The following hints mightserve 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 hearhis 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, droppedit in his dirty plate and walked away quickly in silence.“No good deed is too small.” M aybe 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 wewant 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.。

新世纪大学英语综合教程2课文翻译及课后答案完整版

新世纪大学英语综合教程2课文翻译及课后答案完整版新世纪大学英语综合教程2Unit 1 Living in HarmonyText A “我原谅你”1并非只有婚姻关系才需要宽恕。

我们与子女、朋友、同事、邻居，甚至陌生人相处时同样需要宽恕。

事实上，没有宽恕的氧气。

任何人际关系都无从维系。

宽恕并不是脾气好的人们才拥有的特质，它是所有关系的必要条件，也是自己身心健康不可缺少的。

、2有些人可能认为自己受伤太深、次数太多，无法宽恕、可耐人寻味的是，恰恰是被伤得最深的人，才真正需要宽恕别人。

原因很简单：仇恨就像癌症。

会毁掉宿主。

如果不尽快铲除。

它就会生根发芽，是那些执意仇恨无法释怀的人受伤甚至死亡。

3因为事实是。

除非我们能宽恕他人，否则就永远无法恢复。

伤口会继续溃烂，永不愈合。

中国有句古谚，“复仇者必自绝”4对有些人来说。

宽恕他人似乎是不可能的，因为他们根本不知从何做起，首先你要接受一个非常重要的事实：宽恕他人并不是件容易的事。

事实上，对于我们大多数人来说。

这也许是最难做到的。

5被伤害的是我们，却还要宽恕他人，这似乎毫无公平可言。

然而这正是宽恕的关键所在。

6“宽恕并忘记”，这句俗话谁都会脱口而出，但实际上既简单又肤浅。

一则这是绝对不可能的，二则它完全偏离了宽恕的真正含义。

生活中最需要宽恕的事正是那些无法忘记的事。

我们不应把这些事掩饰起来，而需记住它们，并有意不因此对做过这些事的人怀有成见，然后继续生活。

7这就是为什么有的时候会感到：宽恕别人，一开始会相对容易些，难的是每次你看到那个人，与他谈话，甚至只是想起他之后如何控制自己的感情。

真正的宽恕不是一劳永逸之举，而是持久的情感面对。

8等待越久，宽恕就越难。

实际上，时间不会愈合伤口，只会让愤懑和仇恨更长时间地吞噬你的内心。

如果要等待“适当的时候”，你也许永远都找不到机会。

9开始运用宽恕的艺术之前，你先要问自己这样一个问题：我们中有多少人在特定的场合下是完全无辜的呢？10几年前，我和妻子买了一件便宜家具。

新世纪大学英语(第二版)综合课程2unit1课文翻译和课后答案

陌生人的善意迈克·麦金太尔一年夏天，我从家乡加利福尼亚州的塔霍城开车前往新奥尔良。

在沙漠深处，我碰到一个年轻人站在路旁。

他一只手打出拇指向外的手势，另一只手里拿着一个汽油罐。

我直接从他身边开过去了。

别人会停下来的，我想。

再说，那汽油罐只是个让车停下、好抢劫司机的幌子而已。

在这个国家，曾有那么一段时间，你要是对需要帮助的人置之不理，大家会认为你是混蛋，而如今你要是帮了你就是笨蛋。

到处潜伏着犯罪团伙、吸毒上瘾者、杀人犯、强奸犯、盗窃犯还有劫车犯，为什么要冒险呢“我不想卷进去”已经成为全国性的信条。

2 开过了几个州以后，我还在想着那个想搭便车的人。

把他一个人留在沙漠中倒并没有让我有多么不安。

让我不安的是，我多么轻易地就做出了这个决定。

我甚至根本没把脚从油门上抬起来。

我很想知道，现在还有人会停车吗3 我想到我此行的目的地——新奥尔良。

那里是田纳西·威廉姆斯的剧作《欲望号街车》的背景地。

我回想起布兰奇·杜波依斯的名句：“我总是依赖陌生人的善意。

”4 陌生人的善意。

听起来好怪。

如今这年头还有谁能指望陌生人的善意吗5 要验证这一点，一个办法是一个人从东海岸旅行到西海岸，不带一分钱，完全依靠美国同胞的善意。

他会发现一个什么样的美国谁会给他饭吃、让他歇脚、捎他一程呢6 这个念头激起了我的好奇心。

但谁会这么不切实际、愿意去尝试这样一次旅行呢好吧，我想，那不如我来试试7 满37岁那个星期，我意识到我这辈子还从没冒过什么险呢。

所以我决定来个观念的跨越，美洲大陆那么宽——从太平洋去大西洋，不带一分钱。

要是有人给我钱，我会拒绝。

我只接受搭顺风车、提供食物和让我歇脚的帮助。

这将是穿越这片金钱至上的土地上一次无钱的旅行。

我的最终目的地是北卡罗来纳州的“恐惧角”（即开普菲尔），它象征着我沿途必须克服的所有恐惧。

8 1994年9月6日，我早早起床，背起一个50磅重的包，朝金门桥走去。

我从背包里拿出一个牌子，向过路的车辆展示我的目的地：“美利坚”。

新世纪大学英语综合课程2(第二版)Unit1-Unit8ListenandRespond听力原文

Unit 1 Living in Harmony[00:04.00]Listen and Respond[00:06.78]Smile[00:10.76]I am a mother of three and have recently completed my college degree.[00:16.57]The last project the professor assigned us to do was called “Smile.”[00:22.95]The class was asked to go out and smile at three people and then write down their reaction.[00:30.42]I am a very friendly person and always smile at everyone I meet and say “hello.”[00:36.54]So I thought that it would be a piece of cake for me. [00:41.52]Soon after we were assigned the project, my husband,[00:45.47]the youngest son and I went out to the local McDonalds on a cold March morning.[00:51.63]Just when we were standing in line, waiting to be served, [00:55.66]I smelled a horrible “dirty body” smell, and there standing behind me were two poor homeless men.[01:03.96]As I looked down at the shorter gentleman close to me, he was smiling.[01:09.48]His beautiful sky blue eyes were searching for acceptance. [01:14.19]He said, “Good day” as he counted the few coins he had. [01:19.73]The second man was mentally retarded.[01:23.65]The young lady at the counter asked the shorter man what they wanted.[01:28.38]He said, “Just coffee for the two of us.”[01:32.48]Obviously, it was all they could afford.[01:35.94]To sit in the restaurant and warm up, they had to buy something — they just wanted to be warm.[01:44.01]Then I was suddenly filled with sympathy.[01:47.18]All eyes in the restaurant were set on me, judging my every action.[01:52.74]I smiled and asked the young lady behind the counter to [01:56.79]give me two more breakfast meals on a separate tray.[02:00.93]I then walked to the table where the two men were sitting. [02:05.09]I put the tray on the table and laid my hand on the blue-eyed gentleman’s cold hand.[02:12.07]He looked up at me and said, “Thank you.”[02:15.98]I leaned over and said, “Just help yourselves.”[02:20.22]I started to cry when I walked away to join my husband and son. [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.。

新世纪大学英语综合教程2作文答案作文答案Unit 1 p27 1) In my middle school years, I had a best friend. We talked about everything. And we loved singing songs together. Once, however, there was a bitter quarrel between us and we stopped talking to each other. It was obvious that both of us wanted to keep the friendship, but neither had the courage to break the ice. It went on like this for months. Then one day we were asked to write about friendship. I wrote in my composition what friendship meant to me and the misunderstanding that had separated us. It was given the top mark, and I was asked to read it in class. When I ended my my presentation presentation presentation with with with the the the words words words from from from our our our favourite favourite favourite song, song, song, my my my friend friend friend was was was singing singing singing along. along. along.

To break down the walls between people is easy; all it takes is a littl forgiveness! (150 words) 2) We are living in a world of distrust. We live behind cold security bars; we do not talk to strangers, let alone go ou of our way to help them; we live in fear of fake products. In short, fear and feelings of insecurity fill the environmen we live in. All this greatly harms our society. Growing up in such an environment, we tend to feel isolated and care about about ourselves ourselves ourselves only. only. only.

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.

Growing up in such environments, they tend to take for for granted granted granted what what what they they they have. have. have. Some Some Some even even even develop develop develop bad bad bad habits habits habits and and and character character character flaws flaws flaws such such such as as as self-will, self-will, self-will, lack lack lack of of responsibility and selfishness. In my opinion, taking a listless attitude toward life is extremely harmful to them. With such a negative attitude, they fail to appreciate the advantages they enjoy. They waste away their precious time, seeking pleasure in running after pop stars or indulging in computer games. In the end, they may have to leave college without having acquired any useful skills or knowledge. Sometimes I think it is good for us to think more of the young people who are still struggling for their lives and education. Such an attitude would certainly impel us to cherish more our college life. And life would be more meaningful if we treat it with a gentleness, a vigor and keenness of appreciation. (155 words) 2) Being admitted to college was an important turning point in my life. I would never have been able to make it without the help and support of my parents, teachers and classmates. Throughout the time I was preparing for the entrance examination my parents were always there to back me up. They allowed me to make my own decisions about which major I wanted to pursue. What’s more, they had full confi dence in me. I was lucky enough to have had fine teachers and kind classmates. My teachers were patient and competent to explain the problems I did not understand; my classmates helped me and encouraged me all the time. We shared our hopes and anxieties together. That was a memorable time in my life! I didn’t achieve everything alone. I owe a lot to those who have helped me to get where I am. （147 words ）Unit 3 p94 1) Li Hui, my friend in high school, was born into a worker's family. She began to dream of becoming a cartoon artist from her childhood. To her disappointment, her parents strongly opposed her career choice, because the cost of her education would be too high for the poor family, and they were worried about the job opportunities for a cartoon artist. However, Li Hui would not change her mind. She worked hard to perfect her skills and searched persistently for ways to realise her dream. Just before she finished high school, the chance came: a famous art school was holding a cartoon drawing competition. The first three winners would be given a scholarship to study cartoon drawing at the school. Li Hui told herself not to let the chance slip through her fingers. She readily participated and won the second place. She is now studying there and I feel certain that her dream will come true.

I've just read an article about how pessimistic and optimistic thoughts can affect our behaviour and I'm now sending you a copy, hoping that it will help you step out of the shadows.• Naturally, failing the college entrance examination can be very depressing, yet if you continue to dwell on the past, you will never be able to pick yourself up and focus on what more more important important important for for for now now now and and and the the the future. future. future.

The human mind is powerful; thoughts of optimism and pessimism can be a self-fulfilling prophecy. Though it mightseem impossible to some, positive thinking and success actually have a cause-and-result relationship. The reason is that a person with positive thinking will always broadcast goodwill and confidence and that kind of radiating attitude will take a hold on everybody. Gradually, people’s attitude will will shift shift shift towards towards towards more trust and respect. This not only opens up more opportunities for the individual, but it more trust and respect.

Over time circumstances will change accordingly. （169 words ）Test1 p128 My View on Opportunity Different people have different views on opportunity. Some hold that there are not enough opportunities because there are far too many people. Yet others believe that there are opportunities everywhere. They say that opportunity favors the prepared mind. I agree with the latter. It is true that there is really intense competition for limited opportunities, but one can always create opportunities.

However, history has proven over and over again that the morally defective cannot be truly successful, even if they at times enjoy some temporary glory. A typical example is found in the story of four brilliant Cambridge students.

This This This is is is clearly clearly clearly reflected reflected reflected in in in our our reaction to advertisements. Instead of seeing advertisements as a source of reliable information, we tend to doubt the truth they claim and always assume that the producers are trying to trick customers into buying their products. One of the most serious consequences of such absence of mutual trust is the constant doubt and anxiety within our own minds. If we see everyone else as a potential enemy, we can no longer make new friends; if we regard all information passed on to us as lies, how can we make use of such sources effectively? Mutual trust is the glue that holds human society together. As students, we should try to foster mutual trust and help build up a moral society by our own deeds. If we are honest to others and foster mutual trust, we shall soon see the difference. (158 words) Unit6 p209 1) A Creative Person My physics professor is a very creative person.

(166 words)Test2 p272 In our society there are some people who employ dishonest means to get what they want. To make more profits, some businessmen sell fake products. To get better scores, some students cheat in exams. But dishonesty does not pay in the long run. Those who sell fake products end up losing customers. Students who practice cheating in exams are cheating themselves. By contrast, honest people gain a clear conscience and also win the trust and respect of others. Besides, it is easier for a person with a good record to get a better job. After all, who would want a dishonest employee? B sticking to the principle of honesty, we can help make the world a better place to live in. Honesty is the best policy and it really pays to be honest. (135 words) 。

《大学英语》复习资料Unit1ClozeHuman relationships would become difficult without forgiveness.It’s a necessity for building harmonious relationships and achieving our own well-being.Very often we may think that we’ve been hurt too deeply to forgive.But ironically,It’s those of us who’ve been most hurt that really need to forgive.For the truth is that unless we can forgive,we can never recover.For some people forgiveness seems impossible because they have no idea how to go about it.The first and most important thing you need to remember is that the act of forgiveness is not going to be easy.In fact,it will probably be the hardest thing most of us ever have to do.It seems totally unfair that we should have to forgive when we’re the ones who have been hurt.And that’s the central and most important part of forgiveness.That’s why,sometimes,the initial act of forgiveness may seem relatively easy,but dealing with the emotions can be harder.True forgiveness is not a one-off act,it’s a constant emotional confrontation.So if you think you’re right and can’t find it in yourself to forgive,ask yourself this question:would you rather be right or happy.Translation1.在生活中，我们最愚蠢的行为就是太执着于自己的东西，不愿意放弃。
