译文
2 My neighbour is an acquaintance but I only see him from an angle to the side. I’ve never seen him face on, but I do know that strangely, although we’re identical, we’re the exact opposite of each other, with my front door facing east and my neighbour’s facing west, my bedroom in the back over his kitchen, my kitchen under his bedroom in the front. I think I’m the lucky one because each morning, the stone glows in the sunlight.

Stress in the Workplace The problem of stress is not likely to go away. As the pace of change continues to increase, the demands upon us will also increase. We will have to make more decisions and make decisions faster; have to learn new skills, adapt to new situations, and cope with new threats. As a result we will find ourselves becoming more tired, making more mistakes, becoming more hostile, more anxious, more depressed, suffering more ill-health, and having more accidents.

a base for an argument
take this practice as a guide
Classifying propositions according to their grounds is important because people very often base their judgment of propositions according to their popularity, usefulness, source of authority as well as to their personal taste. They do not always accept beliefs because they are true. Often they accept them because their beliefs serve their immediate purpose, or because they sound nice, or because it is easier or safer to accept them.
• Other than: usually mean ‘except’, but here it means ‘apart from’. This usage is not considered standard by many people.

• Groundless Beliefs
• ground: (usu. pl.) the foundation / underlying condition for an argument, a belief, or an action; a cause or good reason for sth.

That night, Soliman came up with a name for his new business: College Hunks Hauling Junk. He distributed flyers the next day, and within hours, his phone was ringing. He asked his friend Nick Friedman to help out. They made $220 inthree hours cleaning out a woman’s garage.
At first they had trouble finding a bank willing to lend them money as they didn’t have much of a credit rating. After five turndowns, one bank decided to gamble $50,000 on their idea. They put together another $60,000 from their parents and their own savings. They bought a truck, hired a graphic artist to design a logo, ran newspaper and radio ads and recruited haulers on campuses. Wearing bright orange hats and green polos and khakis, these college “hunks” will haul away everything from construction materials to old couches. To cut down the cost of unloading at landfills, they have learned to recycle metals and electronics and donate to charities over 60 percent of what they collect. They also give away a portion of their earnings from each job to local college scholarship programs.

You’ll meet people and organizations that are still prepared to gamble —— intelligently, shrewdly，selectively -- even in a period of insecurity and instability. Their stories offer lessons in strategy, marketing，leadership，R＆D, and innovation。
They also remind us that the good moves we don't make can be as consequential as the bad moves we do make —— that playing it safe isn't always playing it smart。

Upon his death in 1638, the young minister left his library and half his estate to the new College. In 1639, in recognition of John Harvard's bequest, the Great and General Court ordered "that the colledge agreed upon formerly to be built at Cambridg shalbee called Harvard Colledge." Founded 16 years after the arrival of the Pilgrims at Plymouth, the College has grown from 9 students with a single Master into a University with an enrollment of more than 18,000 degree candidates.1. When did Harvard University established? (Answer: 1639)2. How did the University get its name? (Answer: Harvard was named after its first benefactor, John Harvard, of Charlestown, Massachusetts.)3. How many candidates now in University?(Answer: an enrollment of more than 18,000 degree candidates.)II.Cultural Notes:15mins1.Richard Tomkins (see reference book page 56)2.Technology (see reference book page 57)3.Stress in the workplace (see reference book page 57&58)4.Henley Centre: founded in 1974 by academics associated with the Henley Management Collegein Oxfordshire, notably the economist James Morrell. It was originally known as The Henley Centre for Forecasting, with a focus on business forecasting. It was initially run as a non-profit organisation in partnership with the management college, before becoming privately owned in the early 1980s. It was acquired by WPP in the 1990s and now sits within the Kantar Group,WPP’s information, insight and consultancy division.5.McDonald’s is the world's leading food service retailer with more than 30,000 restaurants in 118countries serving 46 million customers each day. It also serves the world some of its favorite foods---world famous French Fries(炸薯条) Big Mae(巨无霸)Chicken McNugges(麦乐鸡块)and Egg McMuffin（猪柳蛋汉堡包）II. Check the preview work (ask several students to tell the phenomena they collected of the modern life) 30minsSuggested answer:First, all people nowadays seems to be too much in a rush to spare enough time for one another. The pace of life is so high in this society that we have no time and energy to enjoy the sunshine every day. We are busy doing important businesses and working or buying houses. Time always seems to be limited and not sufficient at all. As a result almost all people feel the pressure of time. It seems that all the things in life is necessary and important for us to do that we can’t spare even half an hour to enjoy the warm sunshine outside. Second, science and technology plays a rather important part in our life, which on the one hand makes our life comfortable and convenient, but on the other hand makes our human beings develop a kind of abnormal dependence on modern scientific products. For example, we carry mobile phones to keep in touch with others, without it we may feel isolated and helpless. Third, more and more people complain that they are under a large amount of stress from work, study or simply from life. According to surveys many people feel exhausted, frustrated and even depressed.Teacher may sums up and leads into the Text by saying:True as the pace of our life is quickening ever faster, we all seem to be so busy, we seem forever on the go. Many people would ask: how are we to cope with so many things in so little time? But have you ever reflected on the reasons why we become so? Why we become so time pressed? What's the crux and is there any solution to prevent "old father Time becomes a terror"? Now, in the following periods we will see our author Richard Tomkins’ explanation. To begin with, we’ll see the organization of his writing.III. Analysis of the text structure 25minsIn many ways we can see that this piece is a rather persuasive argumentative paper, which much probably can be found in the editorial or comment section where journalists and others contribute regular or occasional columns reflecting on topical issues. Here in the initial part (paragraph 1-11), first by pointing out that we were wrongly estimated we would have more spare time with the help of technology, the writer proposes the problem of the pressure of time and present three reasons why we feel so time-pressed nowadays. Then in the second part (paragraph 12-18), the author goes on to concede that not everybody is affected to the same extent, that is, an exception: not everyone is time-stressed, and in the case of Americans they have actually gained more free time in the past decade. Next comes to the third part (paragraph 19-23), in which our author percepts a variety of reactions triggered by the time-famine. Finally in the last part (paragraph 24-28) the author pins down the crux of the problem and puts forwards a remedy for the stress we feel.(Note: in another way, our teacher can take the following form---ask student to fill the blanksIV1. Read part one carefully after class, and then find out the reasons why people feel time-pressedtoday.2. Summarize how the author lists facts to convince us of the unfavorable effects technology hashad on our lives.3. Read part three and underline the reactions provoked by time-famine.4. Try to list all writing skills employed in the text, such as quotations, figures, etc.Second periodExercise 15minsDictation:As the pace of life continues to increase, we are fast losing the art of relaxation. Relaxation is essential for a healthy mind and body, but stress is a natural part of everyday life and there is no way to avoid it. In fact, it is not the bad thing it is often supposed to be. A certain amount of stress is vital to provide motivation and give purpose to life. It is only when the stress gets out of control that it can lead to poor performance and ill health.Detailed Text Analysis: 70minsI. Part One 35minsStudents scan part I and then answer the following questions:1. What are the reasons that cause people feel time pressed today?Answer: 1) technology (paragraph 2 " But instead of liberating us, technology has enslaved us.")2) Information exploration (paragraph 7 "Technology apart, the Internet points the way toa second reason why we feel so time-pressed: the information exploration."3) Rising prosperity (paragraph 11 "There is another reason for our increasing time stresslevels, too: rising prosperity.")2. According to the author, has technology made our lives easier or more burdensome? Howmany facts does the author list in order to convince his readers?Answer: According to the author, technology has made our lives more burdensome. Apart from cramming work into our leisure time, it has also provided us with new burden such as spending hours in fixing software glitches on computers and filling our heads with useless information from the Internet.Facts are valuable as evidence that enhances the persuasive force of an argumentative paper. In the text, the author lists a number of facts to try to convince the readers of the unfavorable effects technology has had on our lives.Supporting facts in part one:1) The motorcar brings more traffic problems than it promises to solve.2) The air craft creates a high demand for time-consuming journeys that we neverdreamed of.3) The washing machine, contrary to our expectations, multiplies the hours spent on washingand ironing.4) Instead of making our lives easier, technology goes so far as to cram extra work into ourleisure time.5) Technology produces the new burden of dealing with faxes, e-mails and voicemails.6) Technology eats further into our time by forcing us to handle software glitches oncomputers and filling our heads with useless information from the Internet.3. What writing skills are used to enhance the persuasive force of the author's arguments in partone?Answer: i. Compare and contrast:para 1 & 2---technology, not liberated us but has enslaved us.para 8 & 9and10---through figures, we see the contrast between old days and new time,that is, why we say the information exploded.ii. Facts and examples to illustrate one's view:eg. In part one, there are a number of facts were listed to illustrate the unfavorable effects technology has had on our lives.(see Question 2 above)4. Language study in this part:on the go, cope with, set about sth./doing sth.(no passive), a large quantity of, free from, eat into, in reality, pour in, a handful of, amount to, stress (on), prosperity, oblige, oblige(sb.)(with sth./by doing sth.) abundance, in abundance, abundance of, confusion.II. Part Two15minIn this part the author displays his familiarity with the complexity of the problem, so he makes a concession, pointing out the exception: Not everyone is time-pressed, and Americans have actually gained more free time in the past decade. The following questions are for students to know this part better.1. What is "stress envy"? What do you think are the possible sociological motivations behind it? Answer: "If you're not stressed, you're not succeeding. Everyone wants to have a little bit of this stress to show they're an important person." (Paragraph 14) / In other words, feeling time stressed can bring a kind of sense of importance of oneself. This has its sociological motivations; maybe it is because people think only person of importance will have many things to deal with, and therefore will feel time starved. Or, generally only the people have nothing to do or achieve nothing will not be bothered by time famine. So people have a sense of "stress envy".2. What writing skills are used to enhance the persuasive force in this part?Answer: contrasts and quotations.Take quotation for example:In this part, our author seeks support from the use of quotations from a number of different people, not ordinary one but the well-known ones or experts. These quotations are provided together with the name of the person and background information on them. These details add human interest and support the argument by reference to the utterances of someone who would appear to be in a position to know. Another thing to be notice is, as the quotations record spoken rather than written English, the tone of language is often colloquial, which is rather different from a more purely academic essay.3. Language points in this part:confusion, volunteer, perception, appliance, distribution,III. Part Three 10minsQuestions for students:1. What are the reactions triggered by time famine?Answer: 1) “An attempt to gain the largest possible amount of satisfaction from the smallest possible investment of time.”(para 19)2) “People are also trying to buy time.”(para 21)3) “A third reaction to time famine has been the growth of the work-life debate.”(para 22) 2. What writing skills are used to enhance the persuasive force in this part?Answer: Cause and effect; quotationsTake cause and effect for example: In this text, the pressure of time felt by people is the cause, which arouses a variety of reactions among them. And quotation in this part (para 19&20) was used to prove that people value “quality time” and they become upset when time is wasted.3. Language points in this part:provoke, a variety of, domestic, spring up, futile, divertIV. Part Four 10minsQuestions for students:1. What is the crux of the problem? What about its remedy and the key solution?Answer: The author in the last part (in paragraph 24) pins down the crux of the problem as “the stress we feel arises not from a shortage of time, but from the surfeit of things we try to cram into it.” A successful remedy lies in understanding the problem rather than evading it---the global village is a world of limitless possibilities, and we should not expect to know everything in this world. The key solution is we human beings should have fewer desires. “W e need to set boundaries for ourselves, or be doomed to mounting despair.”2. Language points:a shortage of, switch off, be doomed toV. Homework: 5mins1. Review words and expressions of this Unit2. Prepare a class report on the topic of stress (about 130 words).3. Finish exercises after text A4. Previewing task:1) Read through the text and analyze the text structure;2) Have an after-class discussion on how much pressure we have to stand for in our daily lives.3) Have an optional writing entitled "The Ways We Cope with Time Pressure".Third periodI.Class report (two or three students is ok.)15minsSuggestion: Teacher asks students to rewrite their class report into an essay within 150 words. Suggested passage for teachers:Title: On StressIn our society, almost all people are under various kinds of stress. It is no wonder that stress has been shown to be one of the leading causes of health problems and under high stress conditions for an extended period of time stress can result in serious health problems and even premature death in an individual.While a certain amount of stress is good for a person and builds character, extended stress not only causes health problems but reduced work performance in an individual. Stress is a natural part of everyday life and there is no way to avoid it. In fact, it is not the bad thing as it is often supposedto be. A certain amount of stress is vital to provide motivations and give purpose to life. It is only when the stress gets out of control that it can lead to poor performance and ill health.If we are to survive in an ever-accelerating world, it is imperative that we learn to cope with the increasing pressure of change. If we do not, it is more than probable that we will find ourselves sucked into a downward spiral, desperately trying to manage in an increasing unmanageable world. II.Check of homework, including words and expressions, and our teacher should provide necessary explanation when going through the exercises after Text A 30minsText B Life in the Fast LaneFor Teachers’ leading words for this Text:As the pace of life in today's world grows ever faster, we seem forever on the go. With so much to do and so little time to do it in how can we struggle to save time? And does it make any sense? This text talks about untangling the problem and comes up with the answer.III.Check Ss' previewing work by asking them the following questions :( 10 minutes)---- How does the author state out his topic?---- How does the author challenge the traditional and widely accepted concept of timesaving? Suggested summing up words for Ts:In para1--11, the author states out his topic by listing a large number of facts.In para12-13, the author asks several questions and provides the answers to them, through the questions, the author's viewpoint gets quite persuasive.IV. Then, T asks Ss form groups to discuss the topic-- timesaving :( 25 minutes) In class, Ss can form groups of three or four to discuss and report how they save time in their daily lives. T lists those methods on the blackboard and reminds Ss to keep these methods in mind when they study the text, and see how many of them are mentioned in the text. (25 minutes) Suggested answers:1. Have their breakfast in classroom;2. Listen to the radio while doing their homework;3. Buy some fast or instant food instead of dining in the dining hall;4. Read books on their way to some places by bus. etc.From the methods we adopt in our daily lives, can we achieve such a conclusion: in order to save time, we always try to finish several tasks at the same time, which is also called multitask.Vlead Ss to focus on some topic sentences; therefore, they may grasp the main ideas of each para, which is helpful to the text division and idea grasping.Fourth periodI. Detailed Text Analysis :( 35 minutes)i. Part one: The topic is figured out by listing some phenomena of the fast pace of modern life.1. The author skillfully includes in the first paragraph his feeling on the modern life. Our teachers can first present the following questions to Ss:1) What does the author mean by saying "We are in a rush. We are making haste. A compression of time characterizes many of our lives"?He inclines to say that our lives today are in the fast lane, and everyone has to be quick.2) Why does the author list a large number of facts in para2-11?They are supportive details, which are used to illustrate author's point in para1.Then, T summarizes those details’ importance in the illustration of the topic.2. Important words and phrases of Part One:haste n. quickness of movement; hurry 急忙；匆忙e.g. Make haste!(= hurry!) 赶快。

21世纪大学英语读写教程第四册Unit6 Unit 6Text APre-reading ActivitiesFirst ListeningBefore listening to the tape, have a quick look at the following words.sock短袜EQ情商empathy同情Second ListeningListen to the tape again.

The listening passage says that Einstein was a genius in terms of _______.A) Emotional Intelligence or "EQ"B) Intellectual Intelligence or "IQ"C) both EQ and IQD) neither EQ nor IQ2. Which of the following is NOT an example of EmotionalIntelligence?A) Understanding your own feelings.B) Understanding the feelings of others.C) Being able to handle emotions effectively.D) Being smarter than others in your class.3. Which of the following statements best describes the relationship between EQ and IQ?A) People tend to have more of one than the other.B) People tend to have the same amount of each.C) They work together to make you successful.D) They depend on such factors as social class and how lucky you are.4. What is the main purpose of this passage?A) To introduce a new concept, EQ, and explain its significance.B) To explain why EQ is more important in life than IQ.C) To discuss different definitions of success.D) To criticize traditional notions of intelligence.The EQ FactorNancy GibbsIt turns out that a scientist can see the future by watching four-year-olds interact with a marshmallow. The researcher invites the children, one by one, into a plain room and begins the gentle torment. You can have this marshmallow right now, he says. But if you wait while Irun an errand, you can have two marshmallows when I get back. And then he leaves.Some children grab for the treat the minute he's out the door. Some last a few minutes before they give in. But others are determined to wait. They cover their eyes; they put their heads down; they sing to themselves; they try to play games or even fall asleep. When the researcher returns, he gives these children their hard-earned marshmallows. And then, science waits for them to grow up.By the time the children reach high school, something remarkable has happened. A survey of the children's parents and teachers found that those who as four-year-olds had enough self-control to hold out for the second marshmallow generally grew up to be better adjusted, more popular, adventurous, confident and dependable teenagers. The children who gave in to temptation early on were more likely to be lonely, easily frustrated and stubborn. They could not endure stress and shied away from challenges. And when some of the students in the two groups took the Scholastic Aptitude Test, the kids who had held out longer scored an average of 210 points higher.When we think of brilliance we see Einstein, deep-eyed, woolly haired, a thinking machine with skin and mismatched socks. High achievers, we imagine, were wired for greatness from birth. But then you have to wonder why, over time, natural talent seems to ignite in some people anddim in others. This is where the marshmallows come in. It seems that the ability to delay gratification is a master skill, a triumph of the reasoning brain over the impulsive one. It is a sign, in short, of emotional intelligence. And it doesn't show up on an IQ test.For most of this century, scientists have worshipped the hardware of the brain and the software of the mind; the messy powers of the heart were left to the poets. But cognitive theory could simply not explain the questions we wonder about most: why some people just seem to have a gift for living well; why the smartest kid in the class will probably not end up the richest; why we like some people virtually on sight and distrust others; why some people remain upbeat in the face of troubles that would sink a less resilient soul. What qualities of the mind or spirit, in short, determine who succeeds?The phrase "emotional intelligence" was coined by Yale psychologist Peter Salovey and the University of New Hampshire's John Mayer five years ago to describe qualities like understanding one's own feelings, empathy for the feelings of others and "the regulation of emotion in a way that enhances living." Their notion is about to bound into the national conversation, handily shortened to EQ, thanks to a new book, Emotional Intelligence by Daniel Goleman. Goleman, a Harvard psychology Ph.D. and a New York Times science writer with a gift for making even the most difficult scientific theories digestible to lay readers,has brought together a decade's worth of behavioral research into how the mind processes feelings. His goal, he announces on the cover, is to redefine what it means to be smart. His thesis: when it comes to predicting people's success, brainpower as measured by IQ and standardized achievement tests may actually matter less than the qualities of mind once thought of as "character" before the word began to sound old-fashioned.At first glance, there would seem to be little that's new here to any close reader of fortune cookies. There may be no less original idea than the notion that our hearts hold dominion over our heads."I was so angry," we say,"I couldn't think straight." Neither is it surprising that "people skills" are useful, which amounts to saying, it's good to be nice."It's so true it's trivial," says Dr. Paul McHugh, director of psychiatry at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. But if it were that simple, the book would not be quite so interesting or its implications so controversial.This is no abstract investigation. Goleman is looking for antidotes to restore "civility to our streets and caring to our communal life." He sees practical applications everywhere for how companies should decide whom to hire, how couples can increase the odds that their marriages will last, how parents should raise their children and how schools should teach them. When street gangs substitute for families and schoolyard insults end in stabbings, when more than half of marriages end in divorce,when the majority of the children murdered in this country are killed by parents and stepparents, many of whom say they were trying to discipline the child for behavior like blocking the TV or crying too much, it suggests a demand for remedial emotional education.And it is here the arguments will break out. Goleman's highly popularized conclusions, says McHugh,"will chill any veteran scholar of psychotherapy and any neuroscientist who worries about how his research may come to be applied." While many researchers in this relatively new field are glad to see emotional issues finally taken seriously, they fear that a notion as handy as EQ invites misuse. Goleman admits the danger of suggesting that you can assign a numerical value to a person's character as well as his intellect; Goleman never even uses the phrase EQ in his book. But he did somewhat reluctantly approve an "unscientific" EQ test in USA Today with choices like "I am aware of even subtle feelings as I have them," and "I can sense the pulse of a group or relationship and state unspoken feelings.""You don't want to take an average of your emotional skill," argues Harvard psychology professor Jerome Kagan, a pioneer in child-development research."That's what's wrong with the concept of intelligence for mental skills too. Some people handle anger well but can't handle fear. Some people can't take joy. So each emotion has to be viewed differently." EQ is not the opposite of IQ. Some people are blessedwith a lot of both, some with little of either. What researchers have been trying to understand is how they complement each other; how one's ability to handle stress, for instance, affects the ability to concentrate and put intelligence to use. Among the ingredients for success, researchers now generally agree that IQ counts for about 20%; the rest depends on everything from class to luck to the neural pathways that have developed in the brain over millions of years of human evolution.(1 047 words)New WordsEQ(abbr.)emotional quotient 情商interactvi.(with) act or have an effect on each other 相互作用；相互影响marshmallown. soft sweet made from sugar and gelatine 果汁软糖tormentn. severe physical or mental suffering （肉体或精神上的）折磨，痛苦vt. cause severe suffering to 折磨；使痛苦errandn. small job that requires a short journey, usu. for sb. else （短程的）差事，差使hard-earneda. gained with great difficulty or effort 辛苦挣来的surveyn. investigation 调查adventurousa. eager for or fond of adventure 渴望冒险的，喜欢冒险的dependablea. that may be depended on 可信赖的，可靠的scholastica. of schools and education 学校的；的；学业的aptituden. natural ability or skill 天生的才能或技巧；天资brilliancen. the quality of being brilliant 光辉，辉煌；壮丽；（卓越的）才华，才智woollya.羊毛（制）的；产羊毛的；像羊毛的mismatchvt. match (people or things) wrongly or unsuitably 使错配，配合不当sockn. short stocking covering the ankle and lower part of the leg 短袜ignitev.(cause to) catch fire, burn （使）着火，燃烧；发光dimv.(cause to) become dim （使）变暗淡；（使）变模糊；（使）失去光泽impulsivea.(of people and their behavior) marked by sudden action that is undertaken without careful thought （指人或人的行为）凭冲动的；易冲动的messya. in a state of disorder;

Bribery has become a global disease that plagues every government. Now pleasework in group to discuss questions as follows:

People feel that bribery is increasing throughout the world. One day, business students will grow into managers of all ranks and in all fields. If they should offer or take bribes in their positions, corruption and unfair competition would result. In that case, normal economic order would be ruined, and people in business circles would have no commonly agreed principles to follow. To prevent this, business students are now required to study professional ethics as part of their course.
2. Why do the people in the motor industry have to give bribes or extra discounts?
People in the motor industry argue that the market is very competitive. If they don’t give bribes to make the customers happy, one of their rivals will. And, as a result, they are likely to lose their share of market, which is unacceptable to both the salespeople and the company.
