er...er life in England?
Oh, very often there's no time for dinner...
I go straight from work to...play sport or go to the cinema or whatever it is. Li：
And you eat afterwards? Robert：
They are basically timid or self-conscious;they lack frankness and are usually sensitive but hate to admit it.
They are motivated either by great ambition, probably out of all proportion to their capabilities, or by extreme laziness caused by the fear of not attaining their objectives.
I mean life here and life in England. Robert：
Yes, it really is, because everything happens earlier here. Li：
Oh. Green：
It certainly does. Robert：
Fundamentally they want to be kept busy but they refuse to admit it.
They are usually willing to work, but they hate to work without obtaining the results they think they should obtain.
Oh, that's quite early, Green.
I can...sometimes 9 o'clock or 10 o'clock. Green：
