The worst day of all is the one when you know that the postman is to deliver the letter which will inform you whether the academic world considers you a failure or a success, whether you can get the job you want, or go to the university you wish to attend.

This is natural enough, after being a child for so many years when you were completely under you r parents’ control.” To these To these youngsters, my advice is this: “If you plan to control your own life, you’d better win your parents over and try to get them to understand you. If your parents see that you have a high sense of responsibility , they will certainly give you the right to do what you want to do.”翻译翻译1. In China, it is unlawful to cut down trees without permission.未经许可砍伐树木。

Unit 6 Sports Hero
Jordan’s father was murdered during a robbery in 1993, and this tragic event partially led to Jordan’s temporary retirement from basketball that same year. He tried baseball, which he stuck with until 1995 when he returned to the NBA. He played a part in the movie “Space Jam” during the off season of his first year back in the NBA.
In 1984, he left UNC after his junior year to play in the NBA when the Chicago Bulls drafted him. He was the third pick of the first round. In 1985, he was named rookie of the year. In 1991 Michael Jordan won his first of six NBA championships. The next year he won a gold medal in the Barcelona Olympics. During the off season, he returned to UNC to finish his Bachelor of Arts degree.
Unit 6 Sports Hero

He always worked hard at everything that he did. He was very determined and never gave up. He always found a way to triumph in any situation. He always found time to spend with his family. All of these things make him one of the greatest heroes of all time.

Script: A: I'm sorry, Mr. Henderson. I have a poor memory with words.
B: That's no excuse for a D.
Many people agree that dreams reflect one's deep thoughts and feelings. The people, actions, settings and emotions in your dreams are personal to you. Some dream experts think that there are typical dreams and dream elements that happen to different persons, cultures, and times. But usually the same image or symbol will have different meanings for different people. For example, an elephant in a dream can mean one thing to a zoo keeper and something quite different to a child whose favorite toy is a stuffed elephant. Therefore, books which give a specific meaning for a specific dream image or symbol are not usually helpful. By thinking about what each dream element means to you or reminds you of, by looking for connections between what is happening in your dreams and what is happening in your waking life, you can learn to understand your dreams. It can be helpful to keep a dream diary and reflect on many dreams over a long period of time.

Unit 6 Mind主题：dreamsMemoriesPage 99 Activity 2 W: Morning, Simon. Wow, you look tired. M: Oh, I didn’t sleep very well last night. I had a weird dream. I was in a classroom at school, but I didn’t haveany clothes on! No one looked at me, but I was really embarrassed. Conversation 2 Woman: Jesse, Jesse! Wake up! You’re having a nightmare.Child: Oh, what a terrible dream!I dreamed I was on a dark street. Suddenly, therewas a large dog behind me. It ran toward me, but I couldn’t move. W: Don’t worry, Jesse. It was only a dream. Go back to sleep. Conversation 3Man 1: Morning, Tim. Man 2: Morning. Hey, I had an amazing dream last night. I was on abeautiful boat. The sun was warm and the ocean was really blue. I jumped into the water, and I began to swim with the fish. The thing is, I can’t swim! But in the dream, I could. It was pretty cool. Activity 3I had an amazingdream last night. I was standing outside of an strange big house. The house was painted pink, a very rare color for a house. It had a lot of big windows, either round or rectangular. The house had large square pillars and twisted columns. I was thinkingthere must be a big living room, several bedrooms, a kitchen, and a guest room in such a big house. I was wondering whose house this was when I suddenly heard a voice from somewhere: “My lord, welcome home.” Wow, this was mydream house.I went inside and walked into my living room. It was spacious. There were sofas, a table, a big-screen TV, and a stereo system. It was pretty cool. All my best friends were there, too. But somehow they didn’t speak, didn’tsmile, and didn’t even move. And then suddenly they all disappeared. I was scared. What a terrible dream. I then went to the kitchen. It was also spacious. There were all kinds of kitchen equipment, including a gas stove, a refrigerator,and an oven. There also many electric appliances, such as a microwave oven, an electric mixer, and a food processor. I liked the food processor the most, which made life much easier. There was also a dining table in the middle of the room. The whole familywas sitting around the table, waiting for the meal to be served. But the fridge was empty, and the gas stove didn’t work. And there was no electricity at all for the microwave oven and the the food processor. The hungry kids started to cry. I was in despair.And then suddenly I woke up.Activity 4Scientists know that the brain is very active when a person is sleeping. There are five stages, or parts, of sleep. Stage 1 starts after you fall asleep, if there is a noise or a bright light,you wake up very easily. In Stage 2, your brain waves are very slow. In Stage 3 and Stage 4, you are in deep sleep. It’s very difficult to wake up then. Your body rests and grows during these stages.Stage 5 is when you dream. Your eyes movea lot, and your brain waves are fast. This stage of sleep is very important for your memory. After Stage 5, you wake up a little, and the Stage 1 starts again. We go through the five stages of sleep four or five times every night, so we have manydreams in one night. How much sleep do you need? The answer depends on your age. Babies should sleep fifteen to sixteen hours. Children and teenagers need nine or ten hours of sleep, but older people only need six to eight hours. If you sleeponly four hours every night, you may just feel tired the next day. But many nights of bad sleep can be bad for your health. People who don’t get enough sleep get sick more often. And sleep is very important for learning. It’s one reason why studentsshould go to bed early.Activity 5AFor centuries, people have asked:Why do we dreams mean? Today, science doesn’t have definite answers to these questions, but we do know some things about dreams. First,we alldream, often four to five times a night. Second,we don’t usually remember most of our dreams. And finally, when we dream, our brains are very active.Thousands of years ago, people began to study dreams. In many cultures, peoplebelieved dreams were messages from spirits or gods. Later,teh ancient Greeks and Romans had a new idea: Dreams come from a person’s mind. Doctors studied dreams to help sick or worried people.B In the past, some cultures used dreams topredict the future. They thought dreams could help a person choose a husband or wife,guess a baby’s birthday, or start a business. In some places, this practive is still common. Today, scientists think dreams are about our thoughts andfeelings. Our minds send us messages about our lives. Unfortunately, many message are often strange or confusing. People wake up and think:What did that dream mean?So, how can you understand the messages in your dreams? Thinkabout the events in the dream. What do they say about your life? For example, one common dream is about flying. Sometimes this dream means you feel free or want freedom. Other times it means you feel afraid.

Background knowledge
Richard M. Nixon Born in California in 1913, Nixon was the 37th President (1969–1974) of the United States. During his administration the United States withdrew its military forces from Vietnam and Nixon's most significant achievement in foreign affairs may have been his icebreaking China tour and the establishment of direct relations with the People's Republic of China. The Watergate scandal that occurred at the beginning of his second term brought Nixon to resignation. In his last years, Nixon gained praise as an elder statesman. By the time of his death on April 22, 1994, he had written numerous books on his experiences in public life and on foreign policy.
