My first job was shining shoes for customers when I was six years old. My duties increased as I grew older. By age ten I was clearing tables and washing plates. My father made it clear that I had to meet certain standards. I had to be on time, hard-working and polite to the customers. I was never paid for any work I did. One day I made the mistake of telling Dad I thought he should give me ten pounds a week. He said, "OK, then how about you paying me for the three meals a day when you eat here and for the times you bring your friends here for free drinks?" He figured I owed him about 40 pounds a week. This taught me quite a lot.Unit 2Part BText 1Exercise 1: 1. b 2. a 3. d 4. cExercise 2:1984 / son / medical school / tuition / afford it / realize / newspaper ads / extra business / advertisement / succeeded / agent / changed / phone call / put aside / doing / immediately / familiar / father-in-law's / visited / his father-in-law alive / coincidence.

TPART DUnexplained ParallelsOne of the best-known collections of parallels is between the careers of Abraham Lincoln and John F. Kennedy. Both were shot on a Friday, in the presence of their wives; both were succeeded by a Southerner named Johnson; both their killers were themselves killed before they could be brought to justice. Lincoln had a secretary called Kennedy; Kennedy a secretary called Lincoln. Lincoln was killed in the Ford Theater; Kennedy met his death while riding in a Lincoln convertible made by the Ford Motor Company -- and so on.Similar coincidences often occur between twins. A news story from Finland reported of two 70-year-old twin brothers dying two hours apart in separate accidents, with both being hit by trucks while crossing the same road on bicycles. According to the police, the second victim could not have known about his brother's death, as officers had only managed to identify the first victim minutes before the second accident.Connections are also found between identical twins who have been separated at birth. Dorothy Lowe and Bridget Harrison were separated in 1945, and did not meet until 1979, when they were flown over from Britain for an investigation by a psychologist at the University of Minnesota. (8处答案为met,34)They found that when they met they were both wearing seven rings on their hands, two bracelets on one wrist, a watch and a bracelet on the other. They married on the same day, had worn identical wedding dresses and carried the same flowers. Dorothy had named her son Richard Andrew and her daughter Catherine Louise; Bridget had named her son Andrew Richard and her daughter Karen Louise.(10处答案similar自己看下这个不一定, children) In fact, she had wanted to call her Catherine. Both had a cat called Tiger. They also had a string of similar mannerisms when they were nervous.How can we explain the above similarities?Unit 3Part BText 1Exercise 1: 1. b 2. c 3.aExercise 2:1. Because she wanted to understand each other's expectations so that potentialproblems could be avoided and they could live happily together.2. Cleaning up. Everything must be cleaned up and put away before going to bed.3. Sleeping. Time for bed: 11pm; time to get up: 6:30am except on weekends. Text 2Exercise 1: 1. F 2.F 3.T 4.TExercise 2:1. One rule says that if they get lost for more than five minutes when they are driving, they must stop and ask for directions.2. Once Tom and Linda got lost when they were driving to a friend's wedding.3. Linda wanted to stop at a gas station to ask the way, but Tom thought he could figure it out.4. As a result, they were late for the wedding because they went in the wrong direction for forty miles.Part C1. ...not so special/not extremes2. a. ...get angry quickly b. ...change themselves...PART D原文Husbands and Wives Don't See Things AlikeLet's face it -- husbands and wives just don't see things alike. Take TV remote controls, for example. I'm a channel-grazer. When I watch the news, I flip back and forth through four different networks."It drives me crazy when you do that," my wife complains. I don't understand why she has no interest in other channels. After all, she is a woman who wants to know everything going on in the neighborhood and among all the relatives. Just one button away might be an interesting program on How to Lose Fifty Pounds by Eating Chocolate Sundaes or How to Understand Weird Husbands. But, no, she won't change channels, not even if she dislikes the program she's watching."This talk show host makes me so angry!" she cried one evening."Then why don't you change the channel?" I asked."Because I can't stand people who are always changing channels."Differences. No right or wrong, just differences."The first law of civilization," said an old philosopher, "is to let people be different."I don't need to convert my wife to my ways, and she doesn't try to make me be like her. We simply take turns monitoring the remote control.1. The major difference between the speaker and his wife is their TV viewing habits.2. According to the speaker, he is more interested in talk shows while his wife is more interested in news programs.3. The wife seems to be more weird than the husband is.4. The speaker and his wife usually take turns working the remote control when they watch television.5. It can be inferred that women are generally more tolerant than men of their spouse's differences.6. The speaker and his wife maintain peace not by changing each other but by tolerance.Unit 4Part BText 1Exercise 1: 1. d 2. c 3.aExercise 2:Sam has been a police officer for 30 years. He has done everything from patrol to undercover work. He has also done detective work and now he is supervising investigations.Sam thinks being a police officer is a very stressful job, but it depends on the assignment one has. In his opinion the biggest pert of the stress is the fear of the unknown and patrol is the most stressful assignment.Text 2Exercise 1: 1. T 2. F 3. T 4. F 5. TExercise 2:1. ... One is an exercise program, another is a psychological program with counseling for officers. And there are several discussion groups as well for officers to sit down and talk about their stress with other officers.2. 2)...He tries to get some sort of exercise every day. 3)...his personal relationships, especially his relationships with his wife.Part C1. d2. d3. d4. b5. cPART DFinding Creative Outlets for Very Stressful TimesBeautifying your home is a fun and practical pastime that can offer a wonderful sense of accomplishment. Few people may realize, however, that painting the walls, knitting bedspreads or sewing pillows can help relieve the life pressures we all experience.Studies indicate that engaging in creative endeavors such as sewing and crafting can lower one's risk of stroke, kidney damage and heart disease.These calming, repetitive activities relax the mind and can lower blood pressure. Sharing such activities can also be a way to spend time with loved ones, which increases our sense of belonging and further reduces stress.People have always turned to working with their hands in times of stress. Handicraft works, with their symbols of hope, have a far greater impact when created by groups.Keep in mind the following tips to increase the stress-relieving benefits of your craft projects:1. Work with materials that stimulate the senses; work in a comfortable area without distractions; play your favorite music.2.(4处答案framing) Make a family project of selecting your favorite photos, and frame them so they can be enjoyed every day. In stressful times, the photos can lift your spirits as you recall happy moments.3. If your schedule is hectic, choose a practical project that will make the most of crafting time. If a simple kitchen curtain needs to be replaced, start there.Change sometimes compels us to see things in new ways.Unit 5Part BText 1Exercise 1: 1. D 2. DExercise 2: 1.

They intend to spread the message that teenagers no longer want to be targeted by tobacco companies in their advertisements.Exercise 2: 1. c 2.a 3.c 4.c 5.bPart CSkatescooter·Mostly made in Switzerland·In 1999·Not until it was popular in Japan·For sport; for transportation from home to the underground or from a bus stop to the office· a variety of people, from students to business executives·Can be folded up without difficulty and is easy to carry aboutPART D答案（仅供参考）16 years old，go to college, clothes and boys, her grades slipped, a scholarship, wealthy, afford, tuition，normal，fashion and dating，a talk，think about ,putting college off，wait, 未知,push ,take her education, seriously原文She Doesn't Seem Ready for CollegeHi, Jenny, you don't look happy. What's wrong?Jenny: Well, Roger, I've got a problem.Roger: What is it?Jenny: You know my daughter Jane is 16 years old now. And we've begun talking about college. She says she wants to go, but she's let her grades slip and no matter how I urge her to study, all she seems interested in are clothes and boys. We're not wealthy, you know. And it won't be easy for us to afford the tuition if she can't get a scholarship. Is going to college the best choice for her right now?Roger: Do you mean that she doesn't seem ready for college?Jenny: You're right.Roger: Then you'd better have a serious talk with Jane about college.Jenny: A serious talk with her?Roger: Yes, to my mind it's quite normal for girls her age to be wrapped up in fashion and dating, but as a mother you have a right to expect her to pay attention to her studies too.Jenny: Yes, but how?Roger: Ask her how serious she is about college and how hard she's willing to work for it. Jane may be more committed than you realize. But if not, tell her she should think about putting college off for a while. That could give her the push she needs to take her education seriously.Jenny: Sounds like a good idea.Roger: 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.Unit 6Part BText 1Exercise 1: 1. D 2. CExercise 2:Leaves are Nature's food factories. Plants take water from the ground through their roots and carbon dioxide from the air. Then leaves turn water and carbon dioxide into sugar in the presence of sunlight and chlorophyll. This process is called photosynthesis. Leaves are mostly green because chlorophyll is green. As a matter of fact, there are, in leaves, small amounts of yellow and orange all along, but they are covered up by the green chlorophyll in summer. They show up in fall as chlorophyll disappears from the leaves, due to the decline of photosynthesis. The bright reds and purples we see in leaves of trees like maples are made mostly in fall. The brown color of trees like oaks is made from wastes left in the leaves.Text 2Exercise 1: 1. C 2. BExercise 2:1. They are leaf pigments, length of night, and weather.2. It is the steadily increasing length of night.3. They change their colors at the same time no matter whether they are on a high mountain or in warm lowlands because the timing of color change seems to begenetically inherited.4. It is because their needle-like or scale-like foliage is covered with a heavy wax coating and the liquid inside their cells contains cold-resistant elements.5. In the Arctic because the winter there is too cold.Part CExercise: 1. T 2.F 3.T 4.T 5.F 6.F 7.T 8.TPart D答案Where,原文For years Mr. Urquhart and his colleagues wondered where the migratory monarchs spent the winter. (第3、4空答案mystery仅供参考，his colleagues wondered)Despite their hopes, fieldwork in Florida and along the Gulf Coast discovered no large groups of wintering monarchs. Then in late 1972, his wife Norah wrote to newspapers in Mexico about the project, asking for volunteers to report sightings of the butterfly and help with tagging. Finally, in response came a letter, dated February 26, 1973, from a man called Kenneth Brugger in Mexico City, who offered to help find the butterfly hideaway.Traveling in his motor home, Brugger drove back and forth across the Mexican countryside, looking for clues. He was especially watchful at dusk, when the butterflies would be moving about looking for a place to sleep.At last, one day was successful. On the evening of January 9, 1975, Brugger called from Mexico. "I have found them -- millions of monarchs -- in evergreens beside a mountain clearing," he said, unable to control the excitement in his voice.High in a range of volcanic mountains that crosses central Mexico, he came upon hundreds of evergreen trees, each entirely hidden by sleeping butterflies. Some of the insects wore tags that Mr. Urquhart and his helpers had put on them in Canada and the northern United States. The mystery was solved! The monarchs' winter home is well suited to their needs. Throughout the winter the temperature stays near freezing. It is not cold enough to kill the visiting insects, but it is chilly enough to keep them from moving about. The butterflies survive on the stored fat from their summer foods.In spring the butterflies awaken and fly north again. Tagged butterflies, which were marked in Mexico, have been found in the United States.So one mystery is solved. But another remains. How do the butterflies find their way? Those that migrate south in the fall were born sometime during the summer or early fall. They have never been to Mexico. Yet they somehow seek out the same resting places. The mystery of how they find their way is left for future scientists to solve.Unit 7Part BText 1Exercise 1: 1. B 2. CExercise 2: 1. F 2. T 3. F 4. F 5. T 6. T 7. FText 2Exercise 1: 1. D 2.

Because they were afraid of the swaying ceiling.4. to make it easier and safer for people to get down.5. About two dozen were saved.Part CExercise: 1. A 2.B 3.B 4.B 5.APART D答案F T T F T F F原文The Girl Who Sounded the AlarmKelly worked at a photo shop in San Jose, California. In her 16 months of developing photos she has seen a few strange images. Sometimes there were naked people and sometimes there were photos of dead people from funerals. But what came to her eyes that morning was the scariest she had ever seen. In the photographs was a young man in black gloves and belt and pants, with a white T-shirt saying Natural Selection. He was seen either vigorously waving pipe bombs in the air or holding a shotgun. In the background of the photographs Kelly could see pipe bombs with nails taped all around them so they would hurt people when the bombs went off.Photo clerks at her shop are told to report possible suspects of various crimes to authorities. Sometimes, however, there is no clear direction on what should be reported. But the photos of the young man left no doubt in Kelly's mind.Kelly turned to her boss and said, "I'm going to call the police." But the manager hesitated, for he was afraid that this might bring trouble to him and his business. So she consulted her father, a veteran police officer, who told her to dial 911 at once.Officers were waiting when the customer came to pick up the photos. Kelly's decisive action may have prevented mass murder, according to the authorities. The 19-year-old student in the photographs had taken the pictures as a final step in a two-year-long plot to blow up and gun down crowds of students at his college. He was charged with weapons possession with intent to injure and was put in prison. Unit 8Part BText 1Exercise 1: 1. B 2. A 3. DExercise 2: 1. T 2. F 3. T 4. F 5. FText 2Exercise 1: 1. D 2.

In the large majority of right-handers, about 98 or 99 percent, speech is controlled by the left side of the brain.The right side of the brain, however, is usually used for recognizing and remembering faces and understanding relationships in space. In left-handers, it is difficult to know exactly their patterns of brain organization. About 65 to 70 percent of left-handers have speech controlled by the left side of the brain, which is also true of right-handers. But in 30 to 35 percent of left-handers speech is controlled by the right side of the brain. In some left-handers, both sides of the brain are capable of controlling speech.Unit 9Part BText 1Exercise 1:1. In Mr. Andrew Song's office2. Boss and secretary.3.

I mean to know what you want from a negotiation, what your aims and objectives are. Without clear aims, you can't have clear thinking, so aims are vital. What do you want? A contract? A firm agreement? Or just to find out a few things?Then, you have to know what's the minimum deal. Decide what is the lowest offer you can accept for a deal.Then you have to know where you can give way, or make concessions. So fixing concessions and targets is important. Without that you end up agreeing to something and later you think "Oh no, that's a bad deal!" Or you miss out on what seemed a bad deal at the time but was in fact okay, not bad anyway.Another area is to know your strengths and your weaknesses. This is as important as being aware of the opportunities and threats -- or dangers -- that exist outside, from competitors for example. So, know the market, know your strengths, and know about prices and other possibilities. If you do this, you can see the negotiation in its proper context. Then you need to prepare all supporting information. Figures, numbers, pictures, whatever. It could be anything, but the most important thing is that you can support what you say. It helps you to be clear.Next, the team has to be well prepared, well managed. If it's a team you have, everyone needs a clear role, clear responsibilities.Finally, your opening remarks. Prepare what to say. Begin in general terms whatyou hope to achieve -- the general intention, what you're looking for. (答案hopes to achieve)The opening statement sets up the right atmosphere, the right expectations, it helps things to be clear between the two sides.Unit 10Part BText 1Exercise 1: 1. B 2. C 3.

PART DThe Blonde and the LawyerA blonde and a lawyer were seated next to each other on a flight from Los Angeles to New York. The lawyer asked her if she would like to play a fun game with him.(3答案He asked her a question ,she did so)（4答案No）The blonde, tired, just wanted to take a nap. She politely declined and rolled over to the window to catch a few winks. The lawyer persisted and explained that the game was easy and a lot of fun. He explained, "I'll ask you a question, and if you don't know the answer, you pay me $5, and vice versa." Again, she declined and tried to get some sleep. The lawyer, now anxious and nervous, said, "OK, if you don't know the answer you pay me $5, and if I don't know the answer, I'll pay you $500."(5答案he paid her $500,she paid $5)This caught the blonde's attention and as she figured there would be no end to this torment unless she played, she agreed to the game.The lawyer asked the first question. "What's the distance from the earth to the moon?" Without saying a word, the blonde reached into her purse, pulled out a $5 bill and handed it to the lawyer."OK," said the lawyer, "your turn." She asked the lawyer, "What goes up a hillwith three legs and comes down with four legs?"The lawyer, puzzled, took out his laptop computer and searched all his references, no answer. He searched the Internet and the Library of Congress, still no answer. Frustrated, he sent e-mails to all his friends and co-workers, to no avail. After an hour, he woke up the blonde, and handed her $500. "Thank you," the blonde said and turned back to get some more sleep.The lawyer, who was a bit angry, woke her up again and asked, "Well, what's the answer?"Without a word, the blonde reached into her purse, handed the lawyer $5, and went back to sleep.

Life was good. She had a multimillion-dollar mansion in Los Angeles, a 25-acre ranch in Hailey, Idaho. Nothing about that glamorous life had anything in common with her poor childhood.She grew up in New Mexico. Her parents were hard drinkers who moved her and her half-brother 30 times before settling in Los Angeles when she was 14. Fiercely ambitious, Moore began modeling while at high school and dropped out at 16 to pursue an acting career. Soon after she turned 18, she got a part in a popular soap opera. But her big break came in 1985 when she starred as a drug addict in a hit movie.Moore met Bruce Wilis in 1987. It was love at first sight. They got married in Las Vegas four months later. The next year, Wilis starred in Die Hard, making him one of Hollywood's top-paid actors, while Moore's success in Ghost and A Few Good Men boosted her paycheck to more than $12 million per movie.(In the 1990s答案未知) These were followed by three big-budget movies, one of which was The Scarlet Letter. Then her career stalled. And in October 2000, her 13-year-old marriage ended in divorce. Later she moved out of Hollywood. Since then, she has been living a simpler life, residing full time in her ranch in Idaho. Her ambition is now focused noton stardom but on being a good mother to her daughters with Wilis. "My goal is to build a loving relationship so that my children, as adults, will want to share their lives with me," she said.Unit 12Part BText 1Exercise 1: 1. B 2. B 3.

It was as if an ancient great-great uncle were about to pass away: a time for nostalgia and regret, rather than grief.Unlike the German mark, the franc had never been a symbol of national rebirth or glory. Its recent history was relatively stable but it had to be revalued as recently as 1960. In the 1950s, its value and reputation were so weak that French politicians considered abolishing it and replacing it with something else, based on the value of the pound.But money is money after all. It is with us every day. It was surprising that such a conservative people did not express greater sorrow for the loss of their familiar francs. It was also surprising they did not feel a greater sense of aesthetic loss for the franc had always been one of the world's most beautiful currencies.The name franc was first used in 1360, to celebrate and help to pay for the release。

The love can't run well .B:We all want to have a happy marriage.Living with the one we put our whole love on to death is everyone's hope.But we don't know who to realize it.

Beside money, culture is also important. As a couple, you will have a lot of time to talk to each other, so the same culture can help you do that. You can share your experience or something fun to each other, and you will enjoy your marriageC:In my opinion ,characters and love are the most important crucial of the marriages. If the lovers have the same characters ,they laugh at the same thing they thought funny;they love the same thing, In a word ,everything in love seems perfect to them,and they feel wonderful with each other. At last, the most important thing to get a successful marriage, you must love each other; you are willing to do everything for your wife or husband. When he or she is stuck in trouble,it is his health and feeling that you care rather than how much money has been lost that you care; It is the most important thing. If you don’t love your wife or your husband, the marriage will be painful. You can imagine that if you don’t love your husband or your wife, you don’t want to cook dinner for him or her, you don’t want to talk with him or her, It is really a big problem.So,if you want have a happy marriage,look for one you really love.话题三What qualities do you value most in a young person?A:Hey,guys,let me ask you a question,what qualities do you value most in a young person?B:Eh,personally,I think honesty is the most important quality for the young.

Teachers get annoyed when they catch students cheating on exams; children are misled when they see their parents tell lies so as to evade the responsibility they should take.

As an old Chinese saying goes,Man Can't Live Without Honesty,which suggests the importance of honesty. For a young person, it is necessary to be honest.B:What about you?What’s your answer to that question?A: Well, as for me, I will take filial piety as the most important quality for youth. It is right for the young to fight for their life, to achieve their dreams by hard working and to live in distant lands for better opportunities. But when chasing their goals, they shouldn’t forget that there are parents home, waiting their message. Parents bear bitter hardships to bring up their little babies.

As a college student, what do you study for, the ability to pass exams, or the ability to learn?A Hello, FRED, the final exams are coming, every student is preparing for it. But do you think we college students study just to pass exams?B No, I don’t think so. Exam s are just a way to test yourself. We should set goals for ourselves to learn more useful knowledge and the ability to learn it by ourselves. In my opinion, we study for the ability to learn.A I think so, there are much knowledge we need to learn, which we can’t handle in a short time. But if we cover the ability to learn, we can learn the new things more easily.B I can’t agree any more. What’ more, th rough the process of gaining the ability to learn, we improve our qualities, and become more quick-witted.A So, we shouldn’t regard the exams as the final goal of study, we should have a long-term sight.B Yes, but in china the main way to evaluate a student is examing, so some students are pushed to study the strategies by which you can easily pass the exams.

And can you give me some advice?A: No problem, in fact, I am concerned about it recently, too. In my opinion, studying abroad is a chance to gain more experience and knowledge. What about you?B: I am against studying abroad. I addmit that studying abroad is a chance to gain more experience and knowledge. But since the swift development of China while most of the Western countries are suffered from the financial crisis and experience the recession, staying in China may be better.A: Well, although the financial crisis has revealed a lot of problems in capitalist(资本主义的) society, there are still a lot of advantage we should learn. For example, food security has become a hot topic in China since Sanlu Incident broke out. But why these kind incidentsdidn’t happen in other countries? Obviously, their supervision mechanisms(机制) are more comprehensive and rigorous(严格). Improving various management mechanism is the responsibility of next generation.B: Failure is the mother of success. Accumulate experience and learn from mistakes are the key to the final success.A: What’s more, studying abroad is an opportunity for global training and experience outside China. And studying abroad also provide working chance which offer higher status and better prospects then domestic(国内的civil) companies.B: I don’t quite agree with you. The best immediate and long-term career development is likely to be found in one of the world’s fastest-growing-economy that is right at home China. And you know? We shouldn’t encourage students to go abroad. First, the high cost may not be afforded by every student. Second, many Chinese talents stay abroad after graduated from college, which may cause Chinese brain drain.A: So you think many Chinese talents will stay abroad and work for multinational corporations?Now let me ask you a question. If the academic and working condition in China are better than other countries, why do they prefer to stay abroad? I have some friends who study abroad. I found that theyprefer to study abroad for the open academic atmosphere. They can discuss freely, even debate with their teachers about their questions. B: Since the combination between Chinese and Western College is getting tighter, the academic atmosphere in China is also more inclusive(包容的) than in the past decade. As a result, students stay in China can also experience the open academic atmosphere. Besides, there are more foreign students come to China and study. Chinese traditional culture is much diversified(多元化), which is very attractive for them. It shows that studying in China will also be a great experience. So why our Chinese students eager to study abroad so much? I have to say directly that many Chinese students studying abroad don’t know their own cultural at all but they are eager to learn foreign culture. I don’t mean that foreign cultural isn’t worth learning. But since the Internet reinforce the trend of globalization, we can search the Internet and learn from foreign countries easily. We can do distance learning by the Internet. So studying abroad isn’t so necessary.A: Well, I think we will never reach a consensus. Just like every coin has its two sides, studying abroad also has its advantages and disadvantages.7.In this increasingly internationalized world, festivals and traditionsalso become universal. More often than not, you can see western festivals like Christmas being celebrated in China. What‟s your thought on it?A: Christmas is the most important festival in western countries. More Chinese celebrate Christmas now. However, do Chinese know the meaning behind the Christmas? I wonder it. It is not just a holiday when people go shopping and send gifts crazily, eat big meal, and decorate a Christmas tree. Christmas is an annual commemoration of the birth of Jesus Christ celebrated generally on December 25 as a religious and cultural holiday. Since I grown up in church, I know the real meaning of this holiday. But most of the Chinese just celebrate it for fun. In my opinion, not only Chinese but also billions of people around the world should know the meaning first before they celebrate it.B: I can totally understand your feeling, but I have different opinion on Chinese celebrating Christmas. As a member of global village, we should respect their culture. Not knowing the meaning behind the holiday doesn’t mean we don’t respect them. Since this is a internationalized world, holiday also become a treasure of people all over the world. So we can also celebrate it with them. Don’t you think billions of people celebrate Christmas is another way of cultural of diffusion?A: What do you mean?B: Actually, not all of the Chinese don’t know the meaning behind it. Just as you, you know it vry well and you are christian. It means you know a part of western culture.A: I admitted that. Not only Christmas but also other holiday, such as Halloween, Thanksgiving are celebrated people around the world. And Chinese traditional festivals are also celebrated by foreigns now. There are many festivities in New York, San Francisco and LA on the Spring Festival. Although there are usually hold in China town, many foreigners celebrate it with the local Chinese. They know more about our culture by the Spring Festival. Festival and traditions are really the symbol of culture. They are people’s treasure which we should not only respect but also inherit.B: So celebrating the holiday from other countries is an irresistible trend of globalization, including celebrating Christmas.8.What do you think is the worst (man-made or natural) disaster? Howcould we prepare ourselves for it?A: have you ever heard that the earthquake in Japan made people lose their lives?B: wow, that's incredible, the earthquake is so terrible!A:Yes, the worst disaster on the earth. It's unpredictable and destructive.B:so do you know how can we prepare ourselves for it?A: we need to improve building structures and prepare our houses.B: i agree with you, these are particularly necessary for those who live in areas where earthquake are common.A:and what's more,to prepare ourselves, if possible, we cab have earthquake survival supplies including a radio receiver, a torch extra batteries.B:Do you mean first aid supplies? I suppose we need to have warm clothing and a tent as well.A: and keep a fire extinguisher handy, at home, at work, and in our own car.B then how about family members? Don't we need to have some earthquake emergency plans?A:of course. Everyone should agree on a meeting point outside of an area, perhaps in a town several miles away.B:what should i do if I want to communicate with my family if there's an earthquake?A: well, It dosen't matter, you can call to check in with a relative who lives more than a hundred mils away.B:seems like a sensible arrangement! These precautions can make a great difference in saving lives and preventing the loss of homes.A: absolutely! So don't forget to put them into practice.B: surely we will.9.There is a growing concern over cloning in modern society. Are youfor or against it? State your reasons.A:Against:Cloning is a radical challenge to the most fundamental laws of biology, so it's reasonable to be concerned that it might be a preface to activities that will threaten human society and dignity.Yet much of the moral opposition seems also to grow out of an automatic, unthinking disgust.This refusal to consider the issue logically makes it hard for even trained scientists and other experts to see the matter clearly.While human cloning might not offer great benefits to humanity, no one has yet made a convincing case that it would do any real harm, either.Conservative spiritual leaders have claimed that cloning a human constitutes a gross attack on human dignity.That would surely be true if a cloned individual were treated as a lesserbeing, with fewer rights or lower status.B:But why suppose that the laws that protect our rights and dignity would not be applicable to cloned persons?A:A leading lawyer has suggested that cloning would violate the "right to a unique genetic identity".B:Where did he come up with such a right?A:It makes perfect sense to say that adult persons have a right not to be cloned without their voluntary , informed consent .B:But if such consent were given, whose "right" to genetic identity would be violated?A:Many of the vivid warnings of science fiction concerning the prospect of human cloning turn out, upon reflection , to be wildly mprobable .B:There's the fear, for instance, that parents might clone a child for the sake of having " surplus parts" in case the original child needs an organ transplant.A:But parents of identical twins don't view one child as an organ farm for the other.Why should cloned children's parents be any different?B:Another disturbing thought is that cloning will lead to efforts to breed individuals with genetic qualities perceived as desirable (math geniuses, soccer players, etc.).Such ideas are offensive, not only because of an unthinking disgust, but also because of the horrors carried out by the Nazis in the name of improving their race.But there's a vast difference between the breeding programs as practiced by some groups (where the urge to breed certain types of people leads to efforts to destroy other types) and the much more harmless forms already practiced in democratic societies (where, say, lawyers freely choose to have sexual relations with other lawyers). Banks stocked with the frozen sperm of geniuses already exist, but they haven't created a master race because few women are queuing up to get pregnant this way.A:Why should we think it would be different if human cloning becomes available?A:So who will likely take advantage of cloning?B:Perhaps a couple whose child is dying.This might seem psychologically suspect, but a cloned child born to such suspect parents stands no greater or lesser chance of being loved, or rejected, than a child created the normal way.Infertile couples are also likely to seek out cloning.That such couples have other options ( artificially bringing egg and sperm together, or adopting a child) is not an argument for denying them the right to clone.Or consider an example raised by Judge Richard Posner: a couple in which the husband has some unfortunate genetic defect . Currently, if this couple wants a genetically related child, they have four not altogether pleasant options.They can reproduce naturally and resign themselves to the risk of passing on the disease to the child.They can go to a sperm bank and take a chance on unknown genes. They can bring egg and sperm together artificially and dispose of any affected baby before placing it in the mother, or before birth—though that might be objectionable, too.Or, they can get a male relative of the father to be a sperm donor, if such a relative exists.This is one case where even people bothered by creating a child under the lens of a microscope might not see cloning as the worst option.A:Even if human cloning offers no obvious benefits to mankind, why ban it?In a democracy we don't usually pass laws against something before there is actual or probable evidence of harm.Before we go any further, it might make sense to require a temporary pause on research into human cloning in order to make a systematic enquiry into the grave questions it raises.When research into cloning is resumed , human cloning should remain a research activity for an extended period.And if it is ever attempted, it should—and no doubt will—take place only under careful examination and layers of legal administration . Most important, human cloning should be governed by the same laws that now protect human rights.A world that is not safe for cloned humans would be a world that is not safe for the rest of us.10.W ould you sign a premarital agreement with your future husband orwife? Why or why not? Give examples or reasons to support your opinion.A: Yes, I will. Because divorce rate is getting higher and financial disputeis usually the critical problem, to sign a premarital agreement can avoid getting trouble in the process of divorce.B: Why are you so pessimistic about your future marriage? Why don’t you think you and your future husband will be the prince and princess in the fairy tales , living happily? For me, to sign a prenuptial agreement is unnecessary. It may take the romance out of the marriage.A: Yeah, I know. But as a precaution. For example, recently the Hong Kong property billionaire’s son has to hand over 1.2 billion Hong Kong dollars to his ex-wife, because he dismissed his father advise of signing a prenuptial agreement in 2000. It must be an action Samathur Li most regret.B: Well, maybe I should think deeply about it after knowing the news. Oh! You are right! Signing a prenup will be necessary for nowaday couples. I have read a news that Americans are taking a cautious approach to marriage and are seeking more prenuptial agreements before walking down the aisle. It said that it is not just the wealthy and famous who are looking to safeguard their assets when a marriage crumbles. More middle-class couples are opting for prenups, which can also include adultery clauses, protection of retirement benefits and even custody of the dog, accroding to the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawers. A: There is a odd phenomenon occuring worldwide. Many couples get married because of money, car and house. Have you ever seen a TVprogram named “Fei Cheng Wu Rao”?B: Of course. Many single men and women go to that program and want to find their Mrs. Right or Mr. Right. However, the most important standard is usually having a car and a house.A: That’s right. Many couples’ marriage are based on material instead of the emotion, their love. As a result, divorce rate has become higher and higher, and signing a prenup in oreder to avoid some financial problem is necessary.B: Yeah. It is a planning tool. Given that half of marriages end in divorce it makes sense to plan. It is reported an increase in prenups in the last five years, more than half said more women are seeking the legal agreements. More women are working now than in previous decades and they are earning higher salaries. In our historically male-dominated culture women didn't control money and now they need to plan as much as the men. More women have more assets these days and have more control over funds.B: In addition, a prenup can save a couple from a terrible marriage. A couple should make sure how much each of them should pay for the housing loan. Besides, a couple can make an agreement on some problems, such as parents supporting, whether to live with their parents after getting married. Having a baby or not usually cause quarrel between a newly-married couple. So making an agreement on whetherhaving a baby or not has a positive affect on a happy marriage. What’s more, who should teach the child or children is also improtent. For instance, my parents had made a parol agreement before I born. So even if my father thinks my mom is too strict with me sometimes, he has never speak for me. Because it is clear that the power of teaching is mastered by my mother in the agreement. So far, they have never argue about this topic.A: And just like what you said at the beginning, signing a prenup may take the romance out of the prenup. But If the couple live happily and never think about divorce such a awful word, how can it have a negative affect on the happy marriage? On the other hand, you can regard the prenuptial agreement as a safeguard of the happy marriage in the future. If you really think it will take the romance out fo the marriage, you can sign it and then store it in the drawer and never look at it again.。

Studying abroad can improve their language ability and let them grasp the advanced technologies.Studying abroad can let youngsters make friends with people from different countries with different background.Studying abroad can help youngsters build their own life and live independently.Problems:Studying abroad would give families a big financial burden and is not suitable for low-income families’ children.Studying abroad means youngsters have to face the living pressure on their own because most of them have no relative abroad.Youngsters’ studying abroad separates them and their families. So youngsters always misstheir families and feel lonely.Unit 3Topics for Discussion1.In our families, what do we do to try to prevent burglaries? For example, isthere a burglar-proof door to your apartment?Yes, there is. Having a burglar-proof door is a common way to prevent burglaries. Peoplealways feel dangerous in this high crime rate socie ty, so almost everyone’s apartment has a burglar-proof door.Lock our doors even when we are going out just for a few minutes, because we need to keep alert all the time.Burglar alarm system is also a good way to prevent burglaries. If a thief enters your house, this system would call the police and your possession will be in a safe condition.2.In our contact with the outside world, what precautions do we take to steerclear of danger? For example, do you speak to strangers?Yes, but I seldom speak to strangers because when I was young, my parents always told me not to speak to strangers for they maybe have an evil thought on you.When we’re surfing on the Internet or chatting online, we shouldn’t tell strangers our personal information, especially our bank account number and password.If we plan to travel on holidays, we’d better not go to an unfamiliar place alone. When we are on a trip, we have to pay more attention to our valuables. And we need to always keep our cell phone in a good condition. Because if we are in danger, a good connection on the phone can help us get out of trouble easily.3.What do you think can be done to improve older people’s lives if theirchildren do not live with them?Older people can keep a pet. If they feel lonely or miss their children, they can talk to their pets.Although animals cannot talk to us, they do can share our happiness and sorrow for they have emotion, too.Older people can learn how to surfing on the Internet and chatting with others so that they can see their children and talk to them on the computer if both of them have a web camera and a microphone.Older people need to take part in some activities which can widen and intensify their relations.They also could do regular exercise such as jogging and playing badminton, etc. To the older people, stay healthy is the most important.4.What should be done to help unemployed people?Re-training programs should be organized to help the unemployed people to learn new skills and help them keep up with the changing society. Solving the unemployment problem needs the effort of the whole society, including our government; the unemployed people themselves and all those who are ready to offer their help.Our government should take some necessary measures to create more opportunities ofemployment for these people.Unit 4Topics for Discussion1.What should I thank my parent(s) / teacher(s) / friend(s) for? If you have,what have you done? If you haven’t, what do you plan to do?I should thank my parents for bring me this world, giving me life and educated me.I should thank my parents for brought me up from a child who doesn’t know anything to a manwho will build his own career.I should thank my parents for giving me the chance to experience the richness of the world.I should thank my teachers for giving me the knowledge and improve our ability.I should thank my teachers for teaching me the principle of life such as honesty, responsibility,tolerance and never give up.I should thank my friends for giving me the courage to overcome difficulties when I am in atough time and my mood fall down to the bottom.I should thank my friends for bringing me tears and happiness during my growth, lighten thedarkness in my life.To my parents, what I have done at this moment is that to care for them by giving them a call every week. I also should work hard, have a regular exercise and build a strong body. In the future, if I work in another place and cannot live with them, I plan to back home regularly and spend more time to keep them company.To my teachers, what I have done is that sending greeting cards at Spring Festival and sending them greeting messages at Teachers’ day. I plan to write letters to them in my free time.To my friends, what I have done is that keeping in touch with them and sending them a greeting message or a gift at their birthday. I think our friendship will last not because the money or the benefits but the time we spend together and the precious memory in our mind.2.Are holidays a good time to express gratitude? Which holidays are the mostappropriate?Yes, holidays are a very good time to express gratitude.If I want to express gratitude to my parents, Mother’s day and Father’s day are the mostappropriate. If I want to thank my teachers, I think Teacher’s day is the mo st appropriate. If I want to show my gratitude to my lover in the future, the Valentines’ day is the most appropriate.But if I miss all of these holidays to express gratitude to them, I think the Spring Festival is alsoa good time to show my thanks.3.Do you think it is necessary for the Chinese to celebrate Western festivals?No, I don’t think so for it is not necessary. But I don’t mean that we cannot celebrate theseWestern festivals. I don’t think it’s necessary to find a definite answer to whether we C hinese should celebrate the foreign festivals or not. We ought to respect others’ decision instead of interference in their choices. It’s not a bad thing for the people to take advantage of the western festivals, entertaining themselves, getting together and exchanging greetings.But as we all know that we have a lot of traditional festivals are now forgotten by some people of our generation. They have lost their interest in our traditional festivals such as Tomb-sweeping day, Dragon-boat festival, Double Ninth Festival, etc. In general, the Chinese young men almost don’t know the profound implications of our traditional Chinese festivals. Instead they are familiar with the western festivals and go after them like a flock of ducks. Obviously, this is a situation that we do not want to see.I think i t is right to lay emphasis on our traditional festivals but it’s not proper to reject theforeign ones on this account. In fact, western festivals like Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day and Father’s Day, which have tak en root in our country and becoming popular festivals among our people. They are a good time to express our gratitude to our relatives.All in all, it’s natural for the Chinese people, especially our young people, to take part in the western festival activities, relaxing and relieving themselves. I think if you are interested in the celebration of the western festivals, just join it and enjoy yourself. If you are not interested in it, you can ignore them but don’t complain and make criticism.4.It is sometimes claimed that many festivals have been created just toencourage people to spend money. Do you agree?No, I don’t agree with that.It is common knowledge that every nation has its own special festivals with colorfulbackgrounds, which are closely connected with its special history or excellent culture. Sofestivals are the products of the sedimentary accretion of a nation’s culture over thousands of years. Some people think so, as you just said, is probably because people often spend much money during a festival. Well, I think people spend more money during a festival than atnormal times is reasonable because it needs money to buy different things to celebrate afestival. To the businessmen, festivals are a good time to increase income. To the consumers, they also are willing to pay at this special time. The view that festivals only have been created to encourage people to spend money is too simple and too narrow. I think people spend more money during a festival is a win-win situation to the whole society.Unit 5Topics for Discussion1.Is it enough to help only those people we know?Well, I think that depends.The pre-requisite of helping others is that you are a man who can offer help. The most important thing to measure it’s enough or not is that your pe rsonal ability. If you are a man who needs help, there is no need for us to talk about this issue. If you are a merchant who has a highincome, I think it’s not enough to help only those people you know. If you are a student who has no income and needs par ents’ money to live, I think it’s enough to help those people you know.Using one sentence to conclude my idea is that ‘w ith great power, comes great responsibility’.2.What is the relationship between one’s attitude to life and one’s fate? Doesthe former determine the latter or is it the other way round?Well, I think our life is truly in the hands of fate from the day we are born because we cannot choose our parents and it has no relationship with our attitude to life. But when we are born to the world, we get the chance to choose the attitude to life which will partly determines our latter life. As time goes by, the attitude you choose will show an impact on your life and your fate will be changed to some degree. But your attitude to life is only one cause to your fate, not the direct cause.Yes, to a large extend, I think the former determines the latter. Because what you did in theformer has a direct impact on your latter just like if I keep doing exercise for one hour, of course,I will have a strong body one or two years later. But if I am a good student in the university,does that mean I will have a high paid job in the future? I think it also related to your personal fate.3.Do you think success is due more to luck and opportunity or to diligence?Why?In my opinion, luck, opportunity and diligence are all important to success, but success is due more to one’s diligence.Generally speaking, there are plenty of opportunities for everyone in our society, but only those who are prepared adequately and diligent can make use of them to achieve their purpose.Opportunities only come to the well-prepared person who bears perseverance and perspiration and it can be created by diligent people. Diligence is the fundamental pre-condition, which can change opportunity into success. Diligence is the first key factor to success, that is, to be diligent means to work with full energy and think with full effort. To be diligent means to practice with complete dedication and constant searching for a better method. Diligence helps us removeignorance, overcome difficulties, and enlighten our minds. There is no doubt that if you want to achieve something or intend to fulfill one of your ambitions, you must work hard, make efforts and get prepared. Otherwise, you will take no advantage of opportunities when they come to visit you.。

I started dating with another woman.It was Peggy's idea. One day she said to me, 'Life is too short, you need to spend time with the people you love. You probably won't believe me, but I know you love her and I think that if the two of you spend more time together, it will make us closer.' The 'other' woman my wife was encouraging me to date is my mother, a 72-year-old widow who has lived alone since my father died 20 years ago. Right after his death, I moved 2,500 miles away to California and started my own life and career. When I moved back near my hometown six years ago, I promised myself that I would spend more time with mom. But with the demands of my job and three kids, I never got around to seeing her much beyond family get-togethers and holidays.Mom was surprised and suspicious when I called and suggested the two of us go out to dinner and a movie.'What's wrong?' she asked.'I thought it would be nice to spend some time with you,' I said. 'Just the two of us.''I would like that a lot,' she said.When I pulled into her driveway, she was waiting by the door with her coat on. Her hair was curled, and she was smiling. 'I told my lady friends I was going out with my son, and they were all impressed. They can't wait to hear about our evening,' Mother said.Exercise 1: 1. c 2. a3.bQuestions:1. What would make the speaker closer to his wife, Peggy?2. What do you know about the speaker's mother?3. Which of the following adjectives best describes Peggy?Exercise 2:1. She suggested that her husband spend more time with his mother. She said to her husband, "Life is too short, but you need to spend time with the people you love. You probably won't believe me, but I know you love her and I think that if the two of you spend more time together , it will make us closer."2. 1) ...she was waiting by the door with her coat on and she had her hair curled.2) She had told her lady friends about this.Text 2Dating with My Mother (Part Two)We didn't go anywhere fancy, just a neighborhood place where we could talk. Since her eyes now see only large shapes and shadows, I had to read the menu for both of us.'I used to be the reader when you were little,' she said.'Then it is time for you to relax and let me return the favor,' I said.We had a nice talk over dinner, just catching up on each other's lives. We talked for so long that we missed the movie.'I'll go out with you again,' my mother said as I dropped her off, 'but only if you let me buy dinner next time.'I agreed.'How was your date?' my wife asked when I got home that evening.'Nice...nicer than I thought it would be,' I said.Mom and I get out for dinner a couple of times a month. Sometimes we take in a movie, but mostly we talk. I tell her about my trails at work and brag about the kids and Peggy. Mom fills me in on family gossip and tells me about her past. Now I knowwhat it was like for her to work in a factory during the Second World War. I know how she met my father there, and know how they went through the difficult times. I can't get enough of these stories. They are important to me, a part of my history. We also talk about the future. Because of health problems, my mother worries about the days ahead.Spending time with my mom has taught me the importance of slowing down. Peggy was right. Dating another woman has helped my marriage.Exercise 1: 1. c 2. d 3. dQuestions:1. What does the story mainly tell us?2. Which of the following is true?3. What can you learn from the story?Ex. 21. took// out to dinner// neighborhood2. nicer than he expected.3. A couple of times.4. the importance of slowing down//his marriageUnit 2Text1What a Coincidence! (Part One)Andrew had always wanted to be a doctor. But the tuition for a medical school in 1984 was 15,000 dollars a year, which was more than his family could afford. To help him realize his dream, his father, Mr. Stewart, a real estate agent, began searching the house-for-sale ads in newspapers in order to find extra business. One advertisement that he noted down was for the sale of a house in a nearby town. Mr. Stewart called the owner, trying to persuade him to let him be his agent. Somehow he succeeded and the owner promised that he would come to him if he failed to get a good deal with his present agent. Then they made an appointment to meet and discuss the thing.As good things are never easy to acquire, the time for the appointment had to be changed almost ten times. On the day when they were supposed to meet at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, Mr. Stewart received another call from the owner. His heart sank as he feared there would be another change of time. And so it was. The owner told him that he couldn't make it at three but if he would come right then, they could talk it over. Mr. Stewart was overjoyed. Leaving everything aside, he immediately set out to drive to the house.As he approached the area, he had a strange feeling of having been there before. The streets, the trees, the neighborhood, all looked familiar to him. And when he finally reached the house, something clicked in his mind. It used to be the house of his father-in-law! The old man had died fifteen years ago but when he was alive, he had often visited him with his wife and children. He remembered that, like his son Andrew, his father-in-law had also wanted to study medicine and, failing to do so, had always hoped that one of his two daughters or his grandchildren could someday become a doctor.Exercise 1:1. b 2. a 3. d 4. cQuestions:1. Who are the two main characters in the story you have just heard?2. How did Mr. Stewart get to know the owner of the house?3. What problem did Mr. Stewart have?4. What is the coincidence in the story you have just heard?Exercise 2:1984 / son / medical school / tuition / afford it / realize / newspaper ads / extra business / advertisement / succeeded / agent / changed / phone call / put aside / doing / immediately / familiar / father-in-law's / visited / his father-in-law alive / coincidence Text2What a Coincidence! (Part Two)When he entered the house, Mr. Stewart was even more amazed to find that the house was decorated exactly as he had remembered it. He told the owner about this and the latter became intrigued too. However, they were in for even greater surprises. It so happened that in the middle of their discussion, a postman came to deliver a letter. And the letter was addressed to Mr. Stewart's father-in-law! Were it not for Mr. Stewart's presence there and then, the letter would be returned as no person of that name lived in the house any longer. As the postman demanded a signature on the receipt slip, Mr. Stewart signed for his long-deceased father-in-law. Mystified, the owner urged Mr. Stewart to open the letter and see what it contained. The letter was from a bank. When he opened it, two words immediately met his eye -- 'For education'. It was a bank statement of an amount his father-in-law had put in years ago for his grandchildren's education needs. With the interest it had earned over the years, the standing value of the amount came to a little over $15,000, just enough money to cover the tuition of Andrew's first year at a medical college!Another thing that is worth mentioning is about the postman. The original postman, who had worked in this neighborhood, called in sick that day. So the postman, who was new to the area, came to deliver mail in his place. Had it been the old postman, the letter would undoubtedly be returned to the sender as he knew full well that no person bearing that name lived in that house any longer.The miracle was a blessing for Andrew. With the money given to him by his grandfather he was able to study medicine. Now he is a doctor in Illinois.Exercise1・1. The house was decorated exactly the same as Mr. Stewart remembered it2. Mr. Stewart happened to be in the house when a postman came to deliver a letterto his father-in-law who had died 15 years ago.3. The old postman had called in sick that day, and the postman who came in hisplace was not familiar with the neighborhood. Other wise the letter would have been returned to its sender.Exercise 2:1. He was intrigued.2. A bank statement.3. his father-in-law had put an amount of money in the bank for his grandchildren's education.4. A little over $15,000.5. He could use the money to cover the tuition of his first year at a medical college.6. He is a doctor in Illinois.Unit 3Text 1Krimali (Part One)On the morning of the devastating earthquake that struck India in 2001, Krimali, a girl of 17, had just left home to go to an interview for a position of a sales clerk. She was pleased with her green and yellow flowered dress, but felt something wasn't quiteright about her hair. She returned home, removing her shoes and leaving them at the door.Moments later, the earthquake struck. Ceilings and walls in the building shook in the deafening noise. Then everything began crashing down.Krimali and her immediate family escaped serious injury but were unable to make their way out. The ceiling of an entire room towered above the only possible escape route. Completely detached on three sides, the huge slab clung to an outside wall on its fourth side. To an observer, it could drop at any moment.People were screaming and didn't know what to do. Krimali decided to act. Carefully she climbed barefoot up and down the debris until she reached a point just beneath the swaying ceiling. About four meters below were uneven pieces of concrete, broken glass and smashed furniture, all mixed with sharp spikes of iron. She knew if she could manage to get down to the ground level, she could make her way to safety. She paused to figure out the best way down. As there wasn't any good place to jump, she just jumped. Luckily, she landed in a crouch, her feet missing any sharp edges. Emboldened by her good fortune, Krimali knew it was up to her to persuade others to follow.Exercise 1: Ex 1 1-2 c c Ex 2 1-8 T F F F F T T FText 2Krimali ( Part Two)Krimali planned to rescue her family first, but just then she heard a woman from two storeys above screaming for someone to save her two-month-old baby."Throw the baby to me," Krimali shouted. "I can catch her!"The woman refused. Krimali told the woman to wrap the baby in bed sheets and then toss her down. Crying uncontrollably, the mother wrapped the little girl but still would not part with her baby. As the mother tried to decide what to do, Krimali intently watched the concrete ceiling hanging above her. Finally the mother tossed the baby. Krimali made a clean catch. A bright smile lit up the woman's face. "I'll be back!" Krimali called out, hugging the child to her as she hurriedly picked her way out to where survivors had gathered.She gave up the baby, then asked if any of the men there would come back with her to help others trapped in the building. No one came forward, for they were all afraid of that swaying ceiling. But for Krimali, a small girl of 154 centimeters in height and weighing about 50 kilos, her fears had been lifted by what she had accomplished.On her way back into the ruins, she saw part of a large door. It was extremely heavy but she managed to drag it to the spot just below the hanging ceiling. By placing it on the ruins, she created something like a sliding board. With Krimali coaching her, the baby's mother partly jumped and partly rolled down the board to the ground level. Krimali led her through the debris to her baby.In the hours that followed Krimali made countless rescue missions into the building, each time in the shadow of the huge ceiling. Thanks to her courage, about two dozen men, women and children were saved.Exercise 1:Questions :1-2 d bExercise 2:1. Because she was afraid Krimali might not be able to catch her.2. Because she thought the bed sheets could somehow protect the baby from being hurt if she failed to catch her.3. Because they were afraid of the swaying ceiling.4. To make it easier and safer for people to get down.5. About two dozen were saved.Unit 4Text 1A Marriage Agreement (Part One)(Tom and Linda have signed a marriage agreement. Both agree not to break the rules outlined in the agreement. John, a reporter, is talking to them about the agreement.) John: Tom, Linda, first I'd like to ask you why you decided to write this unusual agreement.Tom: We found that many problems are caused when a person has different expectations from his or her spouse. We wanted to talk about everything openly and honestly before we started living together.Linda: Also we both know how important it is to respect each other's pet peeves. Like, I can get very annoyed if others leave stuff -- clothing, papers, everything! -- lying around on the floor. It really bugged me, so we put that in the agreement.John: This is mentioned in Article 1: Cleaning Up, isn't it? It says, "Nothing will be left on the floor overnight. Everything must be cleaned up and put away before going to bed."鐙眉・畠仟井寄僥哂囂油傍縮殻3 基宛Unit1Part B Passage1 Exercise1: 1.c 2.a. 3.b Exercise2 : 1.her husband spend more time with his mother 2.1)she was waiting by the door with her coat on and she her hair curled .2)she had told her lady friends about this.

My first job was shining shoes for customers when I was six years old. My duties increased as I grew older. By age ten I was clearing tables and washing plates. My father made it clear that I had to meet certain standards. I had to be on time, hard-working and polite to the customers. I was never paid for any work I did. One day I made the mistake of telling Dad I thought he should give me ten pounds a week. He said, "OK, then how about you paying me for the three meals a day when you eat here and for the times you bring your friends here for free drinks?" He figured I owed him about 40 pounds a week. This taught me quite a lot.Unit 2Part BText 1Exercise 1: 1. b 2. a 3. d 4. cExercise 2:1984 / son / medical school / tuition / afford it / realize / newspaper ads / extra business / advertisement / succeeded / agent / changed / phone call / put aside / doing / immediately / familiar / father-in-law's / visited / his father-in-law alive / coincidence.Text 2Exercise 1: 1.

TPART DUnexplained ParallelsOne of the best-known collections of parallels is between the careers of Abraham Lincoln and John F. Kennedy. Both were shot on a Friday, in the presence of their wives; both were succeeded by a Southerner named Johnson; both their killers were themselves killed before they could be brought to justice. Lincoln had a secretary called Kennedy; Kennedy a secretary called Lincoln. Lincoln was killed in the Ford Theater; Kennedy met his death while riding in a Lincoln convertible made by the Ford Motor Company -- and so on.Similar coincidences often occur between twins. A news story from Finland reported of two 70-year-old twin brothers dying two hours apart in separate accidents, with both being hit by trucks while crossing the same road on bicycles. According to the police, the second victim could not have known about his brother's death, as officers had only managed to identify the first victim minutes before the second accident.Connections are also found between identical twins who have been separated at birth. Dorothy Lowe and Bridget Harrison were separated in 1945, and did not meet until 1979, when they were flown over from Britain for an investigation by a psychologist at the University of Minnesota. (8处答案为met,34)They found that when they met they were both wearing seven rings on their hands, two bracelets on one wrist, a watch and a bracelet on the other. They married on the same day, had worn identical wedding dresses and carried the same flowers. Dorothy had named her son Richard Andrew and her daughter Catherine Louise; Bridget had named her son Andrew Richard and her daughter Karen Louise.(10处答案similar自己看下这个不一定, children) In fact, she had wanted to call her Catherine. Both had a cat called Tiger. They also had a string of similar mannerisms when they were nervous.How can we explain the above similarities?Unit 3Part BText 1Exercise 1: 1. b 2. c 3.aExercise 2:1.

Once Tom and Linda got lost when they were driving to a friend's wedding.3. Linda wanted to stop at a gas station to ask the way, but Tom thought he could figure it out.4. As a result, they were late for the wedding because they went in the wrong direction for forty miles.Part C1. ...not so special/not extremes2. a. ...get angry quickly b. ...change themselves...PART D原文Husbands and Wives Don't See Things AlikeLet's face it -- husbands and wives just don't see things alike. Take TV remote controls, for example. I'm a channel-grazer. When I watch the news, I flip back and forth through four different networks."It drives me crazy when you do that," my wife complains. I don't understand why she has no interest in other channels. After all, she is a woman who wants to know everything going on in the neighborhood and among all the relatives. Just one button away might be an interesting program on How to Lose Fifty Pounds by Eating Chocolate Sundaes or How to Understand Weird Husbands. But, no, she won't change channels, not even if she dislikes the program she's watching."This talk show host makes me so angry!" she cried one evening."Then why don't you change the channel?" I asked."Because I can't stand people who are always changing channels."Differences. No right or wrong, just differences."The first law of civilization," said an old philosopher, "is to let people be different."I don't need to convert my wife to my ways, and she doesn't try to make me be like her. We simply take turns monitoring the remote control.1. The major difference between the speaker and his wife is their TV viewing habits.2. According to the speaker, he is more interested in talk shows while his wife is more interested in news programs.3. The wife seems to be more weird than the husband is.4. The speaker and his wife usually take turns working the remote control when they watch television.5. It can be inferred that women are generally more tolerant than men of their spouse's differences.6. The speaker and his wife maintain peace not by changing each other but by tolerance.Unit 4Part BText 1Exercise 1: 1. d 2. c 3.aExercise 2:Sam has been a police officer for 30 years. He has done everything from patrol to undercover work. He has also done detective work and now he is supervising investigations.Sam thinks being a police officer is a very stressful job, but it depends onthe assignment one has.

Few people may realize, however, that painting the walls, knitting bedspreads or sewing pillows can help relieve the life pressures we all experience.Studies indicate that engaging in creative endeavors such as sewing and crafting can lower one's risk of stroke, kidney damage and heart disease.These calming, repetitive activities relax the mind and can lower bloodpressure. Sharing such activities can also be a way to spend time with loved ones, which increases our sense of belonging and further reduces stress.People have always turned to working with their hands in times of stress. Handicraft works, with their symbols of hope, have a far greater impact when created by groups.Keep in mind the following tips to increase the stress-relieving benefits of your craft projects:1. Work with materials that stimulate the senses; work in a comfortable area without distractions; play your favorite music.2.(4处答案framing) Make a family project of selecting your favorite photos, and frame them so they can be enjoyed every day. In stressful times, the photos can lift your spirits as you recall happy moments.3. If your schedule is hectic, choose a practical project that will make the most of crafting time. If a simple kitchen curtain needs to be replaced, start there.Change sometimes compels us to see things in new ways.Unit 5Part BText 1Exercise 1: 1. D 2. DExercise 2: 1.

What's wrong?Jenny: Well, Roger, I've got a problem.Roger: What is it?Jenny: You know my daughter Jane is 16 years old now. And we've begun talking about college. She says she wants to go, but she's let her grades slip and no matter how I urge her to study, all she seems interested in are clothes and boys. We're not wealthy, you know. And it won't be easy for us to afford the tuition if she can't get a scholarship. Is going to college the best choice for her right now?Roger: Do you mean that she doesn't seem ready for college?Jenny: You're right.Roger: Then you'd better have a serious talk with Jane about college. Jenny: A serious talk with her?Roger: Yes, to my mind it's quite normal for girls her age to be wrapped up in fashion and dating, but as a mother you have a right to expect her to pay attention to her studies too.Jenny: Yes, but how?Roger: Ask her how serious she is about college and how hard she's willing towork for it. Jane may be more committed than you realize. But if not, tell her she should think about putting college off for a while. That could give her the push she needs to take her education seriously.Jenny: Sounds like a good idea.Roger: 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. Unit 6Part BText 1Exercise 1: 1. D 2. CExercise 2:Leaves are Nature's food factories. Plants take water from the ground through their roots and carbon dioxide from the air. Then leaves turn water and carbon dioxide into sugar in the presence of sunlight and chlorophyll. This process is called photosynthesis. Leaves are mostly green because chlorophyll is green. As a matter of fact, there are, in leaves, small amounts of yellow and orange all along, but they are covered up by the green chlorophyll in summer. They show up in fall as chlorophyll disappears from the leaves, due to the decline of photosynthesis. The bright reds and purples we see in leaves of trees like maples are made mostly in fall. The brown color of trees like oaks is made from wastes left in the leaves.Text 2Exercise 1: 1. C 2. BExercise 2:1. They are leaf pigments, length of night, and weather.2. It is the steadily increasing length of night.3. They change their colors at the same time no matter whether they are on a high mountain or in warm lowlands because the timing of color change seems to be genetically inherited.4. It is because their needle-like or scale-like foliage is covered with a heavy wax coating and the liquid inside their cells contains cold-resistant elements.5. In the Arctic because the winter there is too cold.Part CExercise: 1.

(第3、4空答案mystery仅供参考，his colleagues wondered)Despite their hopes, fieldwork in Florida and along the Gulf Coast discovered no large groups of wintering monarchs. Then in late 1972, his wife Norah wrote to newspapers in Mexico about the project, asking for volunteers to report sightings of the butterfly and help with tagging.Finally, in response came a letter, dated February 26, 1973, from a man called Kenneth Brugger in Mexico City, who offered to help find the butterfly hideaway.Traveling in his motor home, Brugger drove back and forth across the Mexican countryside, looking for clues. He was especially watchful at dusk, when the butterflies would be moving about looking for a place to sleep.At last, one day was successful. On the evening of January 9, 1975, Brugger called from Mexico. "I have found them -- millions of monarchs -- in evergreens beside a mountain clearing," he said, unable to control the excitement in his voice.High in a range of volcanic mountains that crosses central Mexico, he came upon hundreds of evergreen trees, each entirely hidden by sleeping butterflies. Some of the insects wore tags that Mr. Urquhart and his helpers had put on them in Canada and the northern United States. The mystery was solved! The monarchs' winter home is well suited to their needs. Throughout the winter the temperature stays near freezing. It is not cold enough to kill the visiting insects, but it is chilly enough to keep them from moving about. The butterflies survive on the stored fat from their summer foods.In spring the butterflies awaken and fly north again. Tagged butterflies, which were marked in Mexico, have been found in the United States.So one mystery is solved. But another remains. How do the butterflies find their way? Those that migrate south in the fall were born sometimeduring the summer or early fall. They have never been to Mexico. Yet they somehow seek out the same resting places. The mystery of how they find their way is left for future scientists to solve.Unit 7Part BText 1Exercise 1: 1. B 2. CExercise 2: 1. F 2. T 3. F 4. F 5. T 6. T 7. FText 2Exercise 1: 1. D 2.

Sometimes there were naked people and sometimes there were photos of dead people from funerals. But what came to her eyes that morning was the scariest she had ever seen. In the photographs was a young man in black gloves and belt and pants, with a white T-shirt saying Natural Selection. He was seen either vigorously waving pipe bombs in the air or holding a shotgun. In the background of the photographs Kelly could see pipe bombs with nails taped all around them so they would hurt people when the bombs went off.Photo clerks at her shop are told to report possible suspects of various crimes to authorities. Sometimes, however, there is no clear direction on what should be reported. But the photos of the young man left no doubt in Kelly's mind.Kelly turned to her boss and said, "I'm going to call the police." But the manager hesitated, for he was afraid that this might bring trouble to him and his business. So she consulted her father, a veteran police officer, who told her to dial 911 at once.Officers were waiting when the customer came to pick up the photos. Kelly's decisive action may have prevented mass murder, according to the authorities. The 19-year-old student in the photographs had taken the pictures as a final step in a two-year-long plot to blow up and gun downcrowds of students at his college. He was charged with weapons possession with intent to injure and was put in prison.Unit 8Part BText 1Exercise 1: 1. B 2. A 3. DExercise 2: 1. T 2. F 3. T 4. F 5. FText 2Exercise 1: 1. D 2.

In the large majority of right-handers, about 98 or 99 percent, speech is controlled by the left side of the brain.The right side of the brain, however, is usually used for recognizing and remembering faces and understanding relationships in space. In left-handers, it is difficult to know exactly their patterns of brain organization. About 65 to 70 percent of left-handers have speech controlled by the left side of the brain, which is also true of right-handers. But in 30 to 35 percent of left-handersspeech is controlled by the right side of the brain. In some left-handers, both sides of the brain are capable of controlling speech.Unit 9Part BText 1Exercise 1:1. In Mr. Andrew Song's office2. Boss and secretary.3.

I mean to know what you want from a negotiation, what your aims and objectives are. Without clear aims, you can't have clear thinking, so aims are vital. What do you want? A contract?A firm agreement? Or just to find out a few things?Then, you have to know what's the minimum deal. Decide what is the lowest offer you can accept for a deal.Then you have to know where you can give way, or make concessions. Sofixing concessions and targets is important. Without that you end up agreeing to something and later you think "Oh no, that's a bad deal!" Or you miss out on what seemed a bad deal at the time but was in fact okay, not bad anyway.Another area is to know your strengths and your weaknesses. This is as important as being aware of the opportunities and threats -- or dangers -- that exist outside, from competitors for example. So, know the market, know your strengths, and know about prices and other possibilities. If you do this, you can see the negotiation in its proper context. Then you need to prepare all supporting information. Figures, numbers, pictures, whatever. It could be anything, but the most important thing is that you can support what you say. It helps you to be clear.Next, the team has to be well prepared, well managed. If it's a team you have, everyone needs a clear role, clear responsibilities.Finally, your opening remarks. Prepare what to say. Begin in general terms what you hope to achieve -- the general intention, what you're looking for. (答案hopes to achieve)The opening statement sets up the right atmosphere, the right expectations, it helps things to be clear between the two sides.Unit 10Part BText 1Exercise 1: 1. B 2. C 3.

The lawyer asked her if she would like to play a fungame with him.(3答案He asked her a question ,she did so)（4答案No）The blonde, tired, just wanted to take a nap. She politely declined and rolled over to the window to catch a few winks. The lawyer persisted and explained that the game was easy and a lot of fun. He explained, "I'll ask you a question, and if you don't know the answer, you pay me $5, and vice versa." Again, she declined and tried to get some sleep. The lawyer, now anxious and nervous, said, "OK, if you don't know the answer you pay me $5, and if I don't know the answer, I'll pay you $500."(5答案he paid her $500,she paid $5) This caught the blonde's attention and as she figured there would be no end to this torment unless she played, she agreed to the game.The lawyer asked the first question. "What's the distance from the earth to the moon?" Without saying a word, the blonde reached into her purse, pulled out a $5 bill and handed it to the lawyer."OK," said the lawyer, "your turn." She asked the lawyer, "What goes up a hill with three legs and comes down with four legs?"The lawyer, puzzled, took out his laptop computer and searched all his references, no answer. He searched the Internet and the Library of Congress, still no answer. Frustrated, he sent e-mails to all his friends and co-workers, to no avail. After an hour, he woke up the blonde, and handed her $500. "Thank you," the blonde said and turned back to get some more sleep.The lawyer, who was a bit angry, woke her up again and asked, "Well, what's the answer?"Without a word, the blonde reached into her purse, handed the lawyer $5, and went back to sleep.

Life was good. She had a multimillion-dollar mansion in Los Angeles, a 25-acre ranch in Hailey, Idaho. Nothing about that glamorous life had anything in common with her poor childhood.She grew up in New Mexico. Her parents were hard drinkers who movedher and her half-brother 30 times before settling in Los Angeles when she was 14. Fiercely ambitious, Moore began modeling while at high school and dropped out at 16 to pursue an acting career. Soon after she turned 18, she got a part in a popular soap opera. But her big break came in 1985 when she starred as a drug addict in a hit movie.Moore met Bruce Wilis in 1987. It was love at first sight. They got married in Las Vegas four months later. The next year, Wilis starred in Die Hard, making him one of Hollywood's top-paid actors, while Moore's success in Ghost and A Few Good Men boosted her paycheck to more than $12 million per movie.(In the 1990s答案未知)These were followed by three big-budget movies, one of which was The Scarlet Letter. Then her career stalled. And in October 2000, her 13-year-old marriage ended in divorce. Later she moved out of Hollywood. Since then, she has been living a simpler life, residing full time in her ranch in Idaho. Her ambition is now focused not on stardom but on being a good mother to her daughters with Wilis.

For example, is there a burglar-proof door to yourapartment?Yes, there is. Having a burglar-proof door is a common way to prevent burglaries. People always feel dangerous in this high crime rate society, so almost everyone s apartment has a burg 'lar-proof door.Lock our doors even when we are going out just for a few minutes, because we need to keep alert all the time. Burglar alarm system is also a good way to prevent burglaries. If a thief enters your house, this system would call the police and your possession will be in a safe condition.2. In our contact with the outside world, what precautions do we take to steer clear of danger? For example, do you speak to strangers?Yes, but I seldom speak to strangers because when I was young, my parents always told me not to speak to strangers for they maybe have an evil thought on you.When we 're surfing on the Internet or chatting online, we shouldn't tell strangers our personal information, especially our bank account number and password.If we plan to travel on holidays, we 'd better not go to an unfamiliar place alone.

If they feel lonely or miss their children, they can talk to their pets. Although animals cannot talk to us, they do can share our happiness and sorrow for they have emotion, too.Older people can learn how to surfing on the Internet and chatting with others so that they can see their children and talk to them on the computer if both of them have a web camera and a microphone.Older people need to take part in some activities which can widen and intensify their relations.They also could do regular exercise such as jogging and playing badminton, etc. To the older people, stay healthy is the most important.4.

Solving the unemployment problem needs the effort of the whole society, including our government; the unemployed people themselves and all those who are ready to offer their help.Our government should take some necessary measures to create more opportunities of employment for these people. Unit 4Topics for Discussion1. What should I thank my parent(s) / teacher(s) / friend(s) for? If you havewhat have you done? If you haven ' t, what do you plan to do?I should thank my parents for bring me this world, giving melife and educated me.I should thank my parents for brought me up from a child who doesn ' t who will build his own career.I should thank my parents for giving me the chance to experience the richness of the world.I should thank my teachers for giving me the knowledge and improve our ability.I should thank my teachers for teaching me the principle of life such as honesty, responsibility,tolerance and never give up.I should thank my friends for giving me the courage to overcome difficulties when I am in a tough time and my mood fall down to the bottom.I should thank my friends for bringing me tears and happiness during my growth, lighten the darkness in my life. To my parents, what I have done at this moment is that to care for them by giving them a call every week. I also should work hard, have a regular exercise and build a strong body. In the future, if I work in another place andhave, t know anything to a mcannot live with them, I plan to back home regularly and spend more time to keep them company.To my teachers, what I have done is that sending greeting cards at Spring Festival and sending them greeting messages at Teacher'sday. I plan to write letters to them in my free time.To my friends, what I have done is that keeping in touch with them and sending them a greeting message or a gift at their birthday. I think our friendship will last not because the money or the benefits but the time we spendtogether and the precious memory in our mind.2. Are holidays a good time to express gratitude? Which holidays are the most appropriate?Yes, holidays are a very good time to express gratitude.If I want to express gratitude to my parents, Mother 'dsay and Father 'dsay are the most appropriate. If I want to thank my teachers, I think Teacher d'aysis the most appropriate. If I want to show my gratitude to my lover in the future, the Valentines ' dayis the most appropriate. But if I miss all of these holidays to express gratitude to them, I think the Spring Festival is also a good time to show my thanks.3. Do you think it is necessary for the Chinese to celebrate Western festivals?No, I don'tthink so for it is not necessary. But I don'mt ean that we cannot celebrate these Western festivals. I don't hink it 'nsecessary to find a definite answer to whether we Chinese should celebrate the foreign festivals or not. We ought to respect others 'decision instead of interference in their choices. It 's not a bad thing for the people to take advantage of the westernfestivals, entertaining themselves, getting together and exchanging greetings.But as we all know that we have a lot of traditional festivals are now forgotten by some people of our generation.They have lost their interest in our traditional festivals such as Tomb-sweeping day, Dragon-boat festival, Double Ninth Festival, etc. In general, the Chinese young men almost don' tknow the profound implications of ourtraditional Chinese festivals. Instead they are familiar with the western festivals and go after them like a flock of ducks. Obviously, this is a situation that we do not want to see.I think i t is right to lay emphasis on our traditional festivalsbut it 's not proper to reject theones on this account. In fact, western festivals like Valentine 'Dasy, Mother 's Day and Father 's Day, which have taken root in our country and becoming popular festivals among our people.They are a good time to express our gratitude to our relatives.All in all, it 'nastural for the Chinese people, especially our young people, to take part in the western festival activities, relaxing and relieving themselves. I think if you are interested in the celebration of the western festivals, just join it and enjoy yourself. If you are not interested in it, you can ignore them but don 't complain and make criticism.4. It is sometimes claimed that many festivals have been created just to encourage people to spend money. Do you agree?No, I don 't agwreiteh that.It is common knowledge that every nation has its own special festivals with colorful backgrounds,which are closely connected with its special history or excellent culture. So festivals are the products of thesedimentary accretion of a nation 's culture over thousands of years. Some peop think so, as you just said, is probably because people often spend much money during a festival. Well, I think people spend more money during a festival than at normal times is reasonable because it needs money to buy different things to celebrate a festival. To the businessmen, festivals are a good time to increase income. To the consumers, they also are willing to pay at this special time. The view that festivals only have been created to encourage people to spend money is too simple and too narrow. I think people spend more money during a festival is a win-win situation to the whole society.Unit 5Topics for Discussion1. Is it enough to help only those people we know?Well, I think that depends.The pre-requisite of helping others is that you are a man who can offer help. The most important thing to measure it 's enough or not is that your personaIlfayboiulitya.re a man who needs help, there is no need for us to talk about this issue. If you are a merchant who has a high income, I think it 's not enough to help only those people you know. If you are a student who has no income and needs parents ' money to live, I think it ' s enough to help those people you know. Using onsentence to conclude my idea is that ith g reat po‘we w r, comes great responsibility '.2. What is the relationship between one ' s attitude to life and one ' s fate? Does thformer determine the latter or is it the other way round?Well, I think our life is truly in the hands of fate from the day we are born because we cannot choose our parents and it has no relationship with our attitude to life. But when we are born to the world, we get the chance to choose the attitude to life which will partly determines our latter life. As time goes by, the attitude you choose will show an impact on your life and your fate will be changed to some degree. But your attitude to life is only one cause to your fate, not the direct cause.Yes, to a large extend, I think the former determines the latter. Because what you did in the former has a direct impact on your latter just like if I keep doing exercise for one hour, of course, I will have a strong body one or two years later. But if I am a good student in the university, does that mean I will have a high paidjob in the future? I think it also related to your personal fate.3. Do you think success is due more to luck and opportunity or to diligence? Why?In my opinion, luck, opportunity and diligence are all important to success, but success is due more to one's diligence.Generally speaking, there are plenty of opportunities for everyone in our society, but only those who are prepared adequately and diligent can make use of them to achieve their purpose. Opportunities only come to the well-prepared person who bears perseverance and perspiration and it can be created by diligent people. Diligence is the fundamental pre-condition, which can change opportunity into success. Diligence is the first key factor to success, that is, to be diligent means to work with full energy and think with full effort. To be diligent means to practice with complete dedication and constant searching for a better method. Diligence helps us removeignorance, overcome difficulties, and enlighten our minds. There is no doubt that if you want to achieve something or intend to fulfill one of your ambitions, you must work hard, make efforts and get prepared.

In my parents' words, the difference between their childhood and mine is as vast as that between heaven and earth.When my parents were young, there was no TV, no computers nor any other electronic appliances in their home. Their food was simple and their clothing plain. What is unbelievable to young people today is that they seldom dined out in a restaurant, or traveled to a scenic spot for a holiday.In contrast to family life one generation ago, each family inChina today has at least one TV set and many have been equipped with telephones, computers, even cars. While the senior members of a family watch films on TV at home, the younger members like to play computer games or talk to their friends who may live thousands of miles from them.The changes in Chinese family life mirror the economic development of our country. Without the prosperity of the whole country, our family life would probably be just the same as before. Times have changed, and changed, most would surely agree with me, for the better.Unit Two Civil Rights HeroesPart II Text A THE FREEDOM GIVERSText OrganizationOne Paras 1-5It is high time to honor the heroes who helped liberate slaves by forging the Underground Railroad in the early civil-rights struggles in America.Part Two Paras 6-23By citing examples the author praises the exploits of civil-rights heroes who helped slaves travel the Un-derground Railroad to freedom.2.

In this contextPart IV Theme-Related Language Learning TasksModel paperThe Civil-Rights Movement in the U.S.Black Africans were first brought as slaves to what was to become the United States in the seventeenth century. Slavery was strongest in the South, where large plantations grew cotton, tobacco, and other crops. Towards the end of the eighteenth century, a growing demand for cotton led to an increase in the demand for slaves in the region. Slavery was less profitable in the North, however, and much of the opposition to slavery came from the northern states. The tension between the North and the South over the issue of slavery led to the Civil War in 1861.With the victory of the North, slavery was abolished. Discrimination, however, did not end. Black Americans were treated as second class citizens, especially in the South. Dissatisfaction with unfair treatment eventually led to the civil rights protests of the 1950s and 1960s that brought about government action aimed at reducing discrimination.As a result, African Americans have come a long way in the last fifty years, but they still find themselves at a disadvantage in comparison with Americans of European descent. Only 17 per cent of the black population are able to finish higher education, in contrast to 28 per cent of whites. Incomes for the average white family were just over $44,000 in 1999. For an average black family, however, the figure was in the region of $25,000. Not one of the chief executive officers of the top 500 companies is black.Anyway, the civil-rights movement in the U.S. still has a longway to go.Unit Three SecurityText A THE LAND OF THE LOCKText Organization1. 1) Doors are not left unlocked either in cities or in rural areas.

TranslationA burglary is reported every 15 seconds in the United States. Statistics show burglars en-tered morethan 2 million homes last year. Actually it is almost impossible to keep a determined burglar out. Allyou can do is discourage him for a few minutes, thus exposing him to police patrols or those wandering around. Common sense tells us that lighting is a barrier to criminal activity.A light should be fixedin the doorway and switched on at night. Believe it or not, some people, particularly children who happento be the last to come in, leave their doors on the latch at night. Doors of hollow core, even when locked,are vulnerable to break-ins. Thus doors of solid core or steel are much preferred as they make it difficultfor the burglar to pry open. If you decide to buy an alarm device, be sure to ask for its signs and putthem up on both windows and doors.

Unit 4Topics for Discussion1. What should I thank my parent(s) / teacher(s) / friend(s) for? If you havewhat have you done? If you haven ' t, what do you plan to do?I should thank my parents for bring me this world, giving me life and educated me.I should thank my parents for brought me up from a child who doesn ' t who will build his own career.I should thank my parents for giving me the chance to experience the richness of the world.I should thank my teachers for giving me the knowledge and improve our ability.I should thank my teachers for teaching me the principle of life such as honesty, responsibility,tolerance and never give up.I should thank my friends for giving me the courage to overcome difficulties when I am in a tough time and my mood fall down to the bottom.I should thank my friends for bringing me tears and happiness during my growth, lighten the darkness in my life.

I plan to write letters to them in my free time.To my friends, what I have done is that keeping in touch with them and sending them a greeting message or a gift at their birthday. I think our friendship will last not because the money or the benefits but the time we spendtogether and the precious memory in our mind.2. Are holidays a good time to express gratitude? Which holidays are the most appropriate?Yes, holidays are a very good time to express gratitude.If I want to express gratitude to my parents, Mother 'dsay and Father 'dsay are the most appropriate. If I want to thank my teachers, I think Teacher d'aysis the most appropriate. If I want to show my gratitude to my lover in the future, the Valentines ' dayis the most appropriate. But if I miss all of these holidays to express gratitude to them, I think the Spring Festival is also a good time to show my thanks.3. Do you think it is necessary for the Chinese to celebrate Western festivals?No, I don'tthink so for it is not necessary. But I don'mt ean that we cannot celebrate these Western festivals. I don't hink it 'nsecessary to find a definite answer to whether we Chinese should celebrate the foreign festivals or not. We ought to respect others 'decision instead of interference in their choices. It 's not a bad thing for the people to take advantage of the westernfestivals, entertaining themselves, getting together and exchanging greetings.But as we all know that we have a lot of traditional festivals are now forgotten by some people of our generation.They have lost their interest in our traditional festivals such as Tomb-sweeping day, Dragon-boat festival, Double Ninth Festival, etc. In general, the Chinese young men almost don' tknow the profound implications of ourtraditional Chinese festivals. Instead they are familiar with the western festivals and go after them like a flock of ducks. Obviously, this is a situation that we do not want to see.I think i t is right to lay emphasis on our traditional festivals but it 's not proper to reject theones on this account. In fact, western festivals like Valentine 'Dasy, Mother 's Day and Father 's Day, which have taken root in our country and becoming popular festivals among our people.They are a good time to express our gratitude to our relatives.All in all, it 'nastural for the Chinese people, especially our young people, to take part in the western festival activities, relaxing and relieving themselves. I think if you are interested in the celebration of the western festivals, just join it and enjoy yourself. If you are not interested in it, you can ignore them but don 't complain and make criticism.4. It is sometimes claimed that many festivals have been created just to encourage people to spend money. Do youagree?No, I don 't agwreiteh that.It is common knowledge that every nation has its own special festivals with colorful backgrounds,which are closely connected with its special history or excellent culture. So festivals are the products of thesedimentary accretion of a nation 's culture over thousands of years. Some peop think so, as you just said, is probably because people often spend much money during a festival. Well, I think people spend more money during a festival than at normal times is reasonable because it needs money to buy different things to celebrate a festival. To the businessmen, festivals are a good time to increase income. To the consumers, they also are willing to pay at this special time. The view that festivals only have been created to encourage people to spend money is too simple and too narrow. I think people spend more money during a festival is a win-win situation to the whole society.Unit 5Topics for Discussion1. Is it enough to help only those people we know?Well, I think that depends.The pre-requisite of helping others is that you are a man who can offer help. The most important thing to measure it 's enough or not is that your personaIlfayboiulitya.re a man who needs help,there is no need for us to talk about this issue. If you are a merchant who has a high income, I think it 's not enough to help only those people you know. If you are a student who has no income and needs parents ' money to live, I think it ' s enough to help those people you know. Using onsentence to conclude my idea is that ith great po‘we w r, comes great responsibility '.2. What is the relationship between one ' s attitude to life and one ' s fate? Does thformer determine the latter or is it the other way round?Well, I think our life is truly in the hands of fate from the day we are born because we cannot choose our parents and it has no relationship with our attitude to life. But when we are born to the world, we get the chance to choose the attitude to life which will partly determines our latter life. As time goes by, the attitude you choose will show an impact on your life and your fate will be changed to some degree. But your attitude to life is only one cause to your fate, not the direct cause.Yes, to a large extend, I think the former determines the latter. Because what you did in the former has a direct impact on your latter just like if I keep doing exercise for one hour, of course, I will have a strong body one or two years later. But if I am a good student in the university, does that mean I will have a high paid job in the future? I think it also related to your personal fate.3. Do you think success is due more to luck and opportunity or to diligence? Why?In my opinion, luck, opportunity and diligence are all important to success, but success is due more to one's diligence.Generally speaking, there are plenty of opportunities for everyone in our society, but only those who are prepared adequately and diligent can make use of them to achieve their purpose. Opportunities only come to the well-prepared person who bears perseverance and perspiration and it can be created by diligent people. Diligence is the fundamental pre-condition, which can change opportunity into success. Diligence is the first key factor to success, that is, to be diligent means to work with full energy and think with full effort. To be diligent means to practice with complete dedication and constant searching for a better method. Diligence helps us removeignorance, overcome difficulties, and enlighten our minds. There is no doubt that if you want to achieve something or intend to fulfill one of your ambitions, you must work hard, make efforts and get prepared. Otherwise, you will take no advantage of opportunities when they come to visit you.。
