EmergencyPart I Pre-reading TaskListen to the recording two or three times and then think over the following questions:1. How did the father understand courage at first?2. What did courage mean to the father after the fire was put out?3. The poet says that firemen fight a war they can never win. What does he mean?4. How does courage as described in the poem relate to the theme of the unit — emergency?The following words in the recording may be new to you:clad(clothe的过去式和过去分词)穿上armorn. 盔甲(文中指防火衣)at stake在危险中lairn. 兽穴talonn. 魔爪Part IITextAt first it seemed as if it might just be an old box or rags ahead of the train. But then they realized just what it was."KIDS ON THE TRACK!"Jack MurphyMonday, May 1, 1989 was a pleasant morning in Ramsey, N.J. Kate Pritchard bent over her car trunk and struggled with the bags of groceries she'd just brought home. She heard the distant cry of a locomotive horn. The trains of Conrail passed less than 300 feet from the Pritchards' house. No fence separated their backyard from the track — only a thick row of trees. But, her sons, 3(1/2)-year-old Todd and 18-month-old Scott, were nearby, playing on the driveway."Stay right there," Kate said, "while Mommy puts the groceries away. Then we'll go inside and have lunch, okay?""Okay!" said Todd, giving a thumbs-up gesture he'd seen his father make."Okay!" echoed Scott, trying to copy his older brother.They watched their mother enter the house with several bags.Kate shut the refrigerator and hurried outside. Good. The boys were playing right where she'd left them.As she lifted more bags from the trunk, Kate heard a train race past — a passenger express, she judged from its speed. She carried more bags into the house.The sounds of the train apparently drew the boys' attention to the track. After making their way through the trees, they climbed to the top of the steep roadbed, knelt down along the railroad and began to play.A few thousand feet west, a freight train rolled slowly toward the children. Overhead lights signaled to engineer Rich Campana that the passenger train ahead was out of the way, and they could resume their normal speed of 40 miles per hour. The engineer adjusted the accelerator, then turned to conductor Anthony Falzo,a man, medium in height and strongly built, who had worked for Conrail for almost half of his 35 years."So what'd you do over the weekend, Anthony?""Oh, not much. Mostly messing around — a little TV, then bed. What else?"Campana smiled. "Hey, you'd better cool down, Anthony —you're getting to be a real party animal!"The two men laughed. They were still laughing as the train began gathering speed, moving at 21 miles per hour.Rich and Anthony spotted something ahead at the same instant."What's that up there?" asked the engineer. Anthony didn't answer. Staring intently, he was trying to identify the curious shape on the track ahead. A box? Old rags?Suddenly both men realized what it was. Rich threw on the emergency brake and pulled on the air-horn handle with all his strength.The horn's blast and Anthony's words exploded at the same time: "Kids on the Track!"Anthony sprang through the cab door onto a narrow running board six feet above the wheels and raced to the front of the swaying train. Climbing quickly down a steel ladder, he paused at the bottom, two feet above the roadbed flashing by.Now he could clearly see the two little children. They were sitting alongside the rail. Anthony waved wildly and shouted, "Get away! Get away!"He mentally calculated the train's deceleration rate and groaned. We'll never stop in time.Absorbed in play, Todd and Scott did not hear the train. Finally, as the sound became thunderous, Scott looked up andfroze.Though the train was slowing, Anthony knew it was still going faster than he could run. So he forced himself to wait until he would be close enough to leap off and grab the boys. With perhaps ten feet left between them and the sharp-edged snowplow blade at the front of the train, Anthony sprang forward from the ladder. Landing on the loose, fist-size stones alongside the track, he had to struggle to keep his balance. In two giant steps he almost reached the children. They stared up at him in wide-eyed shock. Anthony, throwing his body into space, flew toward them.The unending blast of the train horn struck Kate Pritchard like a hammer blow. "The boys! " she cried, and raced out the door. They were gone!The track, she thought. I must get to the track!As his body crashed downward, Anthony covered Todd while reaching out with one arm to grab Scott and pull him clear of the track. But the train had caught up to them. Anthony saw the black steel edge of the snowplow blade hit the young child under the chin, driving his head back and scraping over his face. Instantly, blood flashed across the boy's forehead.Part of the train then punched into the back of Anthony's work jacket, tearing the nylon fabric. Still, Anthony managed to pull Scott completely under him.He's dead, Anthony thought. He felt sick with horror. Burying his face in the stones, he pushed downward on the two boys with all his strength as the train passed inches above them.The first person Kate saw when she reached the halted train was Todd. Her older boy was jumping up and down and crying uncontrollably. But Kate could see he wasn't injured. She grabbedand hugged him. Then she saw the still figure of a man lying under the third car. Scott's head, a mask of darkening blood, was visible under him. Kate ran to them. "Scott!" she screamed.Anthony twisted to face her. "Lady," he said, his voice calm, "go to your house. Call the police and ambulance." Kate, only half hearing him, extended her arms to take her baby. Anthony spoke again, more sharply, "Ma'am, listen! Go to your house and call the police — call an ambulance. Go!"Kate tore back to the house, made the calls, then reached her husband, Gary, via his beeper.When the first police car arrived, Anthony was still holding little Scott. The conductor knew from the child's cries that he was alive, but Scott might have internal injuries that any movement could worsen. So Anthony insisted the emergency personnel check the boy before he would release his grip. Miraculously, Scott's injuries were not serious, requiring just 13 stitches.There had only been 14 inches between the plow blade and the ground. Reporters later asked Anthony if he had hesitated before risking his life."No," he replied. "All I could think was that those two little kids have their whole lives still ahead of them, and if I do nothing, they're dead. There was no way I could let that happen."Soon after the incident, Anthony visited the Pritchards' home. He recalls putting his arms around Todd and Scott and lifting them. "It made me remember the moment when I first sheltered them under the train. It was a strange feeling, holding them again — and wonderful too."Since that first visit, the Pritchards say that Anthony has almost become a member of the family. They also report that a fence now separates their neighborhood from the railroad track.New Words and Expressionstrunkn. 汽车后部的行李箱struggle withhave difficulty handling or coping with 费力地对付groceryn.

全新版大学英语（第二版）综合教程第1册Unit7AnimalIntelligenceBefore Reading >> GorillaI. Introduction to GorillasListen to the following passage and fill in the gaps with the words you hear.It’s the largest of the great apes. The male is heavily built and may stand 1.7m (5.5 feet) in height, with an arm spread of 2.4m (7.8 feet). It has a large head with a short neck, a prominent (突起的) mouth, thin lips, and small ears. The female is smaller than the male. This huge animal has formidable (可怕的) canine (似犬的) teeth, yet it feeds on fruit and vegetables and has no natural enemies.Most of the day is spent on the ground; they usually walk on all four limps leaning on the knuckles (手指关节) of their hands, but occasionally upright. Gorillas live in family groups. The young gorillas climb very well, but old ones stay almost all the time on the ground. At night, the gorilla family sleeps on the ground in nests made of branches and leaves. Gorillas are hard to keep in captivity, for they are likely to get human diseases, such as tuberculosis (结核病). Gorillas, generally, are a center of attraction in most of the big cities.II. Features of GorillasHair and Skin:Gorillas are covered with brownish hair on most of their body (except their fingers, palms, armpits, and bottoms of their feet).Head:Gorillas have a very large head with a bulging forehead, and each has a unique nose print (like we have unique fingerprints).Gorillas have senses very similar to ours, including hearing, sight (they seem to be slightly nearsighted and have color vision), smell, taste, and touch.Habitat:Gorillas are primarily terrestrial (陆栖的) (although they lived in trees back in their evolutionary past). Gorillas live in tropical rain forests (in the forest edges and clearings), wet lowland forests, swamps, and abandoned fields.Before Reading >> Killer WhaleListen to a passage and answer the questions.1.

Still the most important difference between television and the board game is the interaction with others. Getting the family together to watch a show on television is nice; that is, if you can find a show on for the whole family. But playing a board game gives you the chance to learn, not only about the subject, but also about each other. Everyone is different, with their own views and unique ways of handling situations, giving each game a different outcome. One of the nicest parties I ever attended was one where we played a murder-mystery game called “How to Host a Murder.” We never knew what to expect next, and it was a wonderful way to get to know everyone.

1. Life satisfaction
Life satisfaction is the way a person perceives how his or her life has been, how they feel about and where it is going in the future. It is a measure of well-being and may be assessed in terms of mood, satisfaction with relations with others and with achieved goals, self-concepts, and self-perceived ability to cope with daily life. It is having a favorable attitude of one’s life as a whole rather than their current feelings. Life satisfaction has been measured in relation to economic standing, amount of education, experiences, and the people’s residence as well as many other topics.

Lesson 7Professor Ernest Watson was answering questions on a radio phone-in programme on the subject of learning a foreign language.Listener: Hello, Professor, can you hear me?Prof W: Yes, we can hear you fine.Listener: My name is Humphries, Albert Humphries, and I live in Balham, in London.Prof W: Yes, good evening Mr. Humphries. What is your question?Mr. H: I've been studying Spanish for some years. I go to Spain on holiday sometimes. I've learnt quite a lot of grammar and vocabulary. But I find it very difficult to speak, and when I went to Spain this summer, I couldn't understand the Spanish people at all. I got really disheartened.Prof W: Yes, it is a problem. How long have you been studying Spanish?Mr. H: About four years.Prof W: Yes, how exactly? Going to an evening class, using tapes ...?Mr. H: I've been going to an evening class and I've watched quite a lot of the BBC television programmes.Prof W: Oh, yes. They're very good. Did you buy the BBC book?Mr. H: No, we use a different book in the class. But I watched the programmes.Prof W: Yes, I see ... Mr. Humphries, I always think that learning a language is rather like learning to drive. Now, you couldn't learn to drive a car by sitting in a classroom or watching television. I think what you need is a lot of practice in using the language.Mr. H: That's all very well if you live in the country where they speak the language but I don't.Prof W: Yes, I understand the problem. Though even if you live in the country where the language is spoken, you have to reach a certain standard before you are able to have conversations with the natives. I was thinking perhaps you might arrange with another student or students to have regular conversation practice.Mr. H: But the other students make the same mistakes as I do.Prof W: I think you're confusing learning with practicing. Remember what I said about driving a car. Learning to speak means being able to put together the right groups of words and to say them in a reasonably accurate way.Mr. H: And what about learning to understand real Spanish?Prof W: Well, again, you need practice in hearing the Spanish language spoken by Spanish speakers. There are Spanish speakers in London. Get one of them to read some extracts from a Spanish newspaper onto a cassette. Have you got a cassette recorder?Mr. H: Yes.Prof W: Then you want to listen and listen and listen to the recordings until you almost know them by heart, just as if you were learning to drive, you'd practice parking the car, over and over again, till you could do it perfectly. Learning to speak a language is a very hard business. You don't need a huge vocabulary. You need a small vocabulary that you can use really efficiently, and to be able to do that you need lots and lots of practice.Woman: Good morning.Librarian: Morning, can I help you?Woman: Yes, I'd like to join the library. We're new to the district you see.Librarian: Certainly. Well all we need is some sort of identification with your name and address on it.Woman: Oh dear. We just moved, you see, and everything has my old address.Librarian: A driving licence, perhaps?Woman: No, I don't drive.Librarian: Your husband's would do.Woman: Yes, but his licence will still have the old address on it.Librarian: Perhaps you have a letter addressed to you atyour new house?Woman: No, I'm afraid not. We've only been there a few days you see and no one's written to us yet.Librarian: What about your bank book?Woman: That's just the same. Oh dear, and I did want to get some books out this weekend. We're going on holiday to relax after the move, you see, and I wanted to take something with me to read.Librarian: Well, I'm sorry, but we can't possibly issue tickets without some form of identification. What about your passport?Woman: What? Oh yes, how silly of me. I've just got a new one and it does have our new address. I've just been to book our tickets so I have it on me. Just a minute. Here you are.Librarian: Thank you. Well, that's all right. Now if you'd like to go and choose your books your tickets will be ready for you when you come back to the desk to have them stamped out.Woman: Oh, thank you. Er, how many books am I allowed to take out?Librarian: You can take four books out at a time and you also get two tickets to take out magazines or periodicals. Newspapers, I'm afraid can't be taken out; they have to be read here.Woman: Oh that's fine. We have our own daily newspaper delivered to the house. Oh, do you have a record library?Some libraries do, I know.Librarian: Yes, we do. You have to pay a deposit of ￡5 in case you damage them. But that entitles you to take out two records at a time. We also have everything available on cassette if you prefer it. Cassettes seem to be much more popular than records lately.Woman: Oh yes, as a matter of fact, I would prefer cassettes but I won't take any out today. I'll leave it until we come back from our holidays. Could you show me where your history and biography sections are, please?Librarian: Yes, just over there to your right. If there's any particular book you want you can look it up in the catalogue, which you'll find just round the corner.Woman: Thank you. Oh, and how long am I allowed to keep the books for?Librarian: For three weeks. After that you must telephone to renew the books if you wish to keep them longer. Otherwise we charge 20p a day fine for each book.Woman: Oh dear. We're going away for six weeks. Can I renew them now?Librarian: I'm afraid not. You must do that at the end of three weeks. Someone else might want them you see. And in that case we have to ask you to return them.Woman: You mean, if someone wants them after my three weeks are up I have to bring them back?Librarian: Yes, but just telephone and we'll see what wecan do.Woman: But I'm going to Tahiti. It would cost a fortune.Librarian: Well ...Woman: Oh, never mind. I'll leave it until we get back. It's not worth all the bother. I'll get some paperbacks in the airport. Well, thank you. I'm sorry I've been such a nuisance. Good morning.Librarian: Not at all. Good morning.Receptionist: United World Colleges. Can I help you?Julian: Yes, I'd like some information about the colleges, please.Receptionist: Hold the line. I'll put you through to the International Secretary.Creighton: Good morning. Robert Creighton speaking.Julian: Good morning. My name's Julian Harris and I have a friend in Spain who's interested in applying for a place at one of the colleges. There are one or two questions which she'd like me to ask you.Creighton: Go ahead.Julian: Thanks. The first one is: what language is used for normal lessons?Creighton: Well, the main language of instruction in all the colleges is English. But at Pacific College in Canadasome subjects are taught in French, and at the College of the Adriatic some may be taught in Italian.Julian: Right. Her next question is about fees. Is it expensive to go to one of the colleges?Creighton: Students' parents don't have to be rich, if that's what you mean. There are scholarships for all colleges, but we do ask parents to help by paying what they can afford.Julian: Good, she'll be glad to hear that. Now she wants to know something about getting into a college. Does she have to get high marks in her examinations?Creighton: Ah, yes, well she will have to do well, but academic ability is not the only thing that's important. We also look at personal qualities.Julian: What sort of things do you mean?Creighton: Maturity, the ability to get on well with people from different countries, that sort of thing.Julian: Of course. I understand what you mean. Her last question is about her other interests. Can she do painting and modern dancing, for example?Creighton: Yes, probably. It depends on the staff at the college she enters. Each college has its own special activities, such as theatre studies or environmental work, in which students can take part.Julian: Good. I think that's all. Thank you very much for your help.Creighton: You're welcome. I hope your friend sends in an application.Julian: I'm sure she will. Thanks again. Goodbye.Creighton: Goodbye.Grace: It's so great seeing you guys again.Curtis: Yeah.Martin: I agree.Grace: I can't believe it's been twenty years since we were all in college together.Martin: You know something, I remember it as if it were yesterday.Curtis: I do ... (Yeah.) I was just going to say, as if it were yesterday.Martin: Incredible.Grace: Martin, what do you remember most about our college days?Martin: Oh, I remember most?Grace: Uh-huh.Martin: Curtis's hair ... down to his waist.Curtis: Now, I remember how Grace looked. (Wha ...) Shealways had a flower painted on her face, remember that?Martin: Oh, yes. I remember that.Grace: Now wait, wait. Let's not forget about Martin and his air-conditioned blue jeans. I never saw anybody with more holes in their jeans than Martin.Martin: They're a classic. You know, I still have those blue jeans. (Oh.)Grace: Still have them? I don't believe it.Curtis: Oh. Incredible. I don't either.Martin: And I still wear them, too.Curtis: You know, I was just thinking the other day—it's funny-about that worst ... worst thing that happened in college.Martin: The worst thing?Grace: What was that?Curtis: Yeah. The time we were driving home from college for a spring break, remember? (Oooh.) (Ooh. Yeah. Oooh.) It was a holiday, and every gas station was closed. And that darn gas gauge was on empty.Martin: And (We were desperate.) we stopped at that gas station and tried to get some gas out of that pump.Grace: And the neighbours saw us and called the police. We almost got arrested. (Oooh.) Gosh, I was scared stiff.Martin: You were scared stiff? I was petrified. And—but, you know, it was a lot different from the time we actually did get arrested.Curtis: Umm.Grace: Yeah. You know, that's my best memory. That peace demonstration. (Yeah.) You know, somehow getting arrested for something you believe in isn't ... isn't scary at all.Curtis: No, it isn't at all.Martin: You're right.Curtis: But it did help that there were five hundred other students getting arrested along with us.Martin: That was a great day, though.Grace: Hey, hey, you all remember our last day of college?Martin: What, you mean graduation?Curtis: Graduation, what's to remember?

And that picnic that the threeof us had by the stream, remember? (That was great.) (Oooh.) Drinking wine, playing guitar, singing. Oh, that was worth more to me than any graduation ceremony.Martin: That was (Mm-hmm.) the best graduation ceremony there could have been.Curtis: Mm-hmm.1.Most of the subjects of the enquiry think that nearlyevery word in English has just one meaning.2. While it's true, of course, that many words in Englishdo have only one meaning, it can easily be shown that the majority have more than one.3. The third important misconception on the part of thestudents is their idea that a word can be used correctly as soon as its meaning is known.4. English has a larger vocabulary than any otherlanguage. The reason for this, of course, is that it has been influenced by several other languages. It has, in fact, borrowed words from many sources. It is, therefore, particularly rich in synonyms.5. Perhaps more important is a grammatical matter,namely that some words which mean the same can only be used when certain other words are present.6. Unfortunately, when many students pick up a book toread they tend to have no particular purpose in mind other than simply to read the book.7. The result is that students frequently don't have anoverall view of what they're reading; also, they tend to forget fairly soon what they've been reading.8. One reason for poor comprehension from reading maybe that students fail to make notes or to ask themselves questions about the text.9. If the reading material was broken down everytwenty-five pages by short tests, reminding him what he had read, he could go on without fatigue or loss of efficiency for periods of up to six hours.10. If he can increase his reading speed without lossof comprehension, then he'll have become a more efficient reader.Credit CardsMany businesses, such as department stores, restaurants, hotels and airline companies, use a credit system for selling their products and services. In a credit system, the seller agrees to sell something to the buyer without immediately receiving cash. The buyer receives the goods or services immediately and promises to pay for them later. This "buy-now-pay-later" credit system is quite old. People have been buying things on credit for centuries. But nowadays people use credit cards. There are two types of credit cards. One type is issued directly by a store to a customer. Many large department stores issue credit cards to their customers. The store credit card can be used to make purchases only at a particular store. The other kind of credit card is issued by a credit company. Credit cards from credit companies can be used to buy things almost anywhere. If you have a major credit card, you can buy airplane tickets, stay at hotels, and eat at restaurants with it. Most large credit companies are connected to largebanks. So if you want a credit card from a credit company, you generally have to make an application at a bank. After an applicant receives a credit card, he or she can make purchases, using the card.。

Complete the following chart.check out：查查hairline：发线comb hair：梳头shampoo：洗发bald：秃顶baldness：秃头ridiculous：可笑patch：部分，区域wig：假发Radio presenter: All right. Thank you for that call, Rosemary. We go now, I think, to Glasgow and our next caller, er, Jim Baillie. Hello Jim.Jim: Hello?Radio presenter: Hello Jim. What's your problem?Jim:Er … well I'm er … beginning to lose my hair. Er, I went to the doctor, but he just said there was nothing I can do about it. He said it was probably hereditary. My father was bald by the time he was thirty.Maurice: Hello, Jim.

Don't try to hide it. Whatever you do, don't comb it over because that usually looks ridiculous. And the other thing that usually looks ridiculous is a man with a wig. Don't let anyone persuade you to buy one of those false hairpiece things, because they usually look much worse than a bald man. I actually think bald men can look very attractive. My husband's bald and I think it really suits him.Part II The digestive system and diarrheaThe human body is a highly complex self-generator, that is to say, provided it is given the right fuel, it is capable of both curing and warding off disease. The food we eat helps to give us energy. It has a long journey to make before all its goodness has been taken into our body. The food takes up to six hours to be digested in the stomach, depending on the size of the meal. Thecomplete digestive process takes about 24 hours. But sometimes the system can go wrong.complex：复杂self-generator：自愈(体)provided：假设fuel：燃料warding off：避免digest：消化digestion：消化digestive process：消化过程digestive system：消化系统stomach：胃over-tax：课税过重；负担过重insufficiently：不够，不能胜任grind to a halt：慢慢减速到停止;陷入停顿rusty：生锈的，腐蚀的coil up：缭绕mechanism：机制，机能sluggish：行动迟缓的，反应慢的abdomen：肚子efficiently：效率高地;有效地break down：损坏watery：含水的，水分多的squeeze：挤；榨muscle：肌肉irritable：易怒的，急躁的;过敏的;应激性的;毛躁dehydrate：使脱水，使干燥gut：肠子；勇气;内脏;直觉;reasonable：合理的，公道的irritate：刺激，使兴奋;bowel：肠;内部;同情心，怜悯心obviously：明显clear up：清除intestine：肠enzyme：酶feces：粪，屎，渣滓;粪便symptom：症状;征兆diarrhea：腹泻constipation：便秘contaminated food：污染的食物virus：病毒parasite：寄生虫dehydration：脱水;干燥，极度口渴;失水fluid：液体，流体life saver：救生者bacteria：细菌syndrome：综合征;综合症状;典型表现tummy pains：胃/肚子痛a pinch of：一撮，少许AOur body is made up of thousands of different parts. All these parts work together to keep us alive and to help us move around. The parts of the human body are like the parts of a very complicated machine. Like any other machine, however, if it is inexpertly cared for, over-taxed or insufficiently used, it will become rusty, sluggish or clogged and parts of its mechanism may even grind to a halt. That is why it is so important to keep every part of the human machine healthy and properly cared for. To keep in good running order, the body requires the raw materials for growth and the replacement of tissues when necessary. Our bodies burn food like fuel to produce the energy we need.The human digestive system is a bit like a very long tube, but it's a lot more complex. It's several meters long, and most of it is carefully coiled up in our abdomen. It has several important jobs to do.First, it must digest or break down our food. Digestion starts the moment food enters our mouth. Then it continues as the food is squeezed along the gut by muscles in the wall of the intestine. As the food travels through the gut, natural chemicals called enzymes are added to it, which help break down the food. Then this digested food and water must be absorbed from the gut into our blood stream so that it can be used by the body. Finally, the gut must carry away any waste products in the form of feces.Usually our intestine does all these things very efficiently. But sometimes things can go wrong. Probably the most common gut symptoms are diarrhea and constipation.With diarrhea, the food and water travels too quickly through the intestine, often making the feces watery, and making it necessary to open the bowels more frequently.There are lots of causes of diarrhea. Probably the commonest causes of diarrhea are contaminated food or water, and infection caused by viruses or parasites.Many cases of diarrhea clear up within a few days without any special medicines. But the body loses a lot of fluid through diarrhea, so there is a very real risk of the body drying out or becoming dehydrated. Because of this risk of dehydration, the best treatment for diarrhea is simply to make sure you are drinking enough. Avoiding dehydration in this way can be a life saver.BThere are lots of different causes of diarrhea. Um, there are infections that can happen, and this is food poisoning, if you like, where in your food you eat some sort of bacteria or organisms, which infect you. Some foods can just irritate the gut and tend to give you diarrhea, although they are not infected. It's just the food itself (that) might irritate your system. Some people, if they get very nervous and stressed about something, find they tend to get diarrhea. Something called the irritable bowel syndrome where something goes wrong with the way the gut works. And people that suffer from this tend to get, um, tummy pains, and they get sometimes diarrhea, sometimes constipation. All sorts of causes.Most attacks of diarrhea, um, particularly in adults, are not serious and they clear up by themselves within one or two days. The most important thing is to drink lots of fluid, because if you have got diarrhea, you're obviously losing a lot of fluid. And so it's better really not to eat toomuch, not to worry about that, but to make sure you drink plenty of fluid. And ideally, this should have a little bit of salt and sugar in. You can get special rehydrating fluids, which are specially mixed. But if you want to make your own by adding just a teaspoonful of sugar and a pinch of salt, then it's obviously perfectly reasonable to do that.Part III ImmunityThe environment contains many potentially destructive microorganisms. It is impossible for us to avoid contact with microbes. That's why our body is constantly under attack from invading germs and infections. Then why don't we suffer from constant illness? Do we have our own defense system?B.potentially：潜在地destructive：破坏性的microorganisms：微生物impossible：不可能microbes：微生物，细菌invading germs：侵入的细菌suffer from：生病；忍受defense system：防护系统lash：鞭挞，鞭子;责骂;讽刺;眼睫毛immunity：免疫constant (ly)：持续come into play：起作用germ：细菌literally：字面上assist：帮助reserve：保存，储备，储存backup：支持，后援;阻塞;（计）备份文件bone marrow：骨髓antibody：抗体measles：麻疹polio：脊髓灰质炎；小儿麻痹症tuberculosis：肺结核The human body is constantly under attack from invading germs and infections. And the only reason we don't suffer from constant illness is our bodies have their own defense mechanism to fight off disease. This resistance to infection is called immunity.A: How does immunity work?B: Well, the immune system is the body's own secret army, which fights infection. And it consists of a whole range of troops, soldiers, their cells and their molecules. Now the headquarters of this army is really the blood. That's where it does most of its fighting. And sometimes it needs some reserve, and that comes from the bone marrow. That's where the immune cells are made.A: So there are many different kinds of cells, different kinds of molecules in the immune system. I guessed the ones that we're probably more familiar with are white blood cells.B: That's right. White blood cells form a major part of the body's defense. But there are also antibodies in their life, more proteins. They just lash onto the invaders. The white cells cansometimes actually gobble up invaders. The clever thing is that once the infection has attacked our body, the immune system seems to have a memory of the invader, so that the next time it sees the invader it can attack very quickly.A: There are some things which we're not naturally immune to and that's where vaccination comes in, isn't it?B: Exactly. Vaccination plays on the body's ability to remember infection. So what happens is that someone is given a version of an illness, for instance, measles or polio, or tuberculosis, and the body thinks that it is actually being infected with that infection. And the next time it sees it, the body can respond very quickly. All the troops of its immune system can come into play.A: Now sometimes the immune system doesn't work very well, does it?B:No. It’s a remarkably complex system. And sometimes it can go wrong. Either it can be overactive, so it actually starts to attack our own body self, or it can be underactive sometimes, and we are more likely to be infected in that situation.A: Are there any important illnesses which result from the immune system so that it's turning on our bodies themselves?B: There are. One example would be a disease like multiple-sclerosis, where the body's own immune system attacks the lining of nerves, which means that people's nerves don't work properly. A: We're able to assist the body in its fight against the illness in many cases, but there are some diseases which we don't seem to be able to produce a vaccine for. AIDS is one of them. Why not? B: The problem is AIDS, which is caused by the HIV virus, attacks the human immune system, which means that our normal defenses aren't there to fight off that infection. The other problem with trying to produce a vaccine against HIV or AIDS is that the virus, HIV, can change itself so easily. That's very difficult to find a vaccine which can recognize all the different types of HIV. So one vaccine may be effective against one type of the virus but it may absolutely be no good for another type.C.Presenter: The human body is constantly under attack from invading germs and infections. And the only reason we don't suffer from constant illness is our bodies have their own defense mechanism to fight off disease. This resistance to infection is called immunity. And here with me to discuss how it works is Grime Easton. He is a family doctor, and a member of the Science In It here in the BBC World Service. Grime, how does immunity work?Grime: Well, the immune system is the body's own secret army, if you like, which fights infection. And it consists of a whole range of troops, soldiers, their cells and their molecules. Um, now the headquarters of this army is really the blood. That's where it does most of the fighting. And sometimes it needs some reserve, some backup, and that comes from the bone marrow. That's where the immune cells' factories are.Presenter: So there are many different kinds of cells, and different kinds of molecules tied up in the immune system. I guessed the ones that we're probably more familiar with are white blood cells.Grime: That's right. White blood cells form a major part of the body's defense. But there are also antibodies in their life, more proteins, which just lash onto the invaders. Um, but, as you say, the white cells can sometimes actually gobble up invaders. So the clever thing is that once the infection has attacked our body, the immune system seems to have a memory of the invader, so that the next time it sees the invader it can attack very quickly. The immune system in the humanbody fights invading disease. Immunity occurs because the immune system can remember the chemical makeup of invading germs and attack them very quickly.Presenter:There are some things which we're not naturally immune to and that's where vaccination comes in, isn't it?Grime: Exactly. Vaccination plays on the body's ability to remember infection. So what happens is that someone is given a version of an illness, for instance, measles or polio, or tuberculosis, and the body thinks that it is actually being infected with that infection. And the next time it sees it, um, the body can respond very quickly. And all the troops of its immune system can come into play. Vaccination can be used to protect the body against specific infections.Presenter: Now sometimes the immune system doesn't work very well, does it?Grime: No. It's a remarkably complex system. It's a very complicated system. And sometimes it can go wrong. Either it can be overactive, so it actually starts to attack our own body self, or it can be underactive sometimes, and we are more likely to be infected in that situation.Presenter: Are there any important illnesses which result from the immune system so that it's turning on our bodies themselves?Grime: There are. And one example would be a disease like multiple-sclerosis, where the body's own immune system, we think, attacks the lining of nerves, which means that people's nerves don't work properly.Presenter: We're able to assist the body in its fight against the illness in many cases, but there are some diseases which we don't seem to be able to produce a vaccine for. Um, AIDS is one of them. Why not?Grime: Well, the problem is AIDS, which is caused by the HIV virus, is that HIV itself attacks the human immune system, which means that our normal defenses aren't there to fight off that infection, or indeed many other sorts of infection. The other problem with trying to produce a vaccine against HIV or AIDS is that the virus, HIV, can change itself so easily. Um, that's very difficult to find a vaccine which can recognize all the different types of HIV, which there are. So one vaccine may be effective against one type of the virus but it may absolutely be no good for another type.HIV is the virus that causes AIDS. HIV destroys the body's immune system, and puts the body at greater risk from other common infections.Presenter: I was talking to Dr. Grime Easton of the Science In It about immunity. The reason why he, I, and I hope you, are able to remain as healthy as we are.Part ⅣWhy do I catch coldsVirus are most definitely going to get you. And when they do, they will give you anything, from a cold to Ebola. And yet, technically, virus have no life of their own. So why do they cause so much trouble? More to the point, why do I catch colds?See that guy with the blocked nose. When he sneezes, 40,000 droplets will fly twelve feet in their air, infecting up to 150 people. You should have ducked. A cold virus just can’t live without you. With no cells of its own, it needs to take over your cells and replicate. Here’s something to think about. The virus can only travel around inside a blob of macus. And that mean whenever you catch a sniffle, someone else’s snot has been up your nose. Anyway, your immune system is constantly on the prowl for attackers like these. If it wasn’t, you could end up with fatal pneumonia. So, when it spots a viral invasion, it grabs a sample. Here, a T cell first identifies the invader and then deploys an army of tailor-made immune cells to your nose. These provide specialbackup for the standard immune cells already fighting your cold. Your nose has become a battleground. Meanwhile, to stop infection spreading to your lungs, you’re manufacturing a daily pint of macus. This snot gives you a headache. While the virus irritates your nose, so you have to blow it around 45 times a day. Beating a cold takes you about seven days and you’ll catch about four a year.This is the golden age for the cold virus. It hops on planes with its human hosts, visits new cities and finds hundreds of new homes with every sneeze. As it replicates, it mutates. So by the next year it may be back in a different form.Part V Dental HealthPeople have been troubled by tooth and gum problems for thousands of years. The earliest record of dental treatment comes from ancient Egypt. Books say the Egyptians treated gum swelling by using a substance made of spices and onions. The earliest known person to treat tooth problems was also from Egypt. He lived about five-thousand years ago. He was known as a "doctor of the tooth."Experts say Chinese people living almost five-thousand years ago treated tooth pain by acupuncture -- placing small sharp needles in different parts of the body. About one-thousand-three-hundred years ago, the Chinese filled holes in the teeth with a mixture of the metals mercury, silver and tin. That was almost one-thousand years before a similar substance was first used in western countries. Some ancient people like the Maya did not treat dental disease. But they made their teeth pretty by placing pieces of stone and metal on them.The ancient Romans were careful about keeping their teeth clean. More than two-thousand years ago, the Romans treated toothaches, filled holes in teeth, and made false teeth to replace those that had been lost.From the fifth to the fifteenth centuries, Europeans with tooth problems went to people called barber-surgeons. These people performed many services, including cutting hair, pulling teeth and treating medical conditions. Dental treatment improved during the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries as doctors increased their knowledge about teeth.Modern dentistry began in the Seventeen-Hundreds in France. That was when Pierre Fauchard published his book called "The Surgeon Dentist." It was the first book about dental science. The book provided information about dental problems for other dentists to use. And it described ways to keep teeth healthy. Pierre Fauchard is considered the father of modern dentistry. His work was important in helping establish dentistry as a separate profession.。

U n i t S e v e n Goals of LifePart I Appreciation of Life☺Task 3They say that you don’t know what you have until it’s gone. What makes people believe this saying is contrast. Contrast is necessary in order to illustrate the relative values of two or more options. When the options are compared, a judgment is made and a preference is established.For the real value of anything to emerge it would seem necessary to adopt this comparative procedure so that the correct judgments may be formulated and the preference realized. The trouble with this idea is that in order to appreciate anything it must be lost or at least a true knowledge of the absence of it must be recognized. If we put forward the challenge then, to begin appreciating the uniqueness of a human existence, what must an individual do in order to succeed at this? Give up his or her life?It would be fair to imagine that if the individual is to have a genuine chance at appreciating his or her life then comparison has to be abandoned as a methodology for recognizing value. And in fact, the comparison between options and the formation of judgment is an inefficient way of generating appreciation, for they do not take the function of emotions into account. To rely only on the comparison to promote appreciation, would be misguided, for the major components of appreciation and preference are emotional in their nature. Appreciation and preference are products of feeling.The key to the ability to appreciate is the ability to love. The love of life does not depend on comparison, nor does it depend on loss. Love can be experienced in its own right. True, one is more able to know love through the knowledge of its absence, however love’s power is not exclusively due to such knowledge. Love is a genuinely creative force devoid of the need for qualification and free from the constraints of anything other than the willingness to feel it.And so again, if the challenge is laid down to the individual to appreciate the uniqueness of human living and to enjoy the benefits of its special character, the obvious way of approaching such a challenge is to begin by loving life.Questions:1.What makes people believe the saying that you don’t know what you have until it’s gone?2.Why is it necessary to adopt a comparative procedure so as to appreciate anything?3.What is the trouble with the idea that for the real value of anything to emerge people must compare two ormore options?4.What must an individual do in order to appreciate the uniqueness of human existence?5.What is the key to th e ability to appreciate one’s life according to the speaker?6.What is the obvious way of meeting the serious challenge to appreciating the uniqueness of human existence?1.

Rational, industrious, useful human beings, that is, those who are not bored and not worried to death, are divided into two classes: first, those whose work is work (only) and whose pleasure is pleasure; and secondly, those whose work and pleasure are one. Of these the former are the majority.Oftentimes, fortune-favored children belong to the second class. Their life is a natural harmony. For them the working hours are never long enough. Each day is a holiday, and ordinary holidays when they come are grudged as enforced interruptions in an absorbing vocation.Winston Churchill is obviously thinking of himself as in this lucky class. Yet, he decided to take up painting, as what he called his “pastime” when he was turning 40. And he even seeks a justification for spending many hours away from the desk, passing time irresponsibly elsewhere.It is not surprising that Churchill lands on the claim of its usefulness in serving the main task. While work for the love of the work is nice, even the happy worker needs a break. You should take up some pastime so that you can return to your work restored. “To both classes the need of an alternative outlook, of a change of atmosphere, and of a diversion of effort, is essential.” In other words, as a statesman performing really important labors, presumably for the love of it, he needs a break and seeks a change of atmosphere". This is not because it’s “for the love of it,” but because it serves other, larger causes. Th e pastime provides his overworked brain with a distraction from more important political work and it provides a holiday to the really useful part of the statesman’s brain. Questions:1.How many classes may human beings be divided into according to the speaker?2.What class do rational, industrious, useful human beings belong to?3.What classes can rational, industrious, useful human beings be further divided into?4.What is the characteristic feature of the life of those fortune-favored children?5.What did Winston Churchill decide to do when he was turning 40?6.In what way is one’s pastime useful according to the speaker?1.

Those whose work is work and whose pleasure is not.B. Those whose work and pleasure are one.C. Those whose work is work and whose pleasure is pleasure.D. Both B and C.4. A. Ordinary.B. Harmonious.C. Lucky.D. Irresponsible.5. A. To take a break.B. To seek a justification.C. To pass time irresponsibly.D. To take up painting.6. A. In serving the main task.B. In seeking an alternative outlook.C. In overworking one’s brain.D. In getting one’s attention distracted.Part III Value of Life☺Task 3It has always been easier to define mental illnesses than to define mental health. More recently many have recognized that mental health is more than the absence of mental illness. Even though many of us don’t suffer from a diagnosable mental disorder, it is clear that some of us are mentally healthier than others. Here are some of the ideas put forward as characteristics of mental health:The ability to enjoy life: The ability to enjoy life is essential to good mental health. James Taylor wrote that "The secret of life is enjoying the passing of time. Any fool can do it. There is nothing to it." Too often we make ourselves miserable in the present by worrying about the futureBalance: Balance in life seems to result in greater mental health. We all need to balance time spent socially with time spent alone, for example. Those who spend all of their time alone may get labeled as “loners”, and they may lose many of their social skills. Balancing these two needs seems to be the key although we all balance these differently. Other areas where balance seems to be important include the balance between work and play, the balance between sleep and wakefulness, the balance between rest and exercise, and even the balance between time spent indoors and time spent outdoors.Flexibility: We all know people who hold very rigid opinions. No amount of discussion can change their views. Such people often set themselves up for added stress by the rigid expectations that they hold. Working on making our expectations more flexible can improve our mental health. Emotional flexibility may be just as important as cognitive flexibility. Mental healthy people experience a range of emotions and allow themselves to express these feelings.Self-actualization: What have we made of the gifts that we have been given? We all know people who have surpassed their potential and others who seem to have squandered their gifts. We first need to recognize our gifts, of course, and the process of recognition is part of the path toward self-actualization. Mentally healthy persons are persons who are in the process of actualizing their potential.Questions:1.What has been recognized about mental health?2.According to the passage, what is essential to good mental health?3.What does balance in life bring about?4.How does flexibility improve our mental health?5.What does the speaker say about the process of recognizing one’s gifts so as to actualize one’s potential in thepassage?6.What does the speaker mainly talk about?1. A. Mental health is nothing but the absence of mental illness.B. Mental health is anything but the absence of mental illness.C. Mental health is less than the absence of mental illness.D. Mental health is more than the absence of mental illness.2. A. Ability to enjoy life.B. Balance in lifeC. Flexibility in holding one’s ideas.D. Self-actualization.3. A. More social skills.B. Greater mental health.C. Outdoor experiences.D. Much wakefulness.4. A. By setting ourselves up for added stress.B. By the rigid expectations that we hold.C. By making our expectations more adaptable.D. By working on emotional flexibility.5. A. It’s a range of emotions.B. It’s a matter of surpassing one’s potential.C. It’s a waste of their potential.D. It’s part of the path toward self-actualization.6. A. Characteristics of mental health.B. Methods to maintain mental health.C. Differences between mental health and mental disorder.D.
