Unit 8 绝妙的工具辛西娅·格雷巴如果没有望远镜，伽利略会有什么发现？如果没有杠杆，阿基米德能有什么成就？拥有合适的工具至关重要。
有时候，它们会在意想不到的领域被发现。
有时候，它们则就在你的眼皮底下。
1.你是否有过需要从高架子上取东西的经历？如果没有梯子，你或许会使用一把椅子。
当然（正如母亲曾告诉过你的）椅子是用来坐的，但是其平坦而高起的座位也很适合站在上面，这样你就够得着书架了。
2.科学家们有时候面临同样的问题，在回答或解决问题时没有合适的工具。
有时候，他们发明新的工具；有时候，他们则对已有的工具进行改造，以适应新的用途。
3.为了证明闪电其实就是电流，本·富兰克林在风筝上拴了一把钥匙，然后放飞到暴风雨中。
他的实验工具是由一个玩具和他家前门的一把钥匙制成的。
但是他从另一个角度看到：风筝可以把一根线带到暴风雨中，钥匙则是小小的导电体，上面还有一个洞，可以很方便地拴到风筝上。
一件新工具就这样诞生了!4.看一看其他领域的科学家如何使用他们绝妙的工具给人启示，一个问题可以从新的角度去看待。
展现历史5.在西班牙境内的罗马古城伊埃索遗址工作的考古学家在靠近城墙的底层发现了一个由黏土制成的酒坛（称为“双耳细颈椭圆土罐”）。
他们认为，建造这座城市的罗马人很可能也把葡萄酒从罗马带了过来。
6.只要科学家们能发现酒坛的年代，也就能推算出这座城市的历史。
当时的酿酒人往往会在酒坛上刻上酿酒当年的罗马执政官的名字。
同时，我们也掌握着每一对罗马执政官执政时间的可靠记录。
7.在这只酒坛的颈部有几个模糊不清的颜料印记，科学家们只辨认出了第一个名字的首字母Q.FAB，于是他们想到了“昆特斯·费比斯”这个名字，但是有两位在不同年代统治罗马的执政官都叫这个名字，因此，科学家需要找到与Q.FAB共同统治的另一位执行官的名字来确定这座城市的年代。
由于时代久远，再加上日晒雨淋，颜料已经剥落，第二个名字完全消失了。

Book IV Unit 8 In the Jungle在丛林中Annie Dillard1 Like any out-of-the-way place, the Napo River in the Ecuadorian jungle seems real enough when you are there, even central. Out of the way of what? I was sitting on a stump at the edge of a bankside palm-thatch village, in the middle of the night, on the headwaters of the Amazon. Out of the way of human life, tenderness, or the glance of heaven?如同所有僻远之地，当你身临其境时，厄瓜多尔丛林深处的纳波河就显得那么真实，甚至有中心要地的感觉。
那么僻远之地远离什么呢？夜半时分，在亚马逊河的源头，我坐在一个树墩上，身后是傍水的棕榈叶作屋顶的小村落。
远离人类活动，远离脉脉温情。
或者说远离天堂的扫视？2 A nightjar in deep-leaved shadow called three long notes, and hushed. The men with me talked softly: three North Americans, four Ecuadorians who were showing us the jungle. We were holding cool drinks and idly watching a hand-sized tarantula seize moths that came to the lone bulb on the generator shed beside us.一只欧夜鹰在密密的树叶间发出三声长啼，旋即静默无声。

In today's fast-paced and interconnected world, the ability to communicate effectively is more important than ever. This essay will explore the significance of effective communication and provide practical tips for achieving it in the workplace.One of the key benefits of effective communication in the workplace is improved teamwork. When individuals can express their thoughts, ideas, and concerns clearly to their colleagues, it fosters collaboration and cooperation. This, in turn, leads to increased productivity and better outcomes for the organization as a whole. By encouraging open and transparent communication channels, companies can create a positive work environment that encourages employees to contribute their best.Additionally, effective communication helps prevent misunderstandings and conflicts. When communication is clear, concise, and accurate, there is less room for misinterpretation or confusion. This reduces the likelihood of conflicts arising due to miscommunication and ensures that everyone is on the same page. Moreover, clear communication avoids unnecessary delays and rework, ultimately saving time and resources for the organization.Another benefit of effective communication is its role in building strong relationships with customers and clients. Clear and responsive communication gives customers confidence in the organization's ability to meet their needs and address their concerns. It fosters trust and loyalty, leading to long-term partnerships and increased customer satisfaction. In today's competitive business landscape, effective communication can be a powerful differentiator for companies seeking to succeed.To achieve effective communication in the workplace, several strategies can be employed. First and foremost, active listening is crucial. Encouraging employees to listen attentively and empathetically to their colleagues promotes understanding and prevents misunderstandings. Additionally,using clear and concise language, both in spoken and written communication, ensures that messages are conveyed accurately and efficiently.Furthermore, fostering an inclusive environment where diverse opinions are valued and respected encourages open and honest communication. When employees feel safe to share their thoughts and ideas, it leads to a more creative and innovative work culture. Regular communication training and workshops can also be implemented to enhance employees' communication skills and provide them with tools and techniques to communicate effectively.In conclusion, effective communication is vital in the workplace for fostering teamwork, preventing conflicts, and building strong relationships with customers. By prioritizing clear and open communication, organizations can create a positive work environment that promotes productivity and success. By implementing strategies such as active listening, clear language usage, and inclusive communication practices, companies can ensure that their employees communicate effectively and contribute to their fullest potential.。

It is essential to strike a balance between utilizing technology for language learning purposes and engaging in traditional language development activities.In conclusion, language development is crucial for effective communication, cognitive development, and academic success. While technology offers countless opportunities for language learning, it also presents challenges in maintaining interpersonal communication skills. As individuals, we must actively seek ways to develop and enhance our language skills in order to thrive in an increasingly globalized world.(Note: This article is a sample answer and can be expanded with more detailed examples and supporting information.)。

大学英语通识教程第二册 Unit 8 参考译文
【第八单元·课文A参考译文】美国与“玩乐”的一代在美国开国之初，一场无声的战争一触即发—关于什么词能代表这个国家的精髓。
现在可以宣布胜出的词语是：“成就”和“玩乐”。
从1810年到2000年，根据美国历史英语语料库中对107000个报纸、杂志、小说、戏剧和电影脚本的搜索，“成就”一词在美国书面英语中的频率增长了11倍。
同时，“玩乐”的使用频率增加了8倍以上。
同时，其他两个词却遭到了相反的命运。
谈到“成就”一词腾飞了两个世纪，而“优秀”一词却不受青睐，使用频率下降了11倍。
受到“玩乐”一词的影响，“快乐”一词被提到的次数下降了4倍。
在语言的历史中，文字的兴旺与衰败。
我们可以制造和改造他们，同样他们也可以制造和改造我们。
一个单词的故事就像飓风一样复杂。
我们很难确定它是如何被应用来满足新的需求的。
把一个单词的使用频率的下降归咎于另一个单词使用频率的上升是不可能的。
但是这两组词的命运却是对美国文化转变的建议，并且其中一个也影响了世界。
美国文化不再以高贵的视角去看事物的内在价值：不再追求讲究内在心理状况的快乐，而是要与外部活动密切相关的玩乐；不追求优秀这种内在品质，而是要通过劳作与认同实现的成就。
根据《韦氏词典》：“快乐”是“一种满足的状态”，“玩乐”是“以娱乐为目的的行为，具体来讲，是一种热闹的行为或活动”，“优秀”是“一种品质”，而这又意味着“非常好，突出的好。
”而“成就”指“通过努力获得的结果。
”从快乐到有趣在美国的使用转变可以追溯到美国英语语料库中。
在1812年白约翰布莱克所写的话剧中这样写到，“要财富干什么，如果不去买乐子？要健康干什么，当快乐举杯向我们祝酒，我们却不去品尝？”到2009年，小说家鲈凯悦描述的更为典型：“来吧。
难道你不认为发售一瓶葡萄酒和订婚发生在同一月份，很有趣吗？”“快乐”带有一丝崇高；它表示一种自然产生的心理状态，无需人为的引发。
“玩乐”在当代虽然几乎与“快乐”同义，但往往涉及人为的诱导。

It made me think about all the things I am thankful for in my own life.One of the things that stood out to me the most in this unit was the importance of respecting and understanding different cultures. I think it's so cool that we can learn from each other andcelebrate our differences. It's what makes the world such a diverse and interesting place.Overall, I had a great time reading through unit eight and I can't wait to learn more about different cultures in the future. I think it's really important to be open-minded and accepting of others, no matter where they come from or what their traditions are. Thanks for listening to my thoughts, guys! Let's keep on learning and growing together.篇6Unit eight is all about environmental protection. It talks about how important it is to take care of our planet and how we can all do our part to keep it clean and healthy.I learned a lot from this unit. I now know that climate change is a big problem and it's happening because of things like pollution and deforestation. We need to stop using so much plastic and start planting more trees to help the environment.One thing that really stood out to me was the story about the sea turtles. It made me sad to think that these beautiful creatures are in danger because of all the plastic in the ocean. It made me realize that even small things like using a reusable water bottle instead of a plastic one can make a big difference.I also learned about the three R's: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. These are simple ways that we can all help the environment. We can reduce our waste by using less plastic, reuse things like shopping bags and old clothes, and recycle items like paper and cans.Overall, this unit has taught me that we all need to do our part to protect the planet. We need to be more mindful of our actions and make choices that will help, not harm, the environment. I am going to do my best to reduce my carbon footprint and make a positive impact on the world.篇7Title: My Thoughts on Unit 8 of New College English Fourth EditionHey guys, today I want to talk to you about Unit 8 of our English textbook. It's all about technology and how it's changing our lives. I found it super interesting and I want to share my thoughts with you.First of all, I learned a lot of new words and phrases in this unit. Like "digital divide" and "virtual reality". It was cool to learn how technology is shaping the world and how important it is to keep up with the latest trends. I also enjoyed the readingpassages about robots and artificial intelligence. It's amazing to think about how advanced technology has become!One thing that stuck with me was the debate on whether technology is helping or harming society. On one hand, it's great that we can connect with people from all over the world and find information easily. But on the other hand, we need to be careful about privacy and how much time we spend on our devices. It's a tricky balance, but I think as long as we use technology responsibly, we can enjoy its benefits.Overall, I really enjoyed studying Unit 8 and learning more about technology. It made me think about how lucky we are to have access to all these amazing tools and gadgets. I can't wait to see what the future holds in terms of technology!That's all for now, thanks for listening to my thoughts. See you next time!篇8As a little primary school student, reading the eighth unit of College English Book Four is super cool! This unit is all about culture shock, and I learned so much about how people from different countries have different customs and ways of thinking.I really enjoyed reading the stories about people experiencing culture shock when they visit a foreign country. It's so interesting to see how someone can feel confused or even upset when things are done differently. But at the same time, it's amazing to see how people can adapt and learn to appreciate new ways of doing things.One thing I found really helpful in this unit was learning about strategies for coping with culture shock. Like, if I ever visit a different country when I grow up, I'll definitely remember to keep an open mind and try to understand why things are done a certain way. I think that's the key to not feeling too overwhelmed by new experiences.Overall, reading this unit has made me more curious about other cultures and more appreciative of the differences that make us unique. It's like going on a fun adventure without even leaving my classroom! I can't wait to keep learning and exploring more about the world around me. Yay for College English Book Four!篇9Today, I want to talk about the eighth unit of our English book, "University English Fourth Edition". This unit is all aboutfriendship, family, and relationships. I really enjoyed reading all the stories and articles in this unit because they are so relatable and interesting.One of the stories that I liked the most was about a group of friends who went on a camping trip together. It reminded me of the fun times I have had with my friends when we go on trips or just hang out together. It made me realize how important it is to have good friends in your life and how they can support you and make you happy.Another story that touched me was about a girl who had a complicated relationship with her family. It made me think about my own family and how lucky I am to have them in my life. Family is so important and we should always cherish and appreciate them, even if we have disagreements sometimes.The articles in this unit were also very informative and gave me a lot of new ideas and perspectives on friendship and relationships. I learned that communication is key in any relationship and that we should always be honest and open with our friends and family.Overall, I really enjoyed reading the eighth unit of our English book and I feel like I have learned a lot from it. I will definitely try to apply the lessons I have learned about friendshipand family in my own life. I can't wait to read the next unit and see what new things I will discover!篇10Title: My Thoughts on Unit 8 of College English Fourth EditionHi everyone! Today I want to share my thoughts on Unit 8 of College English Fourth Edition with you all. This unit is all about environmental protection, and it's super important because we need to take care of our planet.First of all, I learned a lot of new words and phrases in this unit, like "carbon footprint" and "sustainable development". It was a bit tricky at first, but my teacher explained everything really well so I could understand. Now I can use these words when I talk about environmental issues with my friends and family.One thing that really surprised me was how much waste we produce every day. I had no idea that so much plastic ends up in the ocean, harming marine life. It made me realize that we all need to reduce, reuse, and recycle as much as possible to protect our environment.I also enjoyed reading the articles and watching the videos about people who are working to make a difference, like Greta Thunberg. She's only a few years older than me, but she's already doing amazing things to raise awareness about climate change. It inspired me to think about how I can help too, even in small ways.In conclusion, Unit 8 of College English Fourth Edition taught me a lot about the importance of environmental protection.

天赋、智力和种族
——特赖布硕士及其他人
尽管在见过或听过天赋时，我们大多数人都能辨识出，但是因为它是一个独特的素质，所以很难量化。
相比之下，智力可能较容易量化，并且像天赋一样，它具备受环境塑造的多基因的特征。
但是，在这种具体的情况下，我们想知道，遗传和环境对智力的塑造之影响分别有多大，因为这一点具有重要的社会和教育的意义。
人类基因学家尝试分解由遗传或环境对相关特征影响的成分，他们开始研究双胞胎。
双胞胎有两种：（i）双受精卵双胞胎，他们除了年龄一样以外，与普通的兄弟姐妹没什么两样；（ii）单受精卵双胞胎，他们总是同性别，通常长得很像，以至于很难分辨。
双受精卵双胞胎起源于有两个精子授精的分开的受精卵，这两个授精时间极其接近。
单受精卵双胞胎起源于同一个受精卵，在早期分裂时，形成两个部分，所以每个部分分别形成一个独立的胚胎，他们在基因方面是完全相同的。
考虑到与人类实验相联系的种族的或其他方面的限制，科学家如何用单卵和双卵双胞胎去决定遗传和环境对人类表现型的作用呢？下面简要给出一些观点，预测这种实验最可能的一些结论。
单卵和双卵双胞胎的许多结构上的、生化或行为方式上的和表现类型等上的特征都可以量化。
人们预期在单卵双胞胎的测量上，许多特征将会有较高的相似度，因为只要他们在相似的环境中长大，他们有着相同的基因类型。
而双卵双胞胎应该不会显出如此强的相似度，因为即使他们在相同的环境中长成，他们有不同的基因型。
为了衡量环境方面不同的影响，科学家们研究的是单卵双胞胎中相同的特征，他们在一出生便分开，然后在不同的社会环境，不同的家庭里面成长。
智力具有数量特征，确有基因成分，但是我们不应该认为它只有一个表现维度。
因为个体基因类型差异很大，所以有从愚钝到聪明的线性标准衡量智力是极为局限的。
任何数量的基因组和都会使个体具有一些倾向性，诸如音乐天赋、绘画天赋、电脑程序设计天赋或者北极生存狩猎天赋等。
这些能力的表达相互之间也许有联系，也许没有。
而且，相同的基因型在极不相同的环境下有极不相同的表现形式。
例如，智商测试分数会因为营养状况、疾病或感染、学历、社会地位、经济状况等方面而极具差异性——甚至监管考试的考官的肤色也会对得分产生很大的影响！同样困难的是应用哪种智力测试。
是学习能力的吗？是学习效率的吗？是测试最终可以习得的知识量吗？是与质疑的头脑和动机相关吗？
结果，在给予一位英国大学生与一位澳大利亚土著居民的智力测试的比较得出的是毫无意义的结果，因为这个测试肯定不可能测量同样的行为。
不仅仅是因为这两位个体的基因属性和环境完全不同，在某些具体的活动中，他们的获得成就的动机也是非常不同的。
实际上，正如一些讨论上述问题的文章所讲的，那些认为他们可以评估关于种族之间基因和环境对智力影响的文章，从统计学的角度讲，是幼稚的。
如果人类中，一些种族或社会群体被证明在智力上相对低级，那么这就开启了一些隔离论者或是政治家制定法律或政策来压制甚至消灭人类中的这些种族或群体的可能。
历史明确证明，当恶势力当权时，这个猜测是非常可能出现的。
你能明白为什么错误的科学结论会在政治上或社会上带来危险吗？。
