An Integrated English Course IVUnit 11Text 1 Mountain Lion’s Attack!Key to ExercisesText comprehension (pp. 170-171)I. Decide which of the following best states the author's purpose of writing.AII. Judge, according to the text, whether the following statements are true or false.1. T. Refer to Paragraph2.2. T. Refer to Paragraph 4.3. F. Refer to Paragraph 15. The narrator watched this happen not because he was too frightened to move but because the wild animal acted so quickly that he had no time to understand what was happening, to say nothing of preventing it.4. F. Refer to Paragraph 17. The man was angry with the mountain lion, who was endangering the life of one of the kids, not with the other counselors, though they were of little help. Actually, in the fight against the animal, he had no time to be angry with them at all.5. F. Refer to Paragraph 17. The narrator's attack caught some attention from the animal although it failed to force it to give up the boy. The man's booting and punching enraged the animal and it growled and twisted its body as a result.6. T. Refer to Paragraph 20.III. Answer the following questions.1. Because he loved the outdoors as a life ~out and he loved kids. Moreover, he did not anticipate the difficulty in the job.2. They did not take his words seriously because they didn't think they would really run across a mountain lion and doubted whether the strategy introduced by the narrator would really work if they did run across one.3. It was a repeated voice from inside that made him take over the rear in the midway up the mountain.4. In the rear the narrator found that some kids were uninterested and slow in climbing up, so he bucked them up by telling them there were better things ahead.5. No, he didn't. Refer to Paragraph 17. The sentence "Fear for the boy wiped out my own terror and I found myself charging at the animal" tells us that he feared for the safety of the little boy and immediately took measures to fight the animal.6. When the lion backed about 8 feet and crouched for an attack, the scout did not step back and run away; instead he plucked up his courage and charged at it. This action drove the lion away. IV. Explain in your own words the following sentences taken from the text.1. As a life scout I had earned most credits for becoming an eagle scout.2. I dismissed the thought.3 .... the trees looking threatening on both sides of us.4. The kids screamed all of a sudden ...Structural analysis of the text (p171)The text can be divided into the following three parts:Part I: Paragraph 1; Part Il: Paragraphs 2-20; and Part m: Paragraph 21.The topical sentences are:Part I: It was my idea of the perfect summer job: working as a camp counselor in the Rocky Mountains.Part II: I realized working with the kids could also be a real pain.Part III: It means being prepared to really listen when somebody's giving me divine directions.Rhetorical features of the text (p172)To describe what he did in his attempt to fight the mountain lion, the author of the text uses two kinds of verbs, i.e. verbs expressing verbal actions and those indicating material actions.For the first kind, we can find: screaming(Paragraph 16); yelling at the top of my lungs (Paragraph 17); roared, yelling (Paragraph 18). And for the second kind, we can find: spun around to the others (Paragraph 16); ran towards the lion, charging at the animal, kicking its muscular side as hard as I could, kicked again and again, even punched it with all my might (Paragraph 17); and slammed my foot into the cougar's whiskered face, pulled back to boot it again, charged at it (Paragraph 18). The use of these verbs shows effectively that the author did everything he could in his fight against the fierce animal and his attempt to protect the child.Vocabulary exercises (pp172-173)I.

大学英语专业综合教程第三册Unit11课文及单词

1. If your friend is in a new dress or buys a new mobile phone which you dislike intensely, and asks for your opinion about it, what will you say? Why do you think people lie?2. If somebody lies to you for your own good, how would you feel?At the University of Virginia in Charlottesville, psychology professor Bella DePaulo got 77 students and 70 townspeople to volunteer for an unusual project. All kept diaries for a week, recording the numbers and details of the lies they told.One student and six Charlottesville residents professed to have told no falsehoods. The other 140 participants told 1535.The lies were most often not what most of us would call earth-shattering. Someone would pretend to be more positive or supportive of a spouse or friend than he or she really was, or feign agreement with a relative's opinion. According to DePaulo, women in their interactions with other women lied mostly to spare the other's feelings. Men lied to other men generally for self-promoting reasons.Most strikingly, these tellers-of-a-thousand-lies reported that their deceptions caused them "little preoccupation or regret." Might that, too, be a lie? Perhaps. But there is evidence that this attitude towards casual use of prevarication is common.For example, 20,000 middle-and high-schoolers were surveyed by the Josephson Institute of Ethics — anonprofit organization in Marina del Rey, California, devoted to character education. Ninety-two per cent of the teenagers admitted having lied to their parents in the previous year, and 73 per cent characterized themselves as "serial liars," meaning they told lies weekly. Despite these admissions, 91 per cent of all respondents said they were "satisfied with my own ethics and character."Think how often we hear the expressions "I'll call you" or "The check is in the mail" or "I'm sorry, but he stepped out." And then there are professions —lawyers, pundits, public relations consultants —whose members seem to specialize in shaping or spinning the truth to suit clients' needs.Little white lies have become ubiquitous, and the reasons we give each other for telling fibs are familiar. Consider, for example, a corporate executive whom I'll call Tom. He goes with his wife and son to his mother-in-law's home for a holiday dinner every year. Tom dislikes her "special" pumpkin pie intensely. Invariably he tells her how wonderful it is, to avoid hurting her feelings."What's wrong with that?" Tom asked Michael Josephson, president of the Josephson Institute. It's a question we might all ask.Josephson replied by asking Tom to consider the lie from his mother-in-law's point of view. Suppose that one day Tom's child blurts out the truth, and she discovers the deceit. Will she tell her son-in-law, "Thank you for caring so much"? Or is she more likelyto feel hurt and say, "How could you have misled me all these years? And what else have you lied to me about?"And what might Tom's mother-in-law now suspect about her own daughter? And will Tom's boy lie to his parents and yet be satisfied with his own character?How often do we compliment people on how well they look, or express our appreciation for gifts, when we don't really mean it? Surely, these "nice lies" are harmless and well-intended, a necessary social lubricant. But, like Tom, we should remember the words of English novelist Sir Walter Scott, who wrote, "What a tangled web we weave, when first we practice to deceive."Even seemingly harmless falsehoods can have unforeseen consequences. Philosopher Sissela Bok warns us that they can put us on a slippery slope. "After the first lies, others can come more easily," she wrote in her book Lying: Moral Choice in Public and Private Life. "Psychological barriers wear down; the ability to make more distinctions can coarsen; the liar's perception of his chances of being caught may warp."Take the pumpkin-pie lies. In the first place, it wasn't just that he wanted his mother-in-law to feel good. Whether he realized it or not, he really wanted her to think highly of him. And after the initial deceit he needed to tell more lies to cover up the first one.Who believes it anymore when they're told that the person they want to reach by phone is "in a meeting"? By itself, that kind of lie is of no great consequence.Still, the endless proliferation of these little prevarications does matter.Once they've become common enough, even the small untruths that are not meant to hurt encourage a certain cynicism and loss of trust. "When [trust] is damaged," warns Bok, "the community as a whole suffers; and when it is destroyed, societies falter and collapse."Are all white lies to be avoided at all costs? Not necessarily. The most understandable and forgivable lies are an exchange of what ethicists refer to as the principle of trust for the principle of caring, "like telling children about the tooth fairy, or deceiving someone to set them up for a surprise party," Josephson says. "Still, we must ask ourselves if we are willing to give our friends and associates the authority to lie to us whenever they think it is for our own good."Josephson suggests a simple test. If someone you lie to finds out the truth, will he thank you for caring? Or will he feel his long-term trust in you has been undermined?And if you're not sure, Mark Twain has given us a good rule of thumb. "When in doubt, tell the truth. It will confound your enemies and astound your friends."New words:volunteerv. to give or offer (one's help, a suggestion, etc.) willingly or without being paidprofessv. to make a claimfeignv. to pretend to have or bepreoccupationn. the state of constantly thinking or worrying about somethingprevaricationn. the state of avoiding giving a direct answer or making a firm decisionseriala. of, in or forming a number of things, events, etc. of a similar kind, especially placed or occurring one after anotherethicsn. moral correctness; moral principlespunditn. a person who is an authority on a particular subject; an expertconsultantn. a person who gives specialist professional advice to othersfibn. a small unimportant liedeceitn. dishonest act or statementlubricantn. a substance such as oil which cause a machine to operate more easilytanglev. to make or become a mass of disordered and twisted threadswear downto reduce or become weaker until uselessperceptionn. the ability to see, hear and understand; the quality of understandingwarpv. to (cause to) turn or twist out of shapeproliferationn. a rapid increase in the amount or number of somethingcynicismn. the belief that people always act selfishlyfalterv. to lose power or strength in an uneven way, thus no longer making much progressassociaten. a person who is connected to another person as a businesspartner, colleague, or companionunderminev. to gradually make somebody or something less strong or effectiveconfoundv. to confuse and greatly surprise people, causing them to be unable to explain or deal with a situationastoundv. to make somebody very surprised or shocked, especially with (news of) something completely unexpected。

So far so good , I mean.B: You’ve been in China for two months. How do you like your CFL programme in the Chinese Department?A: My interest in Chinese grows with each passing day. But then so does my difficulty in learning Chinese. It’s such a difficult language! It’s so different from European languages, such as English and French.B: As a learner of English as a foreign language, I’m going through a similar ordeal. I have difficulty with spelling, pronunciation and, believe it or not, with numbers and figures.A: But you speak English so much better than I do Chinese. I wish I were able to talk to native speakers in Chinese the way you are talking to me.B: You will.

In many ways it is simpler than most European languages. No verb agreement, no irregular verbs and nouns, very few and simple tense markers, to name just a few.B: Those are exactly the causes of some of the major problems I have with my English learning.A: But the Chinese writing system is altogether new to me. Instead of neat rows of 26 simple alphabetic letters, there are tens of thousands of unique characters formed with a varied number of strokes . Many of these characters seem complex. Although the calligraphy of Chinese characters is artistically beautiful, I won’t be able to appreciate it until I can recognize and write at least 8, 888 Chinese characters. I’m just kidding.B: How does Chinese sound to you?A: I find putonghua rather melodious, a little like singing.B: Do you have any difficulty distinguishing the four tones?A: Yes, I do. The tonal system of Chinese really bothers me. It’s a major source of difficulty with my comprehension and pronunciation. It’s so upsetting that most of the time I don’t understand what I hear and am not understood by others.B: I suggest you take advantage of living in China and go to lectures, movies, and plays “8,888 times,”and dip yourself in the language environment as much as possible. Before I forget, I have two tickets for a newly-released feature film. Would you like to go with me and improve your listening for the tones?A: Certainly! Thank you so much.B: My pleasure.LISTENING IN & SPEAKING OUTAmerican EducationEducation is an enormous and expensive part of American life. Its size is matched by its variety.Differences in American schools compared with those found in the majority of other countries lie in the fact that education here has long been intended for everyone —not just for a privileged elite. Schools are expected to meet the needs of every child, regardless of ability, and also the needs of society itself. This means that public schools offer more than academic subjects. It surprises many people when they come here to find high schools offering such courses as typing, sewing, radio repair, computer programming, or driver training, along with traditional academic subjects such as mathematics, history, and languages. Students choose their curricula depending on their interests, future goals, and level of ability. The underlying goal of American education is to develop every child to the utmost of his or her own possibilities, and to give each one a sense of civic and community consciousness.The new universities greatly expanded in size and course offerings, breaking completely out of the old, constricted curriculum of mathematics, classics, rhetoric, and music. The president of Harvard pioneered the elective system, by which students were able to choose their own course of study. The notion of major fields of study emerged. The new goal was to make the university relevant to the real pursuits of the world.The approach to teaching may seem unfamiliar to many, not only because it is informal, but also because there is not much emphasis on learning facts. Instead, Americans try to teach their children to think for themselves and to develop their own intellectual and creative abilities.Students spend much time learning how to use resource materials, libraries, statistics and computers. Americans believe that if children are taught to reason well and to research well, theywill be able to find whatever facts they need throughout the rest of their lives. Knowing how to solve problems is considered more important than the accumulation of facts.This is America’s answer to the searching question that thoughtful parents all over the world are asking themselves in this fast-moving time: “How can one prepare today’s child for a tomorrow that one can neither predict nor understand?”READING IGirls and Boys Come Out to PlayThe football sailed over the fence at least half a dozen times every lunch hour, not due to any lack of skill: a “lost”ball provided a passport into the girls’school next door. Games of tennis, tag, handball and football were all crammed into the corner of the schoolyard beside our own Maginot line.On the other side, girls sunbathed and were regularly told to pull their socks up and not hitch up their skirts. “This is not Brighton beach, you know.”Apart from the daily mêlée in the bus queue, this was our only contact with the opposite sex at school.The excuses grew more sophisticated. Divinity club, drama, mixed hockey matches for charity and other worthy causes were all surprisingly well supported. Even so, we all resented this unnatural division.If school was preparing us for life, why was it so unlike the real world? It is ironic that I now find myself defending single sex education and that I now believe that its very artificiality is its main strength.Ideally, education should provide everyone with the opportunity to develop their talents to the full.But in reality this is more difficult than it seems. Boys are often more pushy than girls and demand more than their fair share of the teacher’s attention. If this is not forthcoming, they are likely to be disruptive.To keep the peace, teachers, often unintentionally, devote more of their time to the boys.The result is that in a mixed class girls can expect no more than a third of the teacher’s time. This becomes a habit and boys get used to being assertive and in control while girls learn to give way and to play a subordinate role. Having to contend with the complications of adolescence at the same time exacerbatesthe problem. Surely this is not a desirable preparation for life.If girls and boys are kept separate, domination by one sex is not possible. In my experience, stronger boys often pushed out the weaker, dismissing them as “cissies”. Perhaps we needed todominate someone and these were our substitute girls. But at least we didn’t get used to “shouting down”the girls or assuming that they would always give way.In a girls’school, pupils get the full attention of the teacher. They are free to develop the selfassurance which later on may help them to resist discrimination. Because they are used to having influence in the classroom, they expect to have influence in the world. If reality turns out differently, then at least they can tackle it without being hampered by the difficulties of adolescence as well.At school I always favoured the arts more than the sciences and happily progressed to specialization in English. Would I have done so in a mixed school? Perhaps not. The fact is that in coeducational schools, girls dominate the arts while boys dominate the sciences. This is because in the early teenage years girls excel in language-based subjects and, rather than be beaten, boys concentrate on the sciences. Single sex schools are free from such stereotyping.I don’t think that girls and boys should be separated because they distract one another. I can’t believe that flirtation or boyish bravado poses a serious threat to classroom order. There are stronger social and educational reasons than that. Perhaps a good compromise would be to have mixed schools but to teach boys and girls separately for at least part of the time. This at least would get rid of the Maginot lines that are as much a part of my school memories as semolina and chalk dust.READING IIStudents Who Push BurgersA college freshman squirms anxiously on a chair in my office, his eyes avoiding mine, those of his English professor, as he explains that he hasn’t finished his paper, which was due two days ago. “I just haven’t had the time,”he said.“Are you carrying a heavy course load?”“Fifteen hours,”he says — a normal load.“Are you working a lot?”“No, sir, not much. About 30 hours a week.”“That’s a lot. Do you have to work that much?”“Yeah, I have to pay for my car.”“Do you really need a car?”“Yeah, I need it to get to work.”This student isn’t unusual.Indeed, he probably typifies today’s college and high school students. Yet in all the lengthy analyses of what’s wrong with American education, I have not heard employment by students being blamed.But such employment is a major cause of educational decline. To argue my case, I will rely on memories of my own high school days and contrast them with what I see today. Though I do have some statistical evidence, my argument depends on what anyone over 40 can test through memory and direct observation.When I was in high school in the 1950s, students seldom held jobs. Some of us baby-sat, shoveled snow, mowed lawns, and delivered papers, and some of us got jobs in department stores around Christmas. But most of us had no regular source of income other than the generosity of our parents.The only kids who worked regularly were poor. They worked to help their families. If I remember correctly, only about five people in my class of 170 held jobs. That was in a workingclass town in New England. As for the rest of us, our parents believed that going to school and helping around the house were our work.In contrast, in 1986 my daughter was one of the few students among juniors and seniors who didn’t work. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, more than 40 percent of high school students were working in 1980, but sociologists Ellen Greenberger and Laurence Steinberg in “When Teenagers Work”came up with estimates of more than 70 percent working in 1986, though I suspect that the figure may be even higher now.My daughter, however, did not work; her parents wouldn’t let her. Interestingly, some of the students in her class implied that she had an unfair advantage over them in the classroom. They were probably right, for while she was home studying they were pushing burgers, waiting on tables, or selling dresses 20 hours a week. Working students have little time for homework.I attended a public high school, while she attended a Roman Catholic preparatory school whose students were mainly middle class. By the standards of my day, her classmates did not “have to”work. Yet many of them were working 20 to 30 hours a week. Why?They worked so that they could spend $60 to $100 a week on designer jeans, rock concerts, stereo and video systems, and, of course, cars. They were living lives of luxury, buying items on which their parents refused to throw hard-earned money away. Though the parent would not buy such tripe for their kids, the parents somehow convinced themselves that the kids were learning the value of money. Yet, according to Ms. Greenberger and Mr. Steinberg, only about a quarter of those students saved money for college or other long-term goals.How students spend their money is their business, not mine. But as a teacher, I have witnessed the effects of employment. I know that students who work all evening aren’t ready for studying when they get home from work. Moreover, because they work so hard and have ready cash, they feel that they deserve to have fun —instead of spending all their free time studying.Thus, by the time they get to college, most students look upon studies as a spare-time activity.A survey at Pennsylvania State University showed that most freshmen believed they could maintain aB average by studying about 20 hours a week. (I can remember when college guidebooks advised two to three hours of studying for every hour in class —30 to 45 hours a week.) Clearly individual students will pay the price for lack of adequate time studying, but the problem goes beyond the individual. It extends to schools and colleges that are finding it difficult to demand quantity or quality of work from students.Perhaps the reason American education has declined so markedly is because America has raised a generation of part-time students. And perhaps our economy will continue to decline as fulltime students from Japan and Europe continue to outperform our part-time students.。

Then he moves on to give advice on the right approach to the matter: forgiving the person and healing our wound.After offering some suggestions about how to achieve forgiveness, the author presents the opposite view—“ forgivenessis a sign of weakness ”(Paragraph 19), which prepares the ground for his counter-argument in the subsequent paragraphs. The author winds up the essay with his conviction that forgiveness is a godlike act of creation.Section Four Consolidation ActivitiesVocabularyI.1. face up to: confront bravely2. let go of: stop holding something 放开，松手3. be let off the hook: be allowed to get away without being punished 摆脱困境，逃避惩罚4. eye for an eye: every injury should be paid back; retaliation 以眼还眼，以牙还牙5. vicious circle: a situation in which the effect of one problem creates another, and causes the first problem to return 恶性循环II.1. guidelines;2. promoted;3. reconciled;4. vicious circle;5. worth;6. keep;7. compelled;8. forge.III.

Unit 11 On Becoming a Better StudentKey to the ExercisesText comprehensionI. Decide which of the following best states the purpose of the essay.A(The author lists the qualities of a good learner so as to give students some guidelines on how to "become a better student" instead of merely describing the qualities of a good learner. )II. Judge, according to the text, whether the following statements are true or false.1. F (Refer to Paragraph2. All the words and theories and techniques are of no use to students who yet have to open themselves with receptivity and to take it upon themselves to practice.)2. F (Refer to Paragraph 4. Discovery is, according to Albert Szent-Gyorgyi, "looking at the same thing as everyone else but thinking something different," i.e., arriving at new understandings of things everyone sees.)3. T (Refer to Paragraph 6. According to the author, most education discourages people from venturing far enough to take risks to make mistakes.)4. F (Refer to Paragraph 7. Successful students do not expect to be spoon-fed, but take their own initiative.)5. T (Refer to Paragraph 9. One should maintain his enthusiasm and learn not to push himself too hard in his pursuit of knowledge. Because patience is essential for success; besides, we need to develop other sides of our lives as well. As F. M. Alexander said, "Give up trying too hard, but never give up.")III. Answer the following questions.1. Refer to Paragraphs 2 and 3. According to the author, the genuine learning process rests with the students' own investigation, which is the best thing a teacher can guide his students to. She believes that learning is not so much the acquisition of information as it is an investigation.2. Refer to Paragraph 5. Yes. According to the author, there is no shortcut in learning; persistence and discipline are required for a student to reach the very end and savor the full flavor of hard-won success.3. Refer to Paragraph 6. It is a problem with the current educational approach that students are discouraged from venturing far enough to take risks to make mistakes. However, if people try different approaches and do things that have no precedence, they will surely make mistakes which, as the author argues, are the stepping stone of creative people.4. It means one has to drop his prior knowledge so as to absorb new knowledge. If he refuses to do so, the old knowledge may hinder the assimilation of new knowledge. It also implies that one should learn to appreciate constructive criticism, for if he constantly fails to take criticism, he can never know where his weakness lies and grow out of it.5. "Listen with your whole body" is to get yourself fully activated both cognitively and physically. That is to say, you have to be extremely attentive to what the teacher says instead of letting your mind wander and keeping your body inert.IV. Explain in your own words the following sentences.1. When they start school, children are curious and ready to try every means to explore the unknown. However, they end up losing the pioneering spirit after years of formal education.2. "Advanced" learners are likely to make some mistakes. For example, they may become excessivelysatisfied with their progress or, on the contrary, put too much pressure on themselves to score further achievements.Structural analysis of the textThe first two paragraphs are the introductory part, in which the writer attempts to explain what teaching and learning is meant to be. In the second part, Paragraphs 3 ?9, she discusses the various factors that make a good student. In the third part, she gives advice to the aspiring student.The special devices the author uses to highlight her major points are some typographic devices -- the key words in bold to represent the most important qualities of a good student in the second part and the solid dark dot that introduces each of the nine tips in the third part.Rhetorical features of the textHere is an example: "We may even have expectations that they be endless repositories of skill and knowledge (Paragraph 1). The underlined part of the quoted sentence is an instance of the use of metaphorical language, an attempt to put across the idea that they have so much skill and knowledge that we can perpetually learn from them.The author has cited four people in the text: Nobel Prize-winning physician Albert Szent-Gyorgyi (Paragraph 4); educator Neil Postman (Paragraph 6); Jim Spira, director of the Institute for Education Therapy in Berkeley, California (Paragraph 8); and F. M. Alexander of the Alexander technique (Paragraph 9). Citing the rightly chosen people certainly strengthens the writer's argument.Vocabulary exercisesI.
