Unit 5Part BText 1AshleyAshley was reading a magazine when she came across an article about antibiotics and other drugs discovered in European rivers and tap water. If such drugs were present there, she reasoned, they might also be found near her home in West Virginia.Ashley feared that antibiotics in the waters could lead to resistant bacteria, or supergerms, which can kill untold numbers of people.The girl, then 16, began testing her area's river -- the Ohio. With a simple device she herself had designed, she collected 350 water samples from the Ohio and its tributaries over ten weeks. Reading scientific journals, she taught herself to analyze the samples. It was the most scientifically sound project for someone her age.Her experiment, one of the first of its kind in the United States, showed that low levels of three antibiotics are indeed present in local waters. Ashley's study won the International Stockholm Junior Water Prize, a virtual Nobel Prize for teenagers. She received a $5,000 scholarship and an audience with Sweden's Crown Princess Victoria.Her interest in science was sparked by walks in the woods with her mother. But it was the day-to-day stuff -- how water comes to the tap, how rain sticks to glass, that most fascinated her. "Science is not a dead thing," she says. "It's happening all around us."By the sixth grade, she was winning at science fairs. She has won $70,000 in prize money, which she has put aside for college. She plans to attend Harvard University. "I want to make my own discoveries, and not just read about what others have done," she said. Her teachers predict that she will one day win a Nobel Prize.Statements:1. Ashley lives in the state of Virginia.2. Antibiotics in streams and rivers can lead to the emergence of supergerms.3. Bacteria found in European local waters and tap water have killed countless people.4. Using simple equipment designed by herself, Ashley collected 350 water samples in ten weeks.5. Ashley's experiment proved that antibiotics did exist in the Ohio River.6. Ashley developed a strong interest in science when she was in her sixth grade.7. Ashley wants to make discoveries by herself and knows how to make use of what she has read.8. The International Stockholm Junior Water Prize is a Nobel Prize for teenagers.9. Ashley got a $5,000 scholarship from Harvard University.10. Ashley can be regarded as a role model for young people.Text 2Young People Say No to SmokingOn February 16, 2001, the teens from a youth group called REBEL launched their advertising campaign at the Liberty Science Center in New Jersey. By now just about everybody has heard the "Not for Sale" commercial on television and the radio against tobacco companies. What many people don't know is that teenagers from West New York and across New Jersey worked on various aspects of the campaign, and even appeared in some of the advertisements. The campaign organizer thought it would be better than using actors if actual REBEL members were in the commercials.REBEL, which stands for Reaching Everybody by Exposing Lies, is a statewide youth initiative against tobacco companies. The movement, which began in November last year, carries the message that teens no longer want to be targeted by tobacco companies in their advertisements. Knowing that peer pressure on teens to smoke or do drugs is one of the biggest problems that teens face, the group is working hard to ensure that their message reaches all teenagers at New Jersey schools.When the group was first formed, there were only five members, all eighth grade students. But by this summer the group had grown to close to 90 members. At a recent recruiting party, a pizza and pool party, at the West New York swimming pool, more than 50 new members were attracted to the group."We don't think that too many people would be interested," said Jackie, one of its founding members. "But everyone knows our message. They know who we are now."Questions:1. When did REBEL launch their advertising campaign?2. How many members did REBEL have by the summer of 2001?3. Who are the members of REBEL?4. What did REBEL do for their campaign against tobacco companies?5. What did REBEL do recently?Part CSkatescootersIn Hong Kong these days, you will often see people riding skatescooters in the streets. Depending on which way you look at them, they can be great for performing tricks or are just the latest fashionable commodity. Fung is one of the more experienced skatescooter riders, as he has been practising his technique for about a year. His curly hair and baggy jeans show his devotion to street fashion and being comfortable. He has a deep passion for and understanding of this sport."I started riding skatescooter a year ago, but at that time there was no one to share the experience with or learn new tricks from," he explained. "Now that it has caught on and more people take part in it, it is more enjoyable."Most of the best brands of skatescooters are made in Switzerland and began to be importedRoger: And if you decide she should wait, she can get a job, take classes at a community college or do an internship to get experience. She may be just one of those who need to see a bit of real life before they settle down.Questions:1. What is Jenny worried about?2. What is Jenny's daughter interested in?3. What does Roger recommend Jenny do with her daughter now?4. Which of the following is not a suggestion given by Roger?5. What can you infer about the relationship between Roger and Jenny?重点单词及词组Part Bcame across 偶遇antibiotic 抗生的resistant 抵抗的，有抵抗的bacteria 细菌fascinate 使着迷put aside 撇开commercial 商业的statewide 遍及全州的recruiting 征募亲兵,复原initiative 主动Part Ctrick 诡计，欺骗commodity 日用品regard as 把…看作executive 执行者Part Dtuition 学费scholarship 奖学金be wrapped up in 被包藏于settle down 定居pay attention to 注意。

Part Two: A Brief Introduction of Alex Haley
Alex Haley(1921-1992) Journalist, Novelist The author of the widely acclaimed novel Roots was born in Ithaca, New York on August 11, 1921, and reared in Henning, Tennessee. The oldest of three sons of a college professor father and a mother who taught grade school, Haley graduated from high school at fifteen and attended college for two years before enlisting in the United States Coast Guard as a messboy in 1939. He severed there till 1959.
Haley's greatest success was Roots: The Saga of an American Family (1976). This well-researched genealogy--born of the history recited by Haley's maternal grandmother--covers seven American generations, from the enslavement of Haley's African ancestors to his own genealogical quest. The work forcefully shows relationships between generations and between races.

这就像参加晚会时, 盯着那些似曾相识的脸孔, 可怎么也想不起名字一样。
2.. He looked conf used, a reminder that clever’s not clever if it doesn’t communicate.He looked confused, and his puzzled look reminded me that my answer was not clever at all because it couldn’t be understood.他一脸的迷惑，这是在提醒我，如果不能使对方明白，这词儿就不能算用得聪明。
3.Just not right now, now when it mattered, now when the fate ofa curious, intelligent immigrant hung on the answers he assumed would fall from a native speaker’s tongue as naturally as leaves from an October tree.I couldn’t say the answer right now, because this answer was so important that the fate of this curious and intelligent Pakistani driver kind of relied on it. I couldn’t tell the answer precisely, though he supposed it would be so natural for me to give him an answer as a native speaker, as natural as leaves falling from an October tree.这我可以回答，但不是在此时。

Unit 5 The New Parent Trap每年，我们许多人把我们的婚姻更美好生活的一页。
我们这样做了充满希望，走出了一条美国乐观：它会比这更好。
通常，它是。
我们都知道的人谁给不幸的婚姻，找到自己或其他合作伙伴甚至更幸福。
但是，我们不喜欢看离婚的后果。
这部分是太痛苦了。
每过一段时间，尽管在表面的文化的东西，抓住我们的衣领。
我1977年的小说，克莱默主场迎战克莱默，和奥斯卡奖获奖影片，就是这样改编，似乎这样做的人，带回家影响家庭生活的困扰的离婚。
这个题目也审议辩论）的书，几年前在罚款（和非常意外的遗产，离婚由朱学沃勒斯坦，朱莉娅路易斯和桑德拉布莱克斯利米。
总的来说，虽然离婚是不是真的在我们的雷达屏幕上。
或多或少恰好今天在美国生活。
我们翻开新的一页。
我们继续前进。
几年以前，在一个大学的社会学课程，我记得得知在结束第一次婚姻的离婚数字是百分之二十五的工作。
今天，来自美国人口普查局中常用的数字是百分之五十。
对于国家卫生统计中心，略带采取更有利的物质（和稍微不同的方法），说百分之43。
无论哪种方式，这些数字是惊人的。
大约1亿到大约1亿离婚下的孩子成为离婚的18岁以下儿童每年转换。
奇怪的是，有没有危机感的民族。
即使是离婚语言已经消毒。
请记住这个词“破碎的家庭，”这意味着损害？这几乎已经消失的文化。
在我的新小说，一个完美的离婚，好心的父母对一个十几岁的男孩-出于美国的乐观和否定好位-认为他们可以管理一个智能离婚，并保持相对的儿子为他们的痛苦。
但是，在他大学一年级，汤米伯罗斯失去他的去路。
他掉出来，从工作到工作反弹。
他的情感过山车乘坐会影响所有两岸人民的生命- 他的朋友，祖父母，雇主。
汤米的父母，罗布和Karen，就像谁相信，如果你对你的孩子爱，分手就比较顺利的许多其他问题。
在我看来，这是伟大的美国神话的完美离婚。
拉里沙利文，纽约心理医生，已经工作了30年以上的已婚夫妇，单身，离婚夫妇和离婚的孩子。
“当然是有一个神话的土地，”他说。

在美国，每年11月的最后一个星期四是举国同庆的感恩节，规定从这一 天起休假三天。即使远在异乡的美国人也都要在节日前赶回去与家人团聚， 共庆佳节。美国人对感恩节重视的程度，堪与传统的盛大节日－圣诞节相 比。 • 为什么叫感恩节呢？追根溯源，感恩节是和美洲古代的印第安人，特别是 和玉米的种植有十分密切的关系。1620年9月6日，一批英国清教徒难以忍 受宗教的迫害，搭乘“五月花号”木船驶往美洲。他们在疲劳、饥饿、寒 冷和疾病的袭击下在大西洋上漂泊了65天，最后到达北美殖民地的普利茅 斯。 • 当时正值冬季，气候严寒，田野寂寥。当地印第安人慷慨地拿出贮藏越冬 的玉米和土豆，送去猎获的野鸭和火鸡。春天来了，印第安人教他们种植 玉米和南瓜，饲养火鸡。白人移民和印第安人建立了亲密的友谊。这年秋 季玉米丰收，移民们举行了丰盛的感恩会，用烤火鸡和玉米糕点款待印第 安人。印第安人带着各种玉米制品、烤火鸡、南瓜馅饼、野葡萄以及玉米 酒浆等参加晚会，人们欢唱歌舞，通霄达旦。以后在每年玉米收获后的11 月底，定居在这里的白人移民都要举行感恩会，家家烤火鸡，烹制玉米食 品，款待印第安人。长此以往，这种感恩会就成为一种惯例。但是，当时 感恩节的时间并不固定，直至1863年，美国总统林肯宣布把感恩节定为全 国性的节日，号召人民同心同德，为美国的繁荣昌盛作出努力。为了纪念 感恩节，在普利茅斯城的萨摩特大街修建了一座巨大的移民先驱者纪念碑。 高达10米的乳白色先民雕像，搭着披肩，手指苍穹，在四块大理石浮雌上 描述了到普利茅斯未的第一批移民的故事和感恩节的渊源。现今，玉米制 品仍然是欢度感恩节的不可缺少的食品之

Unit 5TEXT IThe Light at the End of the ChunnelTextIn a hotel lobby in Sandgate, England, not two miles from the soon-to-be-opened English Channel Tunnel, stiff upper lips trembled. For the first time since the last ice age, England was about to be linked to France."I'd rather England become the 51st state of the U. S. A. than get tied up to there," said a retired civil servant with a complexion the color of ruby port. He nodded toward the steel gray Channel out the window, his pale blue eyes filled with foreboding."A wful place," added his wife, lifting a teacup to her lips. "They drink all the time, and the food is terrible. When I go to the Continent, I take my own bottle of English sauce.""We don't care much for the French," her husband concluded. "But the French. ..." Here a pause, a shudder, as the gull-wing eyebrows shot upward. "The French don't care for anybody."On the other side of the Channel, the entente was scarcely more cordiale. In Vieux Coquelles, a village a beet field away from the French terminal near Calais, Clotaire Fournier walked into his farmhouse."I went to England once," he said, sinking into a chair in the dining room. "Never again! All they eat is ketchup. " A tiny explosion of air from pursed lips, then the coup de grac e. "Y ou can't even get a decent glass of red wine!"Well, by grace of one of the engineering feats of the century, for richer or poorer, better or worse, England and France are getting hitched. On May 6, 1994, Queen Elizabeth of Britain and President Francois Mitterrand of France are scheduled to inaugurate the English Channel Tunnel ("Chunnel" for short), sweeping aside 200 years of failed cross-Channel-link schemes, 1,000 years of historical rift, and 8,000 years of geographic divide.The 31-mile-long Chunnel is really three parallel tunnels: two for trains and a service tunnel. It snakes from Folkestone, England, to Coquelles, France, an average of 150 feet below the seabed. Drive onto a train at one end; stay in your car and drive off Le Shuttle at the other 35 minutes later. Later this year [i. e. , 1994] Eurostar passenger trains will provide through service: London to Paris in three hours; London to Brussels in three hours, ten minutes.The Chunnel rewrites geography, at least in the English psyche. The moat has been breached. Britain no longer is an island.It's June 28, 1991, and I'm packed into a construction workers' train along with several dozen other journalists. We're headed out from the English side to the breakthrough ceremony for the south running tunnel — the last to be completed.The Chunnel is a work in progress. The concrete walls await final installation of the power, water, and communication lines that will turn it into a transport system. White dust fills the air. The train screeches painfully. "Makes you appreciate British Rail," someone jokes.Finally we reach the breakthrough site. The two machines that dug this tunnel started from opposite sides of the Channel and worked toward the middle. Now we're staring at the30-foot-diameter face of the French tunnel boring machine (TBM), "Catherine."In one of those vive la difference quirks that color the project, the French gave women's names to their machines. On the British side, it's by the numbers — like TBM No. 6. Another difference: French workers wear chic, well-cut, taupe jumpsuits with red and blue racing stripes down the sleeves. The British uniform is pure grunge: baggy, bright orange.Looking up, I imagine 180 feet of Channel above my head —ferries, tankers, a Dover sole or two. ...The grating of the TBM interrupts my reverie. Its cutterhead — a huge wheel with tungsten-tipped teeth — chews into the last trace of rock separating England from France.Music blares, and lights glare. Several Frenchmen scramble through. Thunderous applause erupts as dozens more follow. Strangely moving, this connecting of countries. Champagne corks pop, and French workers hug British counterparts."I might have opposed it 30 years ago, but now it's my tunnel," an Englishman says.French tunnelers are still climbing through. "So many," I say, turning to a French official."And there are 56 million more behind them," he replies.Apres le tunnel, le deluge? Eurotunnel hopes so. It predicts eight million passengers a year by 1996. The flow will be lopsided. Only 30 percent of the traffic will be headed to Britain. "The French don't take holidays in England," explains Jeanne Labrousse, a Eurotunnel executive. Hmmmm. Why do the French visit Britain? For the food? The weather? Fashion?Mme. Labrousse seemed thoughtful."Of course," she brightened, "we will work on selling the idea."From National Geographic, May 1994, by Cathy Newman.。

Perry Como
Perry Como has a very fine, silky voice, just the sort of voice one needs for a sentimental song full of familiar phrases such as “there’s no place like home” and “home sweet home”. It sounds as if he is singing about Thanksgiving, as he sings of “homemade pumpkin pie”, a traditional dish for the Thanksgiving holiday. Thanksgiving for Americans is much like Spring Festival for us, a time when families try to get back together. In America people often travel many miles to get back to their hometown, whether it’s from north to south, “Pennsylvania … down to Dixie” (Dixie is a traditional name for the American South) or from east to west, “the Atlantic to Pacific”.

Source: http://www.foxnews.eom/story/0,2933,582749,00.htmlH1N1 Flu Is a False Pandemic, Health Expert ClaimsMonday, January 11, 2010A leading health expert said the swine flu scare was a "false pandemic n led by drug companies that stood to make billions from vaccines, The Sun reported Monday.Wolfgang Wodarg, head of health at the Council of Europe, claimed major firms organized a "campaign of panic” to put pressure on the World Health Org anization (WHO) to declare a pandemic.He believes it is "one of the greatest medicine scandals of the century,'1and he has called for an inquiry.An emergency debate on the issue will be held by the Council of Europe later this month.The Council of Europe covers 47 European countries and seeks to develop common and democratic principles between the nations.Wodarg said, "It's just a normal kind of flu. It does not cause a tenth of deaths caused by the classic seasonal flu."The great campaign of panic we have seen provided a golden opportunity for representatives from labs who knew they would hit the jackpot in the case of a pandemic being declared."We want to clarify everything that brought about this massive operation of disinformation. We want to know who made decisions, on the basis of what evidence, and precisely how the influence of the pharmaceutical industry came to bear on the decision-making.nHe added: "A group of people in the WHO is associated very closely with the pharmaceutical industry.'1The WHO recently reaffirmed its stance that the pandemic is not over. However, the number of swine flu deaths is dramatically lower than expected.In an interview with France's L'Humanite Sunday, Wodarg also raised concerns about swine flu vaccines."The vaccines were developed too quickly. Some ingredients were insufficiently tested,*' he said.H But there is worse to come. The vaccine developed by Novartis was produced in a bioreactor from cancerous cells, a technique that had never been used until now."This was not necessary. It has also led to a considerable mismanagement of public money."The time has come at last for us to make demands on governments. The purpose of the inquiry is to prevent more false alarms of this type in the future.""We must make sure people can rely on the analysis and the expertise of national and international public institutions. The latter are now discredited, because millions of people have been vaccinated with products with inherent possible health risks."来源：/027984_swine_flu_vaccines.htmlH1N1 swine flu hoax falls apart at the seamsWednesday, January 20, 2010by Mike Adams, the Health RangerEditor of (See all articles...)(NaturalNews) The great swine flu hoax of 2009 is now falling apart at the seams as one country after another unloads hundreds of millions of doses of unused swine flu vaccines. No informed person wants the injection anymore, and the entire fear-based campaign to promote the vaccines has now been exposed as outright quackery and propaganda.Even doctors are now calling the pandemic a complete hoax. As reported on FoxNews, Dr. Wolfgang Wodarg, a leading health authority in Europe, says that drug companies "organized a 'campaign of panic1to put pressure on the World Health Organization (WHO) to declare a pandemic. He believes it is 'one of the greatest medicine scandals of the century/ and he has called for an inquiry.1' (http://www.foxnews.eom/story/0,2933...)H1N1 swine flu was never dangerous, and it never should have been escalated to a level-six pandemic in the first place. It was all a big marketing scam whose purpose was to simply sell vaccines. (And the CDC and WHO were in on it...)And it worked! Big Pharma made out with billions of dollars in profits for a useless vaccine that's now being dumped by the truck load. These vaccines were, of course, paid for with taxpayer dollars, making the Great Swine Flu Hoax of 2009 nothing more than an elaborate financial scam whose goal was to transfer wealth from the People to the shareholders of Big Pharma.In just the fourth quarter of 2009, GlaxoSmithKline shipped $1.4 billion worth of vaccines. (/article/idUS...)That's $1.4 billion worth of taxpayer dollars, by the way. Dollars that could have been spent onnutrition or real health education. $1.4 billion worth of free vitamin D supplements would have done far more to protect public health than vaccines could ever hope to accomplish.A bailout for Big PharmaWall Street hucksters have nothing on Big Pharma, the CDC and the WHO, all of which conspiredto mislead the public and generate irrational fear in order to make money selling people vaccineshots they never needed in the first place.The drug companies raked in billions of dollars in revenues while providing a product that offered absolutely no net reduction in mortality. In fact, as the long-term side effects of the vaccinesremain unknown, it could turn out that the vaccines actually result in a net increase in mortality.Meanwhile, countless people were harmed by the swine flu vaccine frenzy (it's "countless"because nobody's counting). In addition to those who were nearly paralyzed after receiving the vaccine shots, grade school staffers in Massachusetts who lined up to receive swine flu vaccineshots were instead injected with insulin. (Insulin injections can put you into a coma.)(/wp-dy...)The school sent a letter home to staffers and parents blaming the mishap on the school nurse. Butif they weren't injecting people with a useless vaccine for a non-pandemic, none of this wouldhave happened in the first place. (Editor's note: The press originally reported this story as "children" being injected with insulin, but they later changed their report to "staffers.n This paragraph has been updated to reflect that change.)Total swine flu deaths for 2009 were far lower than the number of deaths from regular seasonal flu. And yet it turns out that thousands of Americans who died from the swine flu had been previously injected with the vaccines (/027956_H...). In fact, according to calculations derived from official CDC estimates, thousands of vaccinated Americans died from swine flu anyway. The vaccines, it seems, don't really work after all. You're just as safe doing nothing.Actually, getting the vaccine may harm your health. Outspoken Dr. Wodarg even says that the full extent of the damage from the insufficiently-tested vaccines may not be known for years. "The vaccine developed by Novartis was produced in a bioreactor from cancerous cells, a technique that had never been used until now," he says.Just what we need, huh? Cancer cells being injected into the population as part of a vaccine campaign.Cancelling vaccine ordersThe Swine Flu hoax has fizzled out, and countries like Greece, France and the UK have cancelled orders for vaccines that they now realize won't be needed (/article/idUS...) (/2/hi/health/8...). But even the fizzling of this hoax doesn't mean it was a failure from the point of view of Big Pharma.The swine flu hoax was a huge success not only for drug company profits, but also for certain influential individuals including Dr Julie Gerberding, former head of the CDC who has now accepted a high-paying job as the president of Merck's global vaccine operations. (/027789_D...)One minute you're running the CDC, warning the country about a pandemic while urging everybody to get vaccinated, and the next minute you're running the for-profit vaccine division of the world's largest drug company. Amazing how that works, huh?。

T asks Ss to prepare for the next unit:1) do the pre-reading task;2) preview Text A. (2 minutes)T ext AnalysisWe all want to expand our English vocabulary. An effective and efficient way is to memorize English words and phrases through association maps. Experiments have proved that it is much easier for human beings to memorize things in meaningful groups than isolated items.Fi rst of all, we put a central idea or a key word in the middle of the map, e.g. “ship”.Then we draw a cobweb structure around “ship”. One branch may be the names of different parts of a boat, like “hold”, “cabin”, “afterdeck”, “deck”. Another branch may be the various types of people on board the ship, like “coastguardsmen”, “sailor”, “seaman”, “shipmate”. Still another branch may be verbal phrases related to a ship, like “put to sea”, “be under way”, “be at sea”.This cobweb can keep on growing. Every once in a while we redraw it, and we may find that it has grown in size, because we are better at association and our word power is stronger.Of course, there are other methods of improving vocabulary memorization. For example, when you see a new vocabular y item, you’d better read it aloud, pronounce it correctly, and spell it on a sheet of paper. By using eyes, mouth, ears, and hands together, we mobilize multiple parts of our brain, thus keeping a longer memory.。
